I am very well aware of the Buechele family's strong ties to OU in several sports for both women and men. His brother especially was an excellent player on the OU baseball team.
Shane Buechele.was in the 2016 class,
With OU getting Kyler Murray a transfer from aTm in 2016, and getting freshman 4 star Kendall In the 2016 class and having Baker Mayfield a Jr. in 2016 and getting a walk-on Conner McGuiness who has a lot of talent (I saw him play in high school) I did not think OU offered but I do think Buechele seeing the OU QB depth, he decided to look elsewhere as did former OU QB Charles Thompson whose youngest son also signed with Texas.
Bull they did offer.
As he continued to elevate his stature in Texas high school football circles, Buechele began garnering interest from a number of high-major programs.
Kentucky was the first to extend Buechele a scholarship offer in March of his sophomore year, and other programs such as
TCU and
Texas Tech followed suit in the coming months. One early offer, from
Oklahoma, carried more weight than the others. Buechele’s brother, Garrett, was on the Sooners’ baseball team, and his two sisters attend the school. Yet Buechele, who plans to also play baseball at Texas, said the Longhorns grabbed his attention because “I was never a Texas fan growing up.” After attending a camp at the school the summer before his junior season, Buechele says he knew that if the Longhorns were to offer him, they would be heavily considered as his college destination.
