Texas is looking to bring in one of East Texas' most talented athletes.

The Longhorns put an offer on the table for John Tyler signal-caller Bryson Smith as a slot receiver on Tuesday night.

Smith committed to Houston under Tom Herman in May. He picked the Cougars over offers from New Mexico, Purdue, SMU and others.

At 6-foot, 170 pounds, Smith is ranked as the No. 20 dual-threat quarterback in the country and No. 132 overall prospect in the state, according to 247Sports Composite.
