Texas lost two of their top tight ends this offseason with Cade Brewer entering the NFL draft and Jared Wiley transferring to TCU.
Tight ends coach Jeff Banks was able to bring in Alabama transfer Jahleel Billingsley to help fill the void, but Texas did not take in a tight end in the 2022 recruiting class.
As of Feb. 21, Texas has extended an offer to seven tight end prospects for the 2023 cycle and are in good position with Lafayette Kaiuway and Will Randle. Several others who have received an offer from the Longhorns have already committed elsewhere.
Longhorns Wire has started a new series where we’ll look at each player that Texas has offered in the 2023 recruiting class by position group. We’ve covered the running backs already, now we’ll take a look at the tight ends that have received an offer from the Longhorns up to this point.
