Texas tight end/special teams coach Jeff Traylor was placed in ESPN's early 2017 recruiter rankings.

Traylor, a former high school coach at Gilmer, is entering his second year on the Texas staff.

He's helped the Longhorns recruit three 2017 players in ESPN's top 300, which places him in the top five ranking.

"Traylor has successfully made the transition from legendary high school coach in East Texas to one of the best recruiters in the Big 12 and in the nation," ESPN's Jeremy Crabtree wrote. "Traylor did yeoman's work for Texas in the 2016 class and has gotten off to a tremendous start in the 2017 class."

Traylor is responsible for the commitments of defensive end Lagaryonn Carson, tight end Major Tennison and wide receiver Damion Miller.
