Cliffs notes: A big recruiting weekend for Texas began with a bang when William Chrisman Senior (Independence, Missouri) defensive end Daniel Carson announced his commitment to Texas. Carson is the 22nd member of the 2018 recruiting class.

Rankings: Rivals.com rates Carson as a three-star prospect (5.7 Rivals Rating), the No. 25 strongside defensive end, and the No. 8 player in Missouri.
Key Offers: Carson recently took official visits to Miami and Nebraska. He also holds offers from Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas State, Louisville, Kentucky, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Ohio State, TCU, Missouri and more.
Evaluation: What stands out most about Carson is his size – 6-5, 270 pounds. The future Longhorn uses his length to his advantage, and wins often at the point-of-attack because of his combination of size, length and strength (finished 7th in the state in the shotput). He’s not going to blow anyone away with his speed off the edge or quick-twitch athleticism, although he does flash some surprising quickness when chasing down plays and is a basketball player. I love big guys that play basketball. Coaches can’t teach that kind of size, strength, length combo and a motor to make plays.
With his size currently and the way it looks his frame could fill out, he seems like a candidate to perhaps play interior spots also.
Why it matters: Carson becomes the second defensive linemen in the 2018 Texas recruiting class. We all know how much Texas needs some big guys on that side of the ball, and perhaps Carson is the first of a few commitments in that area.
Enjoy:
