Texas Football: Longhorns Left off Four-Star Receiver's Top Five
Texas will have to make up some ground if it wants to land in-state four-star wide receiver JoJo Earle.
The Aledo, Texas wideout named his top five schools today on Twitter, listing Ohio State, TCU, LSU and Oklahoma.
The 5-foot-9, 170-pound speedster seems destined to play in the slot at the next level, cut from the same cloth as outgoing Texas senior Devin Duvernay, Earle has game-changing speed that could also be useful in the return game.
Buzz seemed to indicate that Earle was an early Texas lean, but uncertainty with the staff seems to have opened the door for several other programs to get in on his recruiting.
Earle doesn't have a timetable on making a commitment, so one would have to think that Monday's permanent hiring of interim receivers coach Andre Coleman will only bolster the Longhorns' chances of jumping back into the game and climbing Earle's list of suitors.
Coleman is a proven recruiter who hit the road for Texas back in early December to help keep its 2020 class together after massive staff changes created uncertainty.
Andre is a pro's pro," Texas head coach Tom Herman said on signing day. "He's been doing this a long time. The road is certainly not foreign to him."
Texas is currently ranked No. 3 in the nation in the 2021 recruiting class according to 247 Sports. The seven-member class is highlighted by Denton Ryan four-star athlete Ja'Tavion Sanders (ranked No. 4 at his position), dual-threat quarterback Jalen Milroe from Katy Tompkins (No. 3 at his position)
