Indianapolis (In.) Warren Central 4-star EDGE in the 2025 cycle Damien Shanklin confirmed with OnTexasFootball Friday that he has an official visit scheduled to Texas June 21-23. 

Michigan, Texas, Tennessee Notre Dame and Ohio State have emerged as the schools at the top of the list for the 6-4, 230 pound pass rusher. He will make visits to all five, both in the spring and summer OV's. Notre Dame is expected to receiver a spring unofficial and June official visit. 

Texas offered Shanklin in September of 2023. 

OTF will have more on Shanklin this weekend.

Texas has one committed in Lance Jackson 

Shanklin, Kamauryn Morgan and Nick Townsend (jumbo athlete) are three Texas really likes 

While this period of time is generally rather slow as far as the team and recruiting goes, I do love the info about ‘25 and ‘26 recruits. It is a great time to hear about and discuss potential future Longhorns. 

His highlight is fun. Felt bad for the pulling OT in the 3rd clip.

Has Texas started to shy away from Woodfork?

He remains the same IMO ... a prospect Texas was/is evaluating. His frame may not have the muscle mass projection some in the SEC are ideally looking for, but we shall see.

Not just Texas, but I think the spring will be very big for his overall recruitment. Was coming off the knee injury in 2023, and that limited him at times - especially early in the season. 

Orogbo is the kid I'm waiting to see if they get aggressive with.
