Here is 247's Clint Buckley on how Broughton's commitment could influence rest of 2020 class --
Vernon Broughton’s commitment to Texas was the Longhorns’ ninth of the 2020 class, but more importantly, it was head coach Tom Herman’s first to play on the defensive line. The four-star defensive tackle is the third-highest rated commit in the Horns’ class, just behind quarterback commits Ja'Quinden Jackson and Hudson Card. Broughton, who picked Texas over the likes of Alabama, Arkansas, LSU, Ohio State, and Texas A&M, could have ripple effects on the rest of Texas’ recruiting class, especially on the defensive line. Other potential D-line targets include Princely Umanmielen and Alfred Collins. If the Longhorns were able to secure all three of those players, the 2020 class could be the best D-line group in the Herman era.
Broughton is the highest-rated defensive line commit in Herman’s four recruiting classes thus far, and the addition of both Umanmielen and Collins as defensive ends could give the Longhorns one of the best D-line trios of any school in the nation. Texas outside linebacker commit Prince Dorbah is the best pass-rusher in the state of Texas, and Broughton’s strength and athleticism will do wonders for the Longhorns when it comes to stopping the run. It’s often been said that most games are won or lost in the trenches. With three O-line commits already in addition to the commitments of Broughton and Dorbah, Texas has loaded up on premium front-line players in 2020.
