I just love statements like this-
The Wichita Falls, TX product grew up just hours away from the Longhorns stadium. As a child, JT always dreamed of being a Texas Longhorn, and was heartbroken when they offered Tyrone Swoopes over him for their QB in the 2013 class.
Here is what Jim Garfield, his coach at S.H. Rider High School, had to say about the situation as reported in an article by ESPN.com:
“He had aspirations of being a Longhorn and that didn’t come true, so this is probably the closest thing to playing that game, you know?”
"I don’t think there is any debate that J.T. would have been a Longhorn if he got the offer"
and this-
this was said by Tom Herman in October of 2014. The new Texas Longhorn coach told Cleveland.com:
“I think J.T. would be the first to admit that I think early in the recruiting process, had the University of Texas offered him, he probably would have committed to them”. “But they didn’t.”
