Stanford edge prospect David Bailey began his visit to Texas yesterday. That visit concludes later today.
Bailey already visited Texas Tech earlier this week. Among a host of other suitors, UCLA may also get an official visit.
As we’ve mentioned previously, Texas views Bailey as an elite player.
After all, he was the best player on the Stanford team in 2024. He recorded seven sacks even though opposing teams knew he was really the Cardinal’s only defensive threat much of the season.
Tech has been aggressive this cycle when it comes to NIL, so the Red Raiders are seen as a true threat. But the hope is that the higher profile and long-term success of Texas, along with competitive NIL, could be a difference maker for the Horns.
Sark and GM Brandon Harris are showing they will continue to look for any way to improve the team, even when a position appears as loaded as Texas is at edge.
I’ve been told more than once this off-season that Sark views every year as an opportunity to win a championship. Pushing the chips to the middle and going after Bailey is an example of just that IMO.
