With at least 16 official visits set to take place over the next three weekends, Horns247 gives you a brief synopsis of each committed and uncommitted prospect who will be making their way to Austin starting this weekend.

LSU commit Nick Brossette is one of five prospects committed elsewhere who are set to officially visit Texas in January.

Jan. 16 Visitors

RB, Kirk Johnson (San Jose, Calif./Valley Christian) — Committed to Texas

Listed as an athlete, Johnson (6-0, 205) will likely play running back at Texas, comparing himself to Marshawn Lynch of the Seattle Seahawks.

DE, Louis Brown (Burton) — Committed to Texas

Also listed as an athlete, Brown (6-5, 215) plays a variety of positions at Burton, but will fit in as a defensive end for the Longhorns.

OL, Patrick Vahe (Euless Trinity) — Committed to Texas

Vahe (6-3, 300), committed to the Longhorns for nearly 18 months, was set to delay his official visit to Texas as of earlier this week. However, the visit will now carry on and Vahe will be in Austin this weekend.

DB, DeShon Elliott (Rockwall-Heath) — Committed to Texas

Elliott (6-1, 200) has hesitated in his commitment to the Longhorns multiple times, but most recently has been solid and worked hard on the recruitment of others such as Nick Brossette.

CB, Holton Hill (Houston Lamar)

A long and rangy cornerback, Hill (6’2, 185) has the Longhorns as his leader and would be expected to contribute early in his career.

CB, Kris Boyd (Gilmer)

A naturally gifted athlete that was an offensive star for Gilmer, Boyd (6-0, 180) almost committed to Texas on Christmas day and will now take most of, if not all of his official visits.

RB, Nick Brossette (Baton Rouge, La./University Lab) — Committed to LSU

A long time LSU commit, Brossette (6-0, 207) has flirted with the Longhorns throughout his recruitment and will give the Longhorns one last look before making his final decision.

Jan. 23 Visitors

LB, Cameron Townsend (Ridge Point) — Committed to Texas

A long time Texas lean, Townsend (6-0, 195) committed to Texas in October.

QB, Matthew Merrick (Irving Cistercian) — Committed to Texas

Committed as a grey shirt, Merrick could potentially receive a traditional scholarship offer and be a full member of the 2015 class if the numbers work.

LB, Breckyn Hager (Westlake) — Committed to Texas

At one time Hager (6-4, 220) was set to follow in his brother’s footsteps and play at Baylor, but decided to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a Longhorn.

RB, Tristian Houston — Committed to Texas

Houston (5-11, 195) waited diligently for his Texas offer after calling the Longhorns his favorite early in the process. He chose the Longhorns over offers from Arkansas, LSU, Mississippi State and others.

ATH, Kai Locksley (Baltimore, Md./Gilman) — Committed Florida State

Locksley (6-3, 188) is a high caliber athlete who will get a shot to play quarterback at the college level. He chose FSU over the Longhorns initially, but wants to give Texas one last look.

CB, Deandre Baker (Miami, Fla./Northwestern) — Committed to Georgia

Of the prospects in Florida, Baker (5-10, 173) has held his offer from Texas the longest, but it will be a tough road to switch his commitment from the Bulldogs.

CB, Mark Fields (Cornelius, N.C./Hough)

A close relationship with Texas assistant coach Chris Rumph has lead to Fields (5-11, 190) having the Longhorns in his top two along with Clemson and taking a visit to Austin.

Jan. 30 Visitors

OL, Ronnie Major (Huntsville) — Committed to Texas

A one-time Baylor commit, Major (6-6, 290) is a former basketball player with a high upside that is beginning to be realized.

DB, Sheldrick Redwine (Miami, Fla./Killian) — Committed to Louisville

Redwine (6-1, 183) named the Longhorns as one of his top schools before committed to the Cardinals on Jan. 3. He received an offer from Texas in October.

OL, Drew Richmond (Memphis, Tenn./University) — Committed to Ole Miss

Richmond (6-5, 310) would become an instant contributor for the Longhorns if signed, but as of now the scheduled official visit is up in the air.
