Texas Cornerback Recruiting Target to Commit in Less than Two Weeks
Texas defensive back target Ishmael Ibraheem announced his commitment date for June 15.
The four-star cornerback is one of the most coveted players in the state of Texas and has the most Division I offers than any Texas prospect.
Ibraheem is the No. 12 cornerback, No. 20 player in the state of Texas and No. 124 overall prospect in the 2021 class according to 247Sports.
Texas was included on Ibraheem's top 10 list along with Alabama, Georgia, Baylor, TCU, LSU, Oklahoma, Michigan, Auburn and Texas A&M. He also holds offers from Liberty, Illinois State, Grambling State, Arkansas, Washington State, Washington, Utah, USC, Texas Tech, South Carolina, SMU, Oregon State, Ole Miss, Oklahoma State, Notre Dame, North Texas, Nebraska, Missouri, Missisippi State, Michigan State, Kansas, Houston, Georgia Tech, Colorado and Boston College.
Watching his film: Ibraheem flashes all the skill traits college coaches look for in top-end cornerback recruits. He's 6-foot-1 and his wingspan makes him even longer than that when he's defending passes. He has good instincts, and he can high-point the football with the best of them. He ran a 23.7 in the 200-meter dash this past year on the track and can get up to top speed quickly.
Where Texas stands: The Longhorns look like the clubhouse favorites in the battle to land Ibraheem right now. They hold all six "crystal ball" picks from 247Sports and that sentiment seems to be backed up by just about everyone in the Texas high school recruiting scene. Not only is Texas the leader, but Ibraheem setting a commitment date only adds to the positive outlook for Longhorn fans.
