WATCH: Texas signees, targets at All-American Bowl practice
Several Texas signees and one primary recruiting target are participating in the All-American Bowl practices this week.
The all-star game is scheduled to take place on Saturday, Jan. 7 at 12 p.m. CT on NBC from the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. It is one of the most watched high school sporting events.
Texas’ 2023 recruiting class currently ranks No. 3 in the country behind Alabama and Georgia. The Longhorns are hoping to add to the class on Saturday when four-star athlete Jelani McDonald is scheduled to announce his commitment live from the All-American Bowl.
Other Texas signees are showcasing why they’re rated some of the top recruits in the country for the 2023 cycle. Here’s a look at each Texas signee and target participating in the All-American Bowl practices this week.
