Texas players include Quinn Ewers, Jaydon Blue, Isaiah Bond, Matthew Golden, Gunnar Helm, Kelvin Banks, Hayden Conner, Jake Majors, Cameron Williams, Vernon Broughton, Alfred Collins, Barryn Sorrell, Jahdae Barron, and Andrew Mukuba will head to Indianapolis from February 24 through March 3. Here’s the rest.

QB Jalen Milroe, Alabama 

The former Texas commit and Katy (Texas) Tompkins native flipped to Alabama after it was obvious Quinn Ewers was headed to Austin.

RB Ollie Gordon, Oklahoma State 

Texas offered late and never had any footing with the Euless (Texas) Trinity product.

RB Ja’Quinden Jackson, Texas/Utah 

The former Longhorn QB transferred to Utah after Texas asked him to play running back, which he played at Utah.

WR Bru McCoy, USC/Texas/USC/Tennessee 

Texas fans won’t forget the Spring of the Bru McCoy transfer drama. He finally landed in Knoxville and did pretty well.

WR Isaiah Neyor, Wyoming/Texas/Nebraska 

The Arlington native and Texas transfer suffered an injury in Austin and never got the opportunity to thrive on the Forty Acres.

WR Theo Wease, Oklahoma/Missouri 

Texas loved the Allen (Texas) product, but he signed with OU, then transferred to Mizzou two years later.

WR Savion Williams, TCU

Texas offered the freak East Texas athlete, but it was too little, too late.

TE Jaylin Conyers, Texas Tech

Texas liked the West Texas prospect, but didn’t push too hard.

OL Donovan Jackson, Ohio State 

Texas loved the Bellaire Episcopal (Houston) five-star, but he had Columbus on his mind.

DE Landon Jackson, LSU/Arkansas 

Texas was in the thick of this recruitment, until LSU had 14 players drafted in 2020. He transferred to Fayetteville and became All-SEC. His little brother just enrolled at Texas.

DL Princely Umanmielen, Florida/Ole Miss 

The Horns were in on the Central Texas D-lineman, but ultimately chose UF.

LB Nick Martin, Oklahoma State

Texas hosted the ETX prospect multiple times, but an offer never came through. So he set records in Stillwater.

DB Billy Bowman Jr, Oklahoma 

Another former Texas commit that flipped to OU before his senior year.

DB Kitan Crawford, Texas/Nevada

After four seasons in Austin, the Tyler (Texas) native followed Jeff Choate to Nevada.

DB Jabbar Muhammad, Oklahoma State/Oregon 

Texas pursued the former All-Big 12 defensive back at OSU, but he ultimately ended up in Oregon.

DB Lathan Ransom, Ohio State 

Texas loved the Arizona-raised safety, but he inked with Ohio State.
