Here is Bobby Burton on 3 of our less highly ranked commits -- I know some people hate Burton with a passion so I am putting it inside the spoiler brackets so it doesnt burn your eyes
OL, Andrej Karic, 6-5, 270, Southlake Carroll
ATH, Jaden Hullaby, 6-2, 205, Mansfield Timberview
WR, Dajon Harrison, 5-10, 170, Hutto
I’d suggest all three have the potential to eventually contribute heavily to the Horns. Of the three, I particularly like Hullaby as an outlier. Nobody seems to know exactly what position he will play. Is he a TE, an H-back, a big running back or even a rush linebacker? That sort of versatility is rare. And it’s also telling. He kind of reminds me of Jason Hall, the former South Grand Prairie safety who everyone thought was too slow to stick at safety yet started four years for the Longhorns, despite being one of the lowest rated players in his own recruiting class.
In Karic, Texas is getting a lineman that is somewhat raw. He should be able to fill out to the 300-pound range in a couple of years. He’s not the quickest-footed lineman Texas will sign, but he may be the meanest on the field.
Harrison is perhaps easiest for some to dismiss. He’s from CenTex, a local product with not a lot of national appeal among the other bigger receivers, like Quentin Johnston and Troy Omeire. But about a decade ago, there was another Hutto receiver, Jeremy Kerley, who ended up making it big.
Harrison reminds me more of another CenTex product. He’s similar to a Billy Pittman-type receiver with a lot more wiggle. Pittman had a solid career with the Horns, including a big TD against OU and a chain-mover on the final drive against USC for the national championship. So as we go into next week, and we hear the names like Bijan Robinson, Ja’Quinden Jackson and more, remember that the odds are that the ones who are overlooked will still contribute to the team and somehow etch their name into Longhorn lore.
If you do read his thoughts, you might remember he absolutely hated the LJH commit, and also told us Leitao would be an impact player.
