Nation's No. 1 Recruit in 2027 Class Discusses Relationship With Texas

The Texas Longhorns are building a solid relationship with the No. 1 overall player in the 2027 recruiting class.

Five-star offensive tackle Kennedy Brown recently spoke with On3 and discussed the top contenders in his recruitment. Texas, Oregon, Clemson, Texas A&M, SMU, Georgia, and Penn State were each mentioned.

Brown has visited the Longhorns a handful of times thus far and mentioned player development and the coaching staff when praising Texas. "Their team is truly great,” he said. "Coach Flood is very down-to-earth. He’ll chew you out, but he gets you to where you want to be. He’s not gonna over-complicate things. Coach (Derron) Gatewood will talk to me about everything — from drills to giving advice. Coach Sark has been FaceTiming me, talking about the season, I love it."

Texas has produced 23 NFL Draft picks over the last two years, the most of any college program. That's a key component that seems to be attracting the nation's top recruits to Austin.

"They produce to the NFL and they’ve shown that,” Brown said. “Every time I see it, that attracts me more to Texas. They’ve been consistent and I like it.”
