  1. Quick notes on O. Mathis and M. Williams

    By: @JoeCook and Eric

    Inside Texas caught up with a source close to the recruitment of TCU transfer defensive end Ochaun Mathis. The source said Clemson and Alabama issued offers to the two-time All-Big 12 edge defender in addition to his interest from Texas.

    Though those are formidable recruiting opponents for Steve Sarkisian, the same source said if former Horned Frog head coach Gary Patterson assumes a role within the Longhorn football program it would place Texas as the clear front-runner for Mathis’ services for the 2022 season.

    By now you should know where IT stands on Patterson and Texas and therefore on Mathis and Texas.

    IT also caught up with a source in the know on Mario Williams. The OU transfer wide receiver has been on a Texas official visit the last two days. USC came into the visit as the heavy leader but IT heard UT has made up ground. How much is yet unknown.

    Confidence in UT’s chances did increase throughout the visit with the baseball coaches doing their part today.

    IT also checked to see if there were any unknown suitors in contention. This is important because the Tampa native would prefer being closer to home, all things being equal. From what we here this is still a Texas / USC recruiting battle. He’s already accustomed to traveling from this region to Florida. That helps.

    In short, it was a productive visit but we haven’t heard anything definitive about where Williams will end up or just how significant UT’s movement was. Did they go to 30% chance? 50%? More? The good thing about where we are on the portal recruiting calendar is we’ll find out soon enough.
