Twitter reacts to Derion Gullette’s commitment to Texas
Texas remains hot on the recruiting trail. The Longhorns have added one of the state of Texas’ top defenders to its 2023 class.
Four-star EDGE Derion Gullette announced his commitment to Texas on Friday afternoon. Gullette chose the Horns over the likes of Texas A&M and Ohio State.
247Sports composite ranks Gullette as the No. 18 EDGE and the No. 148 overall prospect in the 2023 cycle.
The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Gullette can do it all on the football field. As a linebacker he picked up 125 tackles, five tackles for loss, three sacks and five turnovers forced. He was just as dynamic on offense where he hauled in 62 passes for 1,430 yards and 14 scores as a wide receiver.
He excels as a three-sport athlete as he competes in both basketball and track outside of football.
Gullette’s commitment has sparked tons of engagements on social media. Here is a look at some of Twitter’s best reactions to Texas’ newest member of the 2023 class.

Like this for #Texas. High upside guy with some position versatility. Good fit for Pete Kwiatkowski. Should have some fun moving Gullette around and finding ways to deploy him as a pass rusher. https://t.co/eoWRARoMGz

This is a great grab. Early off ball linebacker that will grow into edge. Great athlete. https://t.co/g6CARa0Vao

Massive win for Texas. Gullette is the No. 18 edge rusher and No. 137 overall player in the On3 consensus. https://t.co/nh6ad1Jxc1

HUGE pickup for Texas.
Whether he stays at LB or bulks down to edge/DE, Texas needs both.
Welcome DG! https://t.co/EUdXQeuZlT
