Update from IT on 2026 guys
Inside Texas delivers the latest from last weekend’s official visitors and where the 2026 class sits weeks from NSD in Monday’s Scoop.
Richard Anderson, DL, New Orleans (La.) Edna Karr – LSU commit
Catching up with sources, it appears the Longhorns shot their shot with the five-star LSU pledge. Anderson enjoyed the trip, interacting with coaches and staff, and seeing the game atmosphere.
I’m told Anderson is likely waiting to see who LSU hires as its new head coach before making any decisions. With National Signing Day looming, this recruitment is one to monitor closely.
Brysten Martinez, OT, Gonzalez (La.) East Ascension – LSU commit
Martinez and his mother thoroughly enjoyed their Austin trip, sources tell IT.
But this is a complicated recruitment in that there are different factors on and off the field. His proximity to Baton Rouge isn’t as his important as proximity to his family. I’m told if Martinez did flip, there’s a good chance some of his family might move to Austin too.
Right now, its LSU or Texas. And the Horns continue to recruit and evaluate the Uber athletic four-star OT.
Kaden Scherer, OT, Georgetown (Texas) – Stanford commit
I like Texas’ chances of flipping the Cen-Tex three-star. He told Inside Texas we could see a decision over the next few days.
Rocky Cummings, LB, Carlsbad (Calif.) – Cal commit
I love the chances of flipping the Cal three-star LB commit. We expect a decision on Wednesday for the West coast senior riser. He’d be an excellent floor joining Tyler Atkinson and Kosi Okpala.
Josiah Vilmael, DB, Richmond (Texas) Fort Bend Travis
Texas really likes the Fort Bend product, who took his official visit to UT this weekend, but we believe they want to see Toray Davis before waving anyone in.
Toray Davis, CB, Boulder (Colo.) Fairview – UCLA commit
Davis rescheduled his official visit to Austin for this weekend for the Texas A&M game. We can see Texas taking one of Davis or Vilmael.
