Jeff Banks has wasted little getting Heinrich and family to Austin. The 6-foot-3, 230-pounder told Inside Texas on Friday morning that he will make an unofficial visit to Texas April 15 for the Longhorns’ spring game.
The visit will be one of several for the fast rising South Florida prospect. Heinrich is also scheduled to make unofficial visits to Alabama this weekend, Auburn on March 17, and Florida on April 6 with more being scheduled.
Heinrich went from a prospect without an offer to 33 since October 29, 2022. UCF made the first offer. He has since been offered by over half the SEC programs. SEC offers are Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Tennessee, Florida, Missouri, Arkansas, Auburn, Texas A&M and Ole Miss. Stanford is the most recent offer.
