2026 Birmingham (Ala.) Parker defensive lineman Vodney Cleveland included Texas in his top six, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett. The Longhorns were joined by Georgia, Florida, Miami (Fla.), North Carolina, and Auburn. Cleveland was previously committed to Alabama.

Texas offered last April, and Kenny Baker visited Cleveland in Birmingham in January.

The 6-foot-2.5, 305-pound Cleveland is ranked as the No. 89 overall prospect, the No. 7 defensive lineman, and the No. 6 player in Alabama in the On3 Industry Ranking. On3 ranks Cleveland as the No. 163 overall prospect, the No. 14 defensive lineman, and the No. 10 player in Alabama.

The Longhorns also made the top schools list for Clearwater (Fla.) OL Samuel Roseborough, per Fawcett. Texas was part of Roseborough’s top 10 along with Florida, Georgia, Ohio State, LSU, Florida State, Michigan, Texas A&M, Alabama, and Penn State.

The 6-foot-5 offensive tackle was offered by Texas in December during a visit. Roseborough is ranked as the No. 106 overall prospect, the No. 9 offensive tackle, and the No. 16 player in Florida in the On3 Industry Ranking.

On3 ranks Roseborough as the No. 43 overall prospect, the No. 9 offensive tackle, and the No. 7 player in Florida.
