Raulerson hooks ‘em with commitment to UT
BY Chris O’Dell, codell@acnpapers.com
One thing Celina junior Jake Raulerson won’t have to worry about next season is choosing where to attend college after his senior year.
The Bobcat made a commitment to the University of Texas on Friday after Longhorns head coach Mack Brown made Raulerson an early scholarship offer to join the burnt orange nation.
National signing day might be just a few days old at this point, but the Longhorns have already snagged one of the state’s top junior prospects with Raulerson’s commitment.
A tackle on Celina’s offensive line and a nose guard on defense this past year, Raulerson will likely make a position change after joining the Longhorns. The 6-foot-5, 250-pound lineman was recruited by Texas to play the defensive end position and also play tight end for the Longhorns.
Although the Longhorns won’t host their junior day until Feb. 12, Brown went ahead and made an offer to Raulerson after the Celina standout dominated multiple Texas recruits at a recent Texas junior camp.
Raulerson had 26 other offers from some of the top football programs in the college landscape.
The Bobcat bypassed offers from Michigan, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Arkansas, Florida and defending national champion Alabama, among other schools.
More details on Raulerson’s commitment to the Longhorns can be read in the Feb. 10 issue of the Celina Record.
