Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian secured a major recruitment win of four-star EDGE prospect JaBarrius Garror in the 2027 recruiting class. The Mobile, Alabama, native chose Texas over finalists Georgia, Auburn, and Florida State.
The Vigor high school product is ranked 107th nationally, 12th in his position, and third in his state, per Rivals Industry Rankings. But ESPN rates the four-star defensive star 49th nationally.
Garror, who sizes up at 6-foot-3 and 225 lbs, wrote:
“Hook ‘EM 🤘🏾😌,” while announcing his commitment to Texas.
Previously, Garros visited Austin and named his four finalists after decommitting from Alabama earlier this year.
“You can’t go wrong with Texas,” Garror said after his official visit. “Great coaches, great place.”
On3’s Charlie Williams reported the following remarks after his official visit to Texas:
“The message from Texas was simple: they want him in Austin. The Longhorns also laid out a vision for how they see Garror fitting into the defense. During conversations with the staff, Texas discussed a role similar to the one currently occupied by Colin Simmons, giving Garror a clear picture of how they would utilize his skill set at the next level.”
With Vigor since 2023, the EDGE prospect has racked up 222 career tackles along with 92.5 TFLs, 45.5 sacks, seven passes defended, six forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery. Last year, he amassed 106 tackles, 32.5 TFL, 21.0 sacks, two passes defended, a fumble recovery, and a forced fumble.
Garror will now join Derwin Fields and Cam Hall as EDGE commits in the Longhorns’ 2027 class.
