On Monday night Texas grabbed another 2014 commitment as offensive lineman Alex Anderson (New Orleans, La./O. Perry Walker) has decided to become a Longhorn.

Sources close to Anderson told Horns247 over the weekend that Anderson actually committed silently to the coaches during his official visit to Austin. He apparently wanted to wait until the first of this week to make it public.

Anderson is the 22nd commitment in the Longhorns' 2014 recruiting class. He's the second offensive line take joining Jasper U.S. Army All-American center Terrell Cuney.

The 6-foot-3, 300-pound guard had been committed to Arizona State since July. He decided to take an official visit to Texas this past Thursday and stayed through Saturday.

He then took one last trip to Arizona State via an official visit to check out the Sun Devils. At the end of the day his trip to the 40 Acres was just too much to overcome.

“I had a great visit,” Anderson said. “Texas is a very nice place and I like the coaches there a lot. They gave me a lot to think after.”

Texas’ interest in Anderson didn’t pick up until earlier this month when offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Joe Wickline decided to offer the three-star prospect after recruiting him while he was at Oklahoma State.

Anderson wasn’t sure if he would have enough time to learn about Texas. After Wickline offered on Jan. 13 and then convinced him to visit, that thought process went out the window.

Anderson also held offers from Missouri, Arkansas, Miami, Ole Miss, Texas Tech, Kentucky, Mississippi State and more.
