While Texas looks for its new defensive line coach, Steve Sarkisian has elevated Texas' Director of Recruiting, Brandon Harris to the 10-man coaching staff to allow him to get on the road to recruit.

Harris was out in Louisiana Tuesday afternoon, checking in on a pair of powerhouses in the area.

First stop was at Westgate High School, home to 2025 CB Jaboree Antoine and former home of Texas S Derek Williams. 

Soon thereafter, Harris made the trip to University Lab, home to 2025 LB Keylan Moses (LSU commit) and the No. 2 overall player in the 2026 class, OT Lamar Brown.

Sarks staff works almost as hard as On Texas Football staff!

I always wanted Sark to let Harris recruit more 🤘🤘🤘🤘 kids love him 

I’m surprised LSU hasn’t tried to lure Harris back yet…or have they??

Harris actually just extended an offer to Lamar Brown on his visit to University Lab this afternoon.

 

Let's Get It, 🤘

Good stuff CJ, is Keylan any relation to Dylan the former Bama LB?

Bobby, might Sark move Nansen to DL coach and go find another LB coach? Which is move difficult to find, a great DL coach or a great LB coach? 

That feels like we’re probably taking a reset for the interior defensive line coaching search. Sark probably thought he had a hire near the finish line.  If not, I feel we would have activated Harris weeks ago.

I know Sark will find the right guy. Good to have another “coach” out on the road until then!

Is recruiting University Lab even worthwhile? How many have strayed from LSU? 😄

Yes, younger brother. Texas had interest last spring, though I bet we see a prioritization of the DFW LBs.

Malcolm Roach is from Baton Rouge. It’s rare but it happens.

It’s possible. I don’t think it’s his preferred route though.

Brandon Harris seems like a good dude. Wouldn't be surprised to see him getting an on field position somewhere in the next few years. Plus kids seem to love him on the recruiting trail.
