Texas Secures Jason Crenshaw Jr. as Second Linebacker Flip for 2027 Class
Addressing a thin linebacker depth chart, the move signals a late recruiting push led by defensive coordinator Will Muschamp.
Overview
- Jason Crenshaw Jr. flipped his commitment from Georgia Tech to Texas on Thursday, becoming the second previously committed linebacker this week to join the Longhorns after RJ Hudson switched earlier.
- Crenshaw is a three-star 2027 prospect listed around 6-foot-2 and 220–222 pounds with Rivals rankings placing him near No. 894 overall and No. 73 among linebackers.
- Texas extended an offer from DC Will Muschamp in late summer and Crenshaw made an official visit on Oct. 24, a trip he said strengthened Texas' standing in his recruitment.
- The addition matters because Texas entered the cycle with no linebackers in the 2027 class and limited depth behind senior starters Rasheem Biles and Justin Cryer, making immediate reinforcement at the position a priority.
- Crenshaw arrives with strong senior production for Prattville High School (56 tackles, 19 tackles for loss and eight sacks through nine games) and his flip could affect playing-depth plans and further late recruiting momentum for Texas' top-10 class.
