"National Signing Day for the 2016 class is more than four months in the past, but that didn’t stop Texas from making a big addition to its haul in June.
Four-star Sachse wide receiver
Devin Duvernay committed to Longhorns on Wednesday instead of attending Baylor, where he committed to sign during the recruiting cycle,
according to ESPN's Gerry Hamilton. Duvernay will enroll at Texas' for the school's second summer session, per Hamilton.
A 5-foot-11, 195-pound speedster, Duvernay is Texas’ fourth wide receiver signee in the 2016 class joining
Collin Johnson,
Reggie Hemphill-Mapps and
Davion Curtis. Duvernay visited Texas and TCU while pondering his decision.
Duvernay initially signed with Baylor, but he asked out of his National Letter of Intent following the sexual assault scandal that rocked the school. Many Bears asked out of their LOIs in the same timeframe, but they are not allowed to visit or contact other schools until their appeals to be released from their LOIs are ruled on by the NCAA. However,
an error committed by Baylor in filing Duvernay’s LOI – it was never submitted to the NCAA – allowed the wide out to sign anywhere.
Rated as the No. 4 overall wide receiver and the No. 36 player nationally in the 2016 class per the 247Sports Composite, Duvernay can be an immediate-impact player for Texas. Duvernay will line up in the slot, providing Sterlin Gilbert’s new offensive system a burner at the position.
Duvernay’s twin brother, Donovan, also signed with Baylor. However, he has not yet been released from his letter of intent. It is expected Donovan will join Devin at Texas if/when the release is granted."
. With all that's going on, do they really want that bad PR as well as having to explain to the NCAA why they aren't releasing these kids. They keep thinking they have a good relationship that will smooth things over, when they should be worried about people going to jail.
