Four-star defensive lineman Hunter Osborne of Trusville (Ala.) Hewitt-Trusville has made four trips to Tennessee, including an official visit on June 24. Yet the Volunteers are no longer the favorite in his recruitment, according to On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine.

Following an expert prediction from On3’s Gerry Hamilton, Texas currently has the highest chance to land Osborne at 73.7 percent. Osborne traveled to Austin for an official visit on June 17.

The Longhorns are followed by Tennessee (6.2 percent), Alabama (3.6 percent) and Clemson (3.0 percent) in the RPM. The Tigers got Osborne on campus for an official visit on June 3. He has also visited the Crimson Tide four times unofficially.

Osborne is the No. 108 overall prospect and No. 12 defensive lineman in the 2023 On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is deciding between a top six of Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, LSU, Tennessee and Texas.

If Osborne chooses the Longhorns, he will be the program’s third four-star defensive line commit, joining Dylan Spencer and Sydir Mitchell. Texas currently has the No. 3 class in the 2023 Consensus Football Team Recruiting Rankings. The group’s highest-ranked prospect is No. 1 overall recruit and Five-Star Plus+ quarterback Arch Manning of New Orleans (La.) Isidore Newman.

Hunter Osborne On3 Scouting Summary

The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Hunter Osborne:

“Powerful, edge-setting defensive end who could grow into an interior defensive lineman down the line. Measured at over 6-foot-3, 250 pounds prior to his senior season. Has good length for the position with a 6-foot-8.5 wing-span. Plays defensive end for one of the better talent-producing high school programs in Alabama. A naturally strong athlete who wins with power. Takes on and sheds blocks to make plays in the backfield. Shows the ability to beat double teams with a straight-line power rush. Totaled 10 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks as a junior. More of a power rusher and run defender than a speed pass rusher at this time. Can improve his first-step quickness and pass rush technique. Current skill set and body type point to his highest upside being as a 3-4 defensive end or potentially an interior defensive lineman, pending his ultimate size.”
