Texas added their 5th member of the 2017 class this evening as Lake Dallas (TX) CB Kobe Boyce committed to the Longhorns. We’ve been high on Boyce for awhile and he’s seen his stock soar recently as schools like Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Baylor, and Mississippi State offer in the last week and Texas is his most recent offer as they offered Boyce yesterday during his Texas visit. Boyce told us early in the process that he would likely commit early if the right offer came.

In recent conversations with Boyce, the word that kept coming up when he talked about Texas was the word comfort. He feels at home in Austin and told us that he had a great time getting to know the Texas players and coaches on Saturday. He said a conversation with LB Malik Jefferson was one that stood out and how Jefferson said all the players at Texas are like one big brotherhood.

Boyce has a very nice combination of length and speed and that’s a main reason he’s seen so many more big offers roll in lately. The main thing Boyce need is some bulk, it’s not to notice that when you see him but that’s something he will gain over time. This is a really nice get for the Longhorns in an underrated CB in a year where there aren’t many top notch guys that the position.
