Some notable Texas targets/commitments who have confirmed they’ll be in town for this week’s game …
2026 prospects of note
RB Derrek Cooper – Chaminade Madonna – Texas commitment – Official visit – Miami isn’t going away but this weekend should be good for the Longhorns. Cooper previews his visit here.
DT JJ Johnson – Miami Northwestern – Texas commitment – Pretty much the same story as Derrek Cooper.
DT Corey Wells – Petal (MS) – Texas commitment – This one’s interesting. Might come down to how Texas handles his brother, Chris. More on Wells’ visit here.
LB Chris Wells – Petal (MS) – See above. How aggressive will Texas be here?
CB Samari Matthews – Cornelius Hough – Texas commitment – He’s locked in with the Longhorns.
DT Dylan Berymon – Monroe (LA) Ouachita Parish – Texas commitment – Just took an Ole Miss visit last week, so worth monitoring.
LB Braylon Hodge – Cherry Creek (CO) – Michigan State commitment – Unofficial visit and he’ll return for an OV in November. I like the Longhorns’ standing here.

QB Kavian Bryant – Palestine Westwood – Texas is battling programs like Texas Tech and Florida State here.
