The Texas Longhorns are hitting on all cylinders on the recruiting trail.

A day after On3 4-star tight end Emaree Winston committed to Texas, the Longhorns have struck again in the 2025 cycle.

This time it’s on the defensive side of the ball.

He made a number of unofficial visits during the season, including Tennessee, Miami and Florida. 

The Space Coast elite prospect was dominant on the field as a junior for Eau Gallie. He posted 65 tackles 24 tackles for loss and four sacks in 12 games. In three years on varsity, Brown has recorded 155 tackles, 48 tackles for loss and 14.5 sacks.
