I know shit about fuck but I actually like Walker. I'm glad he's not RB1 in this class but I think he can be a good player 

Maybe his offensive line is included in the offer?

Where is the twitch?  He runs in straight lines into or through people.  That won't work with big fat humans on the line.

Could be a good inside the 5 type running back to cure our redzone/goal line woes.  Big strong battering ram type back we have lacked for many years, or at least since Roschon Johnson...we can use him as lead FB in certain situations.

If you went to bed early on Thursday night, you missed some recruiting fireworks.

Coming out of staff recruiting meetings held on Thursday, the Longhorns decided to offer three new high school recruits:

TE Charlie Jilek of Portage, Mich. (previously committed to Minnesota)

RB Jett Walker of Georgetown (committed to Minnesota)

OL Kaden Scherer (committed to Stanford)

Jilek committed to Texas last night. He, along with Walker and Scherer, are slated to visit the Longhorns on the weekend of the Arkansas game.

While the offers may look sudden, they actually are not. The Texas personnel staff has been evaluating players across the country for months.

Texas also recently offered Josiah Vilmael, a corner from Fort Bend Travis, who will also visit the Longhorns next Saturday.

As Texas closes out this class, it’s clear that the Horns are relying on their own evaluations over that of the recruiting industry star-ranking system.

It’s also evident that this recruiting class could easily push into the mid-to-high 20s in total.

**

Are these new offers a sign of possible heavy attrition this off-season from the existing roster?

Possibly. But not necessarily. These offers fill existing needs within the recruiting class.

The Texas recruiting class did not have a tight end commitment until Jilek pledged last night.

The RB unit has been hit by attrition during the season. Jerrick Gibson has elected to transfer and Ricky Stewart is no longer with the team.

And the OL was long on the lookout for an additional 1 or 2 signees.

**

Take a look at Jilek’s video. There’s a lot to like.

He’s an all-state performer in football and an all-conference player in basketball. At 6-5, 230 pounds, he’s a sneaky good prospect.

I’m in Athens this morning. Headed to the campus and the football stadium this morning to walk around.

As a reminder, I’ll be at Botica in Buckhead this afternoon with the Atlanta Texas Exes who are hosting a happy hour for all Longhorns coming to the game.

Please come out and join us if you’re available.

Hook’Em!

An early Flipmas gift!

Texas has flipped 2026 Portage Central (MN) tight end Charlie Jilek from Minnesota!

A quiet process behind the scenes comes to light as the Longhorns steal away a future B1G tight end to add to their 2026 class.

Jilek had been committed to Minnesota since October 1st. The 6-foot-5-inch tight end holds offers from UCF, Minnesota, and nine others. 

Texas has a loaded room at the tight end position and is expecting a departure of Spencer Shannon following his senior season. Jilek will continue the numbers game at the position and provide a developmental piece for Jeff Banks and Jason McEndoo.

I like it.  Kid is already 6'2" 215lb. if the services are to believed and could easily add 10-15.

Except that Cam is probably 5'10, at best, and has an advantage because he's literally reckless, as well as plays with extraordinary balance and leverage. 

This would be like another tall, power back.
