Texas Longhorns make cut for second cornerback in the country


Domani Jackson released his list of the top 10 schools today, including the Texas Longhorns among the finalists.

He is ranked No. 2 cornerback, No. 2 player in California, and No. 12 overall prospect in the 2022 class by 247Sports.

Jackson included the Longhorns along with USC, LSU, Arizona State, Michigan, Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, Oklahoma, and Georgia. It also has offers from Arizona, Arkansas, BYU, Cal, Colorado, Colorado State, Duke, Florida, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Kansas State, Liberty, Louisiana, Maryland, Miami, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oregon, Oregon State, San Diego State, San Jose State, South Carolina, Tennessee, UCLA, Utah, Virginia Tech, Washington and Wisconsin.

Watching his movie: The scariest part of Jackson’s game is how natural he already looks as a defense behind, considering he started his career as a catcher. At 6 foot 1 and 185 pounds, he was already one of the most physical players on the talented, rich Southern California soccer scene last year as a sophomore and should be even better with another year of physical development and mental. You can play up close and personal and collide and run with catchers or fall into a coverage area depending on what you are asked to do on a given play. It is also more than capable of stepping up and aiding in the running game or running through a block outside to turn off a wide receiver screen.

Where Texas Is Located: The Longhorns have made significant moves in the Southern California recruiting area in recent months, and cornerback coach Jay Valai is quickly establishing his name as one of the best young recruiters in the country. Reaching the top 10 in this recruitment is a clear victory, especially considering that it should allow for prolonged contact at Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana.
