The Longhorns have picked up commitment number thirteen from Brenham’s Ahmard Howard. The 6’4″ tight end prospect and his parents were in Austin and he gave Mack Brown his verbal pledge on Monday. Howard has spent the last two weeks telling pretty much everyone he’d commit as soon as he got a chance to sit down with Coach Brown and the rest of the coaching staff so this one’s not a surprise.
Howard is one of the state’s top tight ends and has excellent size and speed to go along with an impressive list of scholarship offers. Howard chose Texas over Arizona, Kansas, K-State, Nebraska, and Oklahoma State. Another good addition to an excellent 2007 recruiting class.
Texas’ thirteen man class is below…
| Name | Pos | Rating* | Hometown |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curtis Brown | WR | **** | Gilmer, TX |
| Russell Carter | DE | **** | Houston, TX |
| Jerrod Gooch | OL | *** | Vidor, TX |
| Kyle Hix | OL | **** | Aledo, TX |
| Ahmard Howard | TE | *** | Brenham, TX |
| Michael Huey | OL | *** | Kilgore, TX |
| Andre Jones | DT | **** | El Paso, TX |
| Aundre McGaskey | OL | **** | La Marque, TX |
| Matt Nader | OL | **** | Austin, TX |
| Keenan Robinson | LB | **** | Plano, TX |
| Earl Thomas | ATH | **** | Orange, TX |
| Ben Wells | DB | *** | Beaumont, TX |
| Foswhitt Whittaker | RB | *** | Pearland, TX |
*Note: The star ratings are just my best guesses based on the little bit of video I’ve seen of the recruits and Orangebloods.com’s Lone Star Top 100.
