Austin, Texas – The Texas Longhorns are emerging as a strong contender to recruit Lamar Brown, a highly-coveted five-star offensive lineman in the 2026 class. Brown recently announced plans for an official visit to Texas scheduled for June 6, which is a significant indication of his interest in joining the Longhorns.
Brown is rated as a five-star prospect by 247Sports Composite and holds the title of the No. 1 interior lineman in his class, as well as being the top-ranked player from Louisiana. He has also garnered attention nationally, ranking as the 15th best overall player in the country according to 247Sports.
Currently a student-athlete at University Lab, Brown has demonstrated his versatility not only in football but also in track and field, where he is a Louisiana state champion in shot put. His athletic prowess has garnered interest from numerous top-tier college programs, as he has received a total of 33 scholarship offers nationwide.
Alongside Texas, Brown has official visits lined up with other prestigious programs, including Miami on May 30, Texas A&M on June 13, and LSU on June 20. Notably, Brown replaced an earlier planned visit with Florida State on June 6 in favor of the Longhorns. His commitment date to a college program is set for July 4, 2024.
Amid Brown’s recruitment, LSU is currently viewed as the frontrunner to secure his commitment, as indicated by the crystal ball predictions from 247Sports. However, the Texas Longhorns have gained notable traction in Brown’s recruitment following Coach Clark’s visit to University Lab earlier this spring.
As of now, Texas holds the No. 12 spot in the national recruiting class rankings for the 2026 cycle, as reported by On3. Among prospects, Brown is recognized as the No. 8 player overall and is also classified as the No. 1 athlete within the same rankings. There is some discrepancy across recruiting services regarding Brown’s positional classification, with On3 listing him as an athlete, while 247Sports categorizes him as a defensive lineman, and Rivals considers him as an offensive line prospect.
The Texas Longhorns’ strategic focus on securing top-tier recruits like Lamar Brown highlights their commitment to reinforcing their football program for the future. With his imminent visits and a commitment period approaching, the recruitment of Brown will not only impact the Longhorns but also establish competitive dynamics among other elite football programs vying for his talents.
