The Texas Longhorns extended an offer Tuesday night to one of the top prospects in the Houston area that is about to blow up.

Texas defensive line coach Bo Davis made the call to the Spring (Texas) High fast riser to offer.

The 6-foot-1.25, 293-pound 14-6A First-team all-district selection grew up a fan of the Longhorns. And the offer will serve as motivation moving forward.

“It’s like a dream come true being I have been a fan watching them as a kid,” Guidry told On. “And just to see it all go full circle is very motivating and means a lot for me.”

The quick first and second step ball get off, ability to collapse the pocket from the interior and playmaking are the reasons Texas offered.

“He (Bo Davis) said he likes my explosiveness, driving towards the ball, pass rush, and ability to make the big play.”

All those qualities are why Texas Tech and Pittsburgh have already offered as well. And programs such as Northwestern, Baylor, Houston, Ole Miss and others are showing interest.

Guidry recorded 47 tackles, 26 tackles for loss and six sacks in 11 games in 2023. He posted 10 tackles and three tackles for loss in a playoff loss to The Woodlands. The junior was productive in both wins and losses for the Lions. Guidry recorded 26 tackles, 14 tackles for loss and four sacks in defeat in 2023.

He’s currently the No. 532 ranked prospect in the On3 Industry Ranking.
