Texas has lost a piece to the puzzle.

Dominick Wood-Anderson, the nation’s top junior college tight end, backed out of his verbal pledge to the Longhorns on Monday evening.

Wood-Anderson announced his decision via Twitter.

Wood-Anderson made a surprise commitment to Texas in the summer over heavy favorite Alabama but continued to maintain contact with other programs.

Texas now has 18 commits in its 2018 class.
