2025 Recruiting - Football

OTF reporting DE offer Damien Shanklin of Indianapolis, IN will take an official visit to Texas on June 21st.

Shanklin said he and one of his coaches would like to get to Austin earlier for an unofficial in the spring.

"When they first offered me, it surprised me," Shanklin told OnTexasFootball Sunday. "I have had an interest in Texas for a while watching the defensive tackles and defensive ends."

"I talk to Coach Pete (Kwiatkowski) a lot. He’s telling me about my film, and how much he likes it. The way he was telling me how he coaches is what I like too. He tells me about developing players when I first get there, the environment on the team and the program."

"He came to school in January. He was telling me about the facilities, the school and the history. And the base defense, and stuff. We talked for about an hour."

“He (Sark) was just checking in on me. He was telling that my film was good, and I’m great player. And that he can’t wait to get me down there.”

When was the last time Texas went to Indiana for a DE, let alone anybody?
 

Not sure this solves anything as you can see the February signing period is almost ignored as everyone's class is wrapped up in December. Wish they would fix the portal fiasco and limit the transfers with sit out a year. This could possibly be waived with a head coaching change but it has to stop. Also limit the number of times a player can get a do over year. 6-7 years is ridiculous.
