A host of recruits were on the Forty Acres for Saturday\u2019s Junior Day, with the staff extending a notable offer to Smithson Valley quarterback Ty Knutson.<\/p>\n
The offer comes after months of evaluation by the Longhorns, including co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach AJ Milwee watching Knutson in action during his high school football season.<\/p>\n
With Louisiana product Peyton Houston committing to the home-state Tigers and Palestine standout Kavian Bryant siding with Texas Tech in early November, Texas didn\u2019t have any outstanding offers to uncommitted 2027 quarterbacks, increasing the importance of Knutson\u2019s evaluation.<\/p>\n
Other offers for the 6\u20193, 202-pounder include Houston, Oklahoma State, TCU, Texas A&M, and Texas Tech, as well as North Texas, Tulane, UTSA, UTEP, and UTRGV. Some of those offers aren\u2019t committable now, decreasing the legitimate competition in a tough cycle for quarterback recruiting after inking top-10 prospect Dia Bell, the potential successor to Arch Manning.<\/p>\n
Knutson is a consensus three-star prospect ranked as the No. 720 player overall and the No. 50 quarterback, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A host of recruits were on the Forty Acres for Saturday\u2019s Junior Day, with the staff extending a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":685786,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[7,49,48,1079,10951],"class_list":{"0":"post-685785","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-ncaa","10":"tag-ncaa-football","11":"tag-texas-longhorns-football","12":"tag-texas-longhorns-football-recruiting"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115914230200126255","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685785","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=685785"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685785\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/685786"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=685785"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=685785"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=685785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
