Instant Analysis - Texas lands talented New Orleans DL
Cliffs notes: Holy Cross (New Orleans, Louisiana) defensive end Barryn Sorrell became the 19th member of the 2021 Texas recruiting class when he announced his commitment to the Longhorns.
Key Offers: Arizona State, Baylor, Louisville, Missouri, Northwestern, and Purdue are among Sorrell’s offers.
Evaluation: A one-time commitment to Northwestern, Sorrell is known for his standout motor and big guys with physical gifts who already play really hard always have a chance at making a future impact. Listed at 6-4, 263 pounds and listed as a strongside defensive end, Northwestern envisioned Sorrell growing into a force at defensive tackle. When Pat Fitzgerald dips into the South, I usually pay close attention because of his evaluation skills. Sorrell shows some athleticism, and really uses his hands and upper body strength well. At times, Holy Cross used him as a standup rush end, and moved him around the defensive line.
Why it matters: Adding big guys is never a bad thing, and the Longhorns dipped into one of the best areas in the country to find talent.
