2026 TE Keawe Browne Provides Update On His Recruitment originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The Texas Longhorns are no longer the favorite to land three-star tight end Keawe Browne.

Browne announced via social media on Sunday that he is moving on from the Longhorns. At one point, Texas was the favorite to land Browne and Inside Texas reports that a silent commitment was even involved behind the scenes.

“I appreciate the staff at Texas for offering me and bringing my family on an official visit this summer,” Browne’s post began. “However, with recent changes in my recruitment and further interest from other universities, my family and those close to me believe it is in my best interest to re-open my recruiting. I will be moving on from the University of Texas.”

The Centennial High product (Corona, CA) is ranked the No. 55 tight end in the nation and No. 92 overall prospect in California for the 2026 recruiting class, according to 247Sports.

Texas currently owns the No. 6 overall recruiting class in the nation for the 2026 cycle with 21 verbal commitments. However, the Longhorns do not have a tight end in the class yet and many of the top tight ends in the class have already committed elsewhere.

Steve Sarkisian and his staff will need to go back to the drawing board.
