Four-star edge Derion Gullette announces commitment to Texas
Texas has added a key defensive player to their 2023 recruiting class.
Four-star edge Derion Gullette announced his commitment to Texas over Ohio State and Texas A&M on Friday. After missing on Colton Vasek last week to Oklahoma and likely losing Braylan Shelby to USC on Saturday, landing Gullette is a much needed recruiting win for Steve Sarkisian’s staff.
As a junior in 2021, Gullette recorded 125 tackles, five tackles for loss, three sacks, three forced fumbles and two interceptions. The Marlin native is the No. 8 edge prospect in the nation for the 2023 recruiting class and the No. 9 overall prospect in the state of Texas, according to On3.
