Ranked as The No. 53 player in the country, according to the 247Sports Composite, Lawrence is one of the most-coveted quarterbacks in the country, boasting 32 offers heading into his junior season.

Recruiting momentum continues to build for the Texas Longhorns with the addition of receiver Kyron Brown to the 2027 class on Tuesday, the second commitment of the day for head coach Steve Sarkisian and his staff, joining Wellington (Fla.) Palm Beach Central defensive tackle Tyler Alexander. The consensus three-star receiver from Amarillo Palo Duro saw his recruitment heat up during his junior year, reporting 24 offers, with 13 Power Four schools and four SEC schools vying for his services.
