Flip alert is buzzing in Austin as Texas has reportedly reignited its pursuit of a former priority target who is currently committed to UCLA. The development comes in the wake of DeShaun Foster’s situation in Los Angeles, which has cast uncertainty over the Bruins’ recruiting momentum. For the Longhorns, this represents a prime opportunity to swoop back in and try to flip a talented prospect who had once been high on their board.
Texas staff has maintained quiet ties with the recruit, and with the instability around UCLA’s program, confidence is growing in Austin that the Longhorns can make a late push. The player’s skill set fits seamlessly into Steve Sarkisian’s long-term vision, and the combination of facilities, NIL backing, and Texas’ upward trajectory in the SEC makes the pitch even more attractive now than before.
For the recruit, the decision could come down to stability and development. With UCLA facing potential challenges in the post-Foster era, Texas can sell itself as a safer, stronger option both on and off the field. If momentum continues to swing, a flip to the Longhorns wouldn’t just be a recruiting win—it would send another message that Texas is capitalizing on every opportunity to strengthen its roster with elite talent.
