Five-star OL locks in Texas official visit (Monday 6:21 a.m. CST)

Five-star OL locks in Texas official visit
The top offensive tackle target for the Texas Longhorns has locked in a June official visit. 
Lewisville (Texas) High's Michael Fasusi told OnTexasFootball that he will make his official visit to Texas June 21-23.
Fasusi, 6-5 and 300 pounds, will be on campus with his family for an unofficial visit this spring as well. The DFW area OnTexasFootball 5-star will make an unofficial visit April 9. It will be an opportunity to spend time with the entire Texas staff on a Tuesday around a spring practice.
Texas and Oklahoma have been the top two in the recruitment since prior to the 2023 season. Texas A&M and Missouri are also legitimately in the picture with Oregon attempting to make a run. 
Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian, offensive line coach Kyle Flood and running backs coach Tashard Choice made a school visit in late January, spending about an hour talking with Fasusi and his father.

Height: 6-5 Weight: 305 Wingspan: 83 5/8 40-yard Dash: 5.05 10-yard split: 1.78 Vertical Jump:  Broad Jump:  ***
Great opportunity for Jones to carry on the momentum started by previous Longhorns this weekend.

The Price of Winning

This off-season, Texas is paying the price of winning.
Yet another of Steve Sarkisian’s behind-the-scenes employees has left for increased responsibilities elsewhere.
Bobby Merritt, who was responsible for breaking down opposing film and evaluating prospects in the portal for the Horns in 2023, has been hired by Rice University as its new general manager.
The move has yet to be announced publicly but Merritt started with Rice on Friday.
Merritt’s former boss at Texas, Billy Glasscock who was the director of player personnel for the Horns, left in January to become the General Manager for Ole Miss.
That’s the price of winning. People will move up and get more responsibilities at other places.

Xavier Worthy Breaks NFL Combine 40-Yard Dash Record

History has been made in Indianapolis!
Texas WR Xavier Worthy has recorded the fastest 40-yard dash in NFL Combine history — 4.21 seconds. 
On the second of two attempts, Worthy broke the record previously held by Washington’s John Ross at 4.22.
It was a tremendous afternoon for Longhorns at the Combine with AD Mitchell also clocking an impressive 4.34 official time in the group previously. RB Keilan Robinson recorded a 4.42 time of his own as well.
But for Worthy and Texas, this record is a massive win on the marketing front. Recruits have already taken notice of the broken record and the narrative under Sarkisian’s staff has already begun changing in terms of development.
Big W’s for Longhorns in Indy.

Four-star DL talks to Steve Sarkisian (Saturday 11:56 a.m. CST)

Sunshine State 4-star defensive lineman Myron Charles (Port Charlotte, Fla./High) has the full attention of the Texas staff. And that includes Steve Sarkisian. 
Charles, 6-4 and 290'ish, received a first phone call from Steve Sarkisian earlier this week. 
"I talked to Texas this week," Charles told OnTexasFootball Saturday. "It was the head coach, defensive line coach and some other coaches. He (Sarkisian) said that I can be a huge part of what they have going on. And I'm a priority for them."
Charles is beginning to get to know Kenny Baker more, but is waiting on a visit to get a true feel.
“I’ve talked to him two or three times. I will know more when I visit."
Texas is talking to Charles about an April unofficial visit, and a June official visit. Charles has not locked in a visit date to Texas yet. 
Florida State leads the way
Florida State is the team mentioned most with Charles' recruitment right now. And the Seminoles will get him on campus again this spring, and for an official visit. Along the Seminoles, Miami and Florida are getting a lot of mention.
"I'm planning to visit the three home state schools (this spring). And I wan to go visit Georgia, Texas, Auburn and USC."
Charles has never stepped foot on campus at Georgia, Auburn or Texas. He has visited USC before. 
Charles sports 28 offers headed into the spring. The offer list includes SEC programs Florida, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Oklahoma and South Carolina.
