Locke was a late flip in 2015, but his junior day visit established his relationship with the Texas staff. UPDATE: Quickly after this story was published, PJ Locke tweeted, "I didn't switch to anybody." His tweet was deleted shortly after he posted, however. Locke is set to announce his college choice Wednesday at 9 a.m. at Beaumont Central Senior High School. Horns247 stands behind its story that Locke has flipped to Texas.

ORIGINAL: Texas’ defensive class just added a little depth with three-star safety PJ Locke flipping his pledge from the Ducks to the Longhorns on Tuesday, according to sources close to the situation.

Locke, who had been committed to Oregon since July, was offered by Texas on Feb. 1, and the school’s interest in him seemed to have a very quick impact.

Locke, who was a Longhorn fan growing up, jumped on Texas’ offer just two days later.

The five-foot-10, 189-pound Beaumont product is rated as the No. 38 safety nationally for 2015 and the No. 78 player in the state, according to the 247Sports Composite.

With Locke, the Longhorns now have five defensive backs for their 2015 class and 26 commitments, counting Matthew Merrick as a greyshirt.
