While the 2028 college football season is still years away, the Longhorns have been busy on the recruiting front. That will continue this weekend as they welcome Andrae Maddox to campus for a visit. The talented EDGE is not ranked by 247Sports but has drawn high reviews from scouts.
During the recruiting process, Maddox has received offers from Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kansas State, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, and UNLV. With no commitment date set, that list should continue to grow. That is partly why the Longhorns are making their interest clear early on.
Although Maddox’s high school career is just getting started, he has made the most of his playing time. As a freshman, he showed a talent for frustrating offensive coordinators. That is a trait that would translate well to the SEC and for a team like the Longhorns chasing a title. This weekend, Steve Sarkisian and his staff will get to show Maddox what a future in Austin would look like.
When it comes to the 2028 class, Texas has cast a wide net so far. They have made offers to four-star recruits such as Neimann Lawrence, Kevin Hartsfield, Deandre Bidden, Braxton Rein, Joey Fleming, Asher Ghioto, and Tahj Gray. Adding any of those players would be a major win for Sarkisian and his staff.
Over the next few weeks, the Forty Acres will be filled with recruits. The Longhorns will also welcome elite prospects such as such as Ty Winn, John Meredith, and Montre Jackson to campus. Each player in that group, is still weighing their best options.
As Maddox continues his recruiting tour, the Longhorns will be a team to keep an eye on. While a lot could change over the next few weeks, it is a very good sign that he was willing to visit campus.
