Cliff-notes: Texas picked up its 21st commitment for the 2019 recruiting class on Monday afternoon, as Many, Louisiana defensive end Myron Warren committed to the Longhorns just days after taking an unofficial visit to Austin for the Iowa State game.
Rankings: The 6-4, 230-pound Warren is currently rated a mid three-star prospect, the nation's No.62 rated strong-side defensive end and the No.24 prospect in the state of Louisiana by Rivals.com.
Key Offers: Arkansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Oregon, TCU and
Evaluation: Few players in the state of Louisiana in the 2019 class have seen their recruiting stock rise as quickly as Warren has over the last few months, as he's skyrocketed from the land of the un-ranked to the state of Louisiana's No.24 prospect in the most recent Rivals recruiting updates. The first thing you notice about Warren right from the jump is the athletic frame that he brings to the table for someone like Yancy McNight to work with. At 6-4, 230 pounds, Warren is one of these kids that plays basketball half the year and hasn't even truly started to tap into his upside as an athlete. He's going to need a few years to fully develop before he's likely a starting-level player, but Warren is quick twitch athlete that can get off the ball as anyone that would be available in the state of Texas and he flashes sideline to sideline skills as a player.
Why it matters: It's no secret that the 2019 commitments and the Texas program as a whole can use as many high-upside defensive line prospects as the Texas coaches can get its hands on. Like fellow Texas commits T'Vondre Sweat and Peter Mpagi, there's a lot of raw material to work with here in an athlete like Warren and it's possible that Warren has as much pure upside as any defensive line prospect in the Texas class. Perhaps it'll take a couple of years to get there, but Tom Herman and his staff have earned some benefit of the doubt when it comes to player evaluation. Oh, and Gary Patterson wanted him as well, and that always should tell you something if we're talking about someone who is flying under the radar.
