Cliffs notes: Do you like surprises? Sometimes, the wait is worth it, and for Texas fans that was the case when Dominick Wood-Anderson, a JUCO tight end from Arizona Western Community College, committed to Texas. He's the 15th member of the 2018 class, and he'll have three years to play two at Texas.



Rankings: Wood-Anderson is rated as a four-star prospect.

Key offers: Alabama, Auburn, Louisville, Oregon, TCU, Tennessee, Arizona, and Arizona State are among the schools that have extended an offer.

Evaluation: Immediate impact.

Is Wood-Anderson a perfect prospect? No, but you're not going to find many tight end prospects in the 2018 class better equipped to immediate step in and make an impact. He has size (6-6, 255 pounds), strength, agility, speed, and ball skills; he's a complete, well-rounded prospect that can be seen splitting out wide to make plays vertically or on the line handling his job as a blocker.

Why it matters: Texas needs an impact tight end. Suddenly, the position is looking up in the future with a solid freshmen group already on campus and now Wood-Anderson in the mix for next season. This isn't just a body to provide depth at the position; instead, this is a guy that profiles as a starter right away. Plus, Texas beat Alabama, and the Tide, per sources, were confident he was heading to Tuscaloosa.
