Jalen Brewster, the No. 1 defensive lineman in the 2027 class according to On3, is on campus in Austin today visiting the Texas Longhorns. The Cedar Hill (Texas) standout is already one of the most coveted prospects in the country early in his recruitment.

The Longhorns are in a quality spot for the On3 Industry Ranking five-star thanks to the efforts of defensive line coach Kenny Baker.

“Coach Baker… I can tell he’s a real dude. He wants to get down to it—find out if you really love football and where your heart and mind is at. But I love that,” Brewster said in May.

On3’s director of scouting and rankings Charles Power offered these thoughts on Brewster in a story from May.

Scout’s Take: “Jalen Brewster is an elite athlete at 6-foot-3 and 300 pounds. He can really run. He’s had some fantastic showings on the camp circuit this spring. You can see the high-end movement skills and play-speed show up on Friday nights. His movement skills stack up really well with prior five-star defensive linemen and you see him make plays all over the field. He lines up as a standup pass-rusher, gets carries on offense even, so there’s a lot to like about Brewster. A ton of athleticism and movement skills, in addition to having ready-made size right now.”
