Texas lands commitment from four-star ATH Aeryn Hampton
The Longhorns continued their strong start to July on the recruiting trail as they were able to land yet another commitment.
After landing four commitments in the early part of July, the Longhorns learned on Friday that they beat out Alabama for four-star wide receiver Aeryn Hampton. The Daingerfield, Texas product was actually committed to Texas back in February of 2022, but backed off his pledge in November.

Hampton ranks as the No. 23 athlete in the nation and No. 47 overall prospect in Texas, according to 247Sports. With the addition of Hampton, the Longhorns’ class now ranks as the No. 18 class in the country.
In an interview with 247Sports he revealed that Texas is recruiting him for both sides of the ball.
“The relationship I have with coach Gideon, coach Sark and coach Jackson,” he said. “I like playing DB, but they are recruiting me both ways.”
Whether he ends up as a receiver or defensive back in the long run is TBD, but he does mark another huge win for Texas on the recruiting trail.
