It’s been a good week for Oscar Giles.

The Texas defensive line coach landed one of his biggest targets in Vernon Broughton on Wednesday evening, and followed it up Thursday when Van Fillinger announced his commitment to Texas. The three-star defensive end from Draper (Utah) Corner Canyon chose Texas over offers from Michigan, LSU, Oregon, UCLA, Utah, USC, Nebraska, Ohio State and Washington.

Fillinger visited Austin twice over the summer for unofficial visits, and Texas won him over while he was on campus. Fillinger connected well with Giles on the visits, and the staff had a link to him as one of his high school coaches played for Texas defensive coordinator Todd Orlando while at Utah State.

Fillinger put up impressive testing numbers during The Opening regional camp in Las Vegas (Nv.) where he recorded a 4.25 shuttle and a 32-inch vertical at 250 pounds.

At 6-foot-3.5, 250 pounds, Fillinger is ranked as the No. 18 strong-side defensive end in the nation and No. 3 overall prospect in Utah, according to 247Sports Composite.

The 2020 class is currently at ten commits as Fillinger joins Lake Travis quarterback Hudson Card, Bishop Dunne ATH Jaden Hullaby, Highland Park linebacker Prince Dorbah, Cy Ridge defensive lineman Vernon Broughton, Prosper offensive lineman Jake Majors, San Antonio O'Connor offensive lineman Logan Parr, Port Neches-Groves offensive lineman Jaylen Garth, John Tyler cornerback Kitan Crawford and Duncanville ATH Ja'Quinden Jackson.

Texas has been focused on adding front-seven talent defensively over the last few cycles. In 2018, the Longhorns landed Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy linebacker Ayodele Adeoye, Spring Westfield defensive tackle Keondre Coburn, Conroe Oak Ridge defensive end Joseph Ossai, Katy defensive tackle Moro Ojomo, Fort Worth Eastern Hills linebacker Byron Vaughns and Independence (Mo.) William Chisman defensive end Daniel Carson.

Texas continued to add depth to the front line in 2019 with the additions of Westlake Village (Calif.) Westlake linebacker De'Gabriel Floyd, Katy Cinco Ranch linebacker David Gbenda, Many (La.) defensive end Myron Warren, El Dorado (Ks.) Butler C.C. defensive end Jacoby Jones, Orlando (Fla.) Jones linebacker Marcus Tillman, Hunstville defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat, Richmond George Ranch defensive end Peter Mpagi, Fullerton (Calif.) Fullerton College linebacker Caleb Johnson and El Dorado (Ks.) Butler C.C. inside linebacker Juwan Mitchell.

The Longhorns are heavily in the mix to add more talent to the front-seven in the 2020 class. Texas is chasing Columbia (Mo.) Rock Bridge defensive end Jalen Logan-Redding, Bastrop Cedar Creek defensive end Alfred Collins, Manor defensive end Princely Umanmielen, Cy Creek linebacker Josh White and Athens (Ga.) Athens Academy linebacker Len'Neth Whitehead.
