AUSTIN, Texas -- The Texas Longhorns have now added one of the best athletes in 2024 to their talented recruiting class.

Texas snagged a commitment from Daingerfield (Texas) receiver/athlete Aeryn "Bubba" Hampton on Friday, as he chose the Longhorns over the Alabama Crimson Tide. Hampton is now the fifth 2024 commitment for Texas in the last week and the 13th overall.

“Texas has always been my dream school," he told On3. “Just my relationship with the coaching staff and the plan that they have for me,” Hampton said. “It feels like it is the best decision.”

Hampton has done a little bit of everything during his high school career, as it'll be hard to find anyone posting these kind of all-around numbers.

Per 247Sports' stats for Hampton, he's totaled 99 catches for 2,190 yards and 25 touchdowns over the past two seasons. He's also posted 23 carries for 327 yards and seven touchdowns.

But that's just on offense.

On defense, Hampton has tallied 148 tackles, nine tackles for loss, three forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, 11 pass breakups and an incredible 10 pick-sixes on 18 total interceptions. To add insult to injury for the opposing team, he's also returned two kickoffs back for touchdowns.

While stats don't always tell the story, Hampton's case might be an exception. He has proven he can find the end zone in all three phases. These numbers will only become more impressive once he takes the field again this fall, and you can bet excited Texas fans will be watching.
