There were several projections last week that the Texas Longhorns would land a handful of 2028 recruits. This week sees more of the same, according to Sam Spiegelman of Rivals. Spiegelman has logged a prediction for Texas to land four-star wide receiver Damarion Mays out of North Crowley High School in Fort Worth, Texas.
He’s the No. 84 overall player, the No. 10 wide receiver, and the No. 9 prospect in the state of Texas per Rivals industry rankings. “Based on recent conversations with sources informed on this recruitment, my intel points to Texas as the team to beat at this stage. I’ve gone forward and logged a Rivals RPM prediction for the Longhorns to eventually come out on top in this race,” said Spiegelman. Mays was on campus last weekend when Texas upset then No.
1 Ohio State in a 24-23 thriller. It helped the Longhorns immensely in their efforts to land the 6-foot-3, 205-pounder. “Texas is definitely one of my top contenders,” Mays told Rivals on Saturday.
“After this visit, they took a big step forward for me. I really like the coaching staff, the team, and the environment, and I can see myself fitting in really well there.”
