“It feels unbelievable,” Tennison said. “Coach (Jeff) Traylor came by to the school earlier in the day then he told me that I had an offer. I talked to my parents about it, and they were really supportive of me picking Texas, so I committed. It’s hard to pass up UT.”

Tennison committed to Texas over offers from Oklahoma State, SMU and Texas Tech. He made an unofficial visit to Texas for the Longhorns’ victory over Rice and was at the Red River Showdown on Saturday.

A three-star prospect, Tennison is considered one of the nation’s top tight ends in the 2017 class. While more offers were likely on the way, Tennison always knew he wanted to play at Texas.

“I grew up a big Texas fan,” Tennison said. “Even when I was a little kid and didn’t know how to use a remote, I would tell my dad to put the television on the Texas game. I’ve always loved the program, and it feels amazing to be a part of it now.”

Tennison also said the Texas coaching staff — specifically Traylor and head coach Charlie Strong — played a big role in his decision.

“Coach Traylor used to coach at Gilmer, so I’m really familiar with him,” Tennison said. “He’s a freaking genius. I’m really excited to play for him. Coach Strong is an excellent coach. He cares about his players and what happens to them after football.”

At 6-foot-4, 245 pounds, Tennison is ranked as the No. 16 tight end in the 2017 class and No. 75 overall prospect in the state, according to 247Sports Composite.

Tennison is the third member of Texas’ 2017 class. He joins Austin Westlake quarterback Sam Ehlinger and John Tyler wide receiver Damion Miller.
