Texas makes statement with 4-star LB
The Texas Longhorns pursuit of Seffner (Fla.) Armwood linebacker Kellen Wiley continues to pick up steam.
Wiley and his parents made an official visit to Texas over the weekend. And according to a source close to the recruitment, the Longhorns hit a home run.
Wiley, 6-3.5 and 226-pounds, was very impressed with the plan the staff illustrated for him according to the source. That plan covered on-field development under Johnny Nansen, strength & conditioning with Torre Becton and the nutrition side. All-encompassing player development.
The family was also very impressed with the academic aspect and the feeling they got from the university overall.
The source said Texas has at least a 50-50 shot to win out for Wiley, with the understanding the Miami OV remains scheduled for November 23-24.
