Texas Longhorns add defensive tackle Jason Johnson to 2027 class

The Texas Longhorns have secured a commitment from three-star defensive tackle Jason Johnson, a 6'4” prospect from Humble, Texas. Johnson, ranked as the No. 42 defensive tackle nationally, opted for Texas over Cal, Vanderbilt, and LSU. His addition bolsters a highly regarded defensive line group in the 2027 recruiting class, which already includes several four-star athletes. Texas' current recruiting class ranks sixth in the country and third in the SEC, showing significant promise ahead of National Signing Day in February.
