Cliffs notes: It’s been a while since the Longhorns received some good recruiting news, but it arrived today in the form of their 18th commitment for the 2021 class. Shadow Creek (Pearland) linebacker Terrence Cooks delivered the good news when he announced his commitment to Texas.
Rankings:
Cooks is rated as the state’s No. 71 prospect according to the LSR 100.
Key Offers: Alabama, Auburn, Baylor, Michigan State, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Oregon, LSU, Stanford, Tennessee, and Texas A&M are among the schools that have offered Cooks.
Evaluation: Back in late February, Cooks was named the MVP for his position at the Houston Rivals Camp, and his speed and athleticism were a big reason why. That performance didn’t come long after he helped Shadow Creek to a perfect 16-0 record and 5A D-1 state title.
Cooks makes a lot of plays all over the field thanks to his excellent motor, and his extremely impressive speed for a linebacker. You won’t find many linebackers with multiple highlights chasing down ball carriers from the other side of the field.
Physically, Cooks is a solid 6-3, 208 pounds and carries it very well with a little bit of length at the position too. Because of his size, athleticism, and speed, he can line up all over the field at the linebacker spot, can drop in coverage, come off the edge, and play in run support near the line of scrimmage. The newest Texas commitment is a well-rounded linebacker who should fit Chris Ash’s defense ideally.
Why it matters: This gives Texas another talented linebacker big on athleticism, and the Longhorns beat some big-name programs for his services.
Enjoy:
