Midwest 4-star EDGE ready to visit Texas Four-star EDGE prospect Damien Shanklin (Indianapolis, In./Warren Central) is headed to Austin for an official visit June 21.

Updated April visitor list The Texas Longhorns April visitor list continues to grow with three weekends being key. The first weekend will be an offensive weekend April 6. The second will be a defensive weekend April 13 with a sprinkling of offensive prospects that can only make it the 6-7th weekend. The final weekend will be around the April 20 Spring Game.
