2027 five-star WR Easton Royal commits to Texas

After losing the program’s only 2027 commitment earlier this month, the Texas Longhorns jumpstarted the upcoming cycle with a massive Saturday pledge from New Orleans (La.) Brother Martin wide receiver Easton Royal.

Texas officially entered Royal’s recruitment back in May by extending an offer to the consensus five-star prospect and began trending earlier this month when the Louisiana product told Rivals that he could see himself playing on the Forty Acres.

Royal holds 30 total offers, including Arkansas, Auburn, Baylor, Colorado, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Miami, Michigan, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and others.

Considered one of the top players in the country, Royal is ranked as the No. 12 player nationally and the No. 3 wide receiver, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. On3 slots the 5’11, 185-pounder as the top receiver in the 2027 class.

As a sophomore, Royal ran a 10.38 100-meter, so he fits the preferred speed profile of Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian, in addition to flashing impressive ball skills for his size.
