Video Notes: "DL Jason Johnson Commits To Texas! Longhorns Hot Streak Continues!" Host: Thomas Bresee (TexasVOCFB) Length: ~9:33 Topic: 3-star DL Jason Johnson commitment to Texas (9th commitment of June) Player Profile: 6'4, 280 lbs, Ascita High School (Umble, Texas), 6A ball

Texas lands a high-upside, long defensive lineman in Jason Johnson, who beat out strong interest from Mississippi State, LSU, Florida, Cal, and Vanderbilt. Bresee highlights Johnson's strength at the point of attack, run-game dominance, solid first step, and anchoring ability. He projects as an interior DL who could add weight (to 305-315) and develop into a versatile pass rusher with NFL potential, drawing comparisons to Byron Murphy and Alfred Collins. This is viewed as a "buy-low" high-ceiling addition that fits Kenny Baker's defensive line vision and builds foundational depth for the class. The episode also teases upcoming commitments like Brandon Sherard (July 1) and Ishmail Kamar (potentially soon/biggest of the cycle).

0:00 - 0:29 – Intro & Commitment Announcement

• Welcome and immediate announcement: Jason Johnson, 3-star DL from Ascita HS, commits to Texas.
• Size: 6'4, 280 lbs, very long frame.
• Beat out: Mississippi State, LSU, Florida, Cal, Vanderbilt.

0:29 - 1:50 – Player Evaluation & Strengths

• High-level interest from top defensive coordinators (Tosh Lupo at LSU, Cal at Florida) validates the talent.
• Elite at point of attack: Strong first punch, snaps OL backward, hard to move.
• Run-game nightmare: Resets the line, generates TFLs or minimal gains.
• Good first step for 280 lbs; uses hands well, slip moves into backfield.
• Aggressive bull rush; potential to develop more pass-rush moves.
• Comparison: Could evolve into a Byron Murphy / Alfred Collins type (versatility inside/out in HS).

1:50 - 3:27 – Projection, Development & High School Context

• Current projection: Interior DL; likely adds to 305-315 lbs in college.
• Excellent anchor and counter ability when losing initial battles (low pad level, knee drop like Murphy).
• Plays big-time 6A Texas football — helps with speed of game and facing talent.
• Surprised he's still rated 3-star; high ceiling player.

3:27 - 5:44 – Class Context & Long-Term Outlook

• Fits perfectly with Kasi Curry already committed; missed out on Marcus Fakatau (to Ohio State).
• "Perfect buy-low prospect" with NFL ceiling.
• Needs weight and refined pass-rush moves but has special potential.
• Likely redshirt freshman year; impact expected in 2028-2029.
• Important foundational piece for depth, especially in the portal era.

5:44 - 9:33 – Next Commitments & Recruiting Outlook

• Brandon Sherard (DB): Expected July 1; Texas leading, strong visit, helps elite secondary with Montrey Jackson, Junior Tuo, John Meredith.
• Ishmail Kamar: Biggest potential commitment of cycle (Kelvin Banks-level talent, immediate impact); timeline uncertain but Texas gaining on Oregon; academics/early graduation factor.
• Landon Williams Callus (RB): Mentioned as future target with family ties.
• Texas on a hot streak; more commitments likely in July; all-in on recruiting for an "all-in" season.

• "Really long defensive lineman... constantly snapping offensive linemen back on his highlight tape with his first punch."
• "A real nightmare in the run game... does a great job of resetting the offensive line in his favor."
• "I think this could be a pretty special player and someone that turns into a massive success story."
• "If I had to pick one lower star player in this class to hit, probably pick Jason Johnson."
• On Kamar: "This is a special special player at a position that you badly need... Kelvin Banks level player."
