Five most important visitors expected in Austin this weekend

Texas will host a loaded visitor list this weekend to no ones surprise as the No. 1 Longhorns host the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs.

Here are five of the most important visitors expected to be in Austin this weekend.

Two of the top prospects from out east, Justus Terry and Javion Hilson, are making their way to Austin, both of which have visited Texas before. The pair are also both recent decommitments of USC and Florida State, respectively.

Texas has things rolling in a way under Steve Sarkisian that make it appear the Longhorns are once again becoming a consistent national power with year championship pursuits. The program has landed elite talents at every position on the field in recent years and the one position you could argue they could be better at is the defensive line. Terry and Hilson would provide just what they need.

There will be other blue-chip defensive lineman in attendance alongside them, but as five-star prospects, the attention they will command is warranted.

Alabama and Georgia along with Auburn and Florida State are in the mix competing with the Longhorns. It would be a tough pull, but seeing how Texas fares with Georgia could be a great way in attempting to sway him towards Texas.

With Hilson, he backed off his Florida State pledge earlier this season and the buzz was around Texas potentially being the top threat in his recruitment. He will see Texas now and again at the end of the season taking on Texas A&M in College Station.

Galveston (Texas) Ball five-star outside linebacker Jonah Williams is the second highest ranked Texas commit so his presence is significant by default. But this is also big because this will Williams’ official visit to Texas.

This visit will really be more about solidifying his commitment with the Longhorns as programs like LSU, Alabama, and some others have not let up since he pledged in August.

There is no immediate threat or belief that Williams is looking around but a good visit will simply secure his place and commitment as programs will remain in contact with the elite defender until signing day.

Just like Williams above is a do-it-all defender, San Antonio (Texas) Alamo Heights four-star is a do-it-all playmaker on offense. Playing wide receiver, tight end, running back and even taking some snaps, you can line the 6-foot-3, 215-pounder up anywhere.

Terry has a top three of Texas, Nebraska, and Oregon, and the Longhorns appear to be in the lead. With an unsure commitment date, there is a chance Sarkisian and staff could lock him up.

His presence in this class is a priority is a priority for the Longhorns so he will get plenty of attention and likely some conversations on what committing would look like.

It is no secret Fort Worth (Texas) North Crowley four-star offensive tackle John Turntine III has enjoyed his previous visits and has connections to the program. With plenty of offers at his choosing, Texas looks to be in the best spot.

Hosting him to watch a rock solid Texas offensive line take on a talent littered Georgia defensive line will be quite an appealing matchup for Turntine and others in the trenches.

It would not be a surprise to see Turntine potentially make an early commitment to Texas.
