Texas Longhorns land 2 in-state bluechip commitments in 6-minute span

Wide receiver Ryan Niblett and running back Tre Wisner both committed to Texas on Saturday

The annual Texas Longhorns spring game proved to be an immediate hit with recruits Saturday, as Steve Sarkisian's program picked up two major in-state commitments.

And both came fewer than seven minutes apart. 

First, Texas landed recent DeSoto High School transfer and four-star running back Tre Wisner, the nation's No. 12 running back. 

The 5-foot-11, 180-pound ball-carrier's tweet was timestamped at 7:50 p.m. (PT):

Wisner chose the Longhorns over offers from Auburn, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas A&M, USC and others. 

Just six minutes later (7:56 p.m. PT), lighting-fast prospect Ryan Niblett, the nation's No. 7 wide receiver, shared his commitment on social media as well:

The 5-foot-10, 170-pound football/track and field star, out of Aldine Eisenhower High School (Houston, Texas), had offers from Alabama, LSU, Michigan State, Penn State, Tennessee, Texas A&M, USC and others. 

With Wisner and Niblett in the fold, the 2023 recruiting class consists of five pledges, as the duo joins Seguin High School (Texas) four-star safety Jamel Johnson, C.E. King High School four-star defensive end Dylan Spencer and North Crowley High School three-star linebacker S'Maje Burrell.
