AUSTIN - The Texas Longhorns got some bad news on Thursday, with four-star Clear Lake (Houston, TX) receiver Hunter Modden reportedly no longer part of the 2024 class.

"Since 2013 my dream was to play college football," Modden said when he committed. "Throughout the last 10 years my mother, Eric Minyard, Joseph Granville, and my grandmother kept me motivated and strong. You all have been my anchor. You all have been there for me through the most difficult times. You all have helped me grow and become a better man mentally, physically, and spiritually. I will forever be grateful, and the lessons you all have taught me will help guide me in the future. With that being said I will be committing to the University of Texas."

Modden was originally the Longhorns' third commitment of the 2024 class, and the first offensive commitment, joining Daingerfield (TX) cornerback Aeryn Hampton and Aledo (TX) corner Jaden Allen - both of whom have also sense de-committed.

Luckily for the Horns, the commitment of Freddie DuBose Jr. - another four star pass catcher - will lessen the blow from Moddon’s exit.

However, as one of the most talented players in the state of Texas, it will still sting.
