Texas scores a major recruiting victory with a four-star athlete.
Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian has the Longhorns hot on the recruiting road, and they recently secured another huge victory.
Nick Townsend, a four-star athlete, is not just one of the most fascinating prospects in the 2025 class; he also signals a significant recruiting success.
Townsend’s offers include LSU, USC, Alabama, and Texas A&M.
Townsend is a pure athlete, standing 6 feet 3 and weighing 225 pounds. In fact, 247Sports ranks him as the No. 3 athlete in the 2025 class, citing his versatility to play tight end, linebacker, or perhaps EDGE at the next level. He will come to Texas as a tight end, and the Longhorns intend to play him there, but that has not stopped linebackers coach Johnny Nansen from showing interest in him.
Townsend has roughly 40 offers and a list of finalists that includes blueblood colleges, but the atmosphere that Sarkisian has developed at Texas appears to have won the big-time prospect over.
Texas fans have cause to be enthusiastic about Townsend and Sarkisian’s 2025 class.
