Mike Farrell and Adam Gorney are in agreement on this one ...
Farrell’s take: FACT. The Longhorns just landed two key defensive backs in JD Coffey
and Ishmael Ibraheem and Tom Herman has does a good job addressing the defense in the last couple of classes, better than any other team in defense-weak Big 12. Players like Coffey and Ibraheem along with DE Ja’Tavion Sanders and likely defensive back Billy Bowman lead a strong defensive class for Texas coming off last year where DT Vernon Broughton and DB Xavion Alford led the way has the Longhorns in good defensive shape moving forward.
Gorney’s take: FACT. There is no question Texas is doing the best job and there’s really no excuse for the Longhorns’ defense not to be dominant in the coming years. Texas has seven four-stars so far in this class - by far more than any other team in the conference - and five of them come on the defensive side of the ball. Over the past few recruiting cycles, the Longhorns have loaded up on defense and many players have had an impact. Getting Coffey and Ibraheem earlier this week were more steps in the right direction.
