Bo Mascoe Commits to Texas After Austin Visit

The transfer reunites him with position coach Mark Orphey at a position Texas needs to fortify.

Overview

  • The former Rutgers cornerback pledged to the Longhorns on Tuesday during a recruiting trip to Austin.
  • Texas is pursuing starting-caliber help at cornerback after Manny Muhammad declared for the 2026 NFL Draft and Jaylon Guilbeau exhausted his eligibility.
  • Mascoe will be reunited with Mark Orphey, his former Rutgers cornerbacks coach who is now on staff at Texas.
  • He enters as the No. 91 overall player and No. 4 cornerback in the 247Sports transfer portal rankings.
