John Brantley, considered the best quarterback recruit in Florida and one of the best in the nation, committed to Texas on Wednesday afternoon.
“I won’t let you down, coach,” Brantley promised Longhorn coach Mack Brown during his news conference at Trinity Catholic High School in Ocala, Fla.
His commitment is nonbinding at this point. Brantley, who is finishing up his junior year of high school, will sign a national letter of intent next February as part of the class of 2007.
Brantley’s father said that Longhorn coaches had promised that Brantley will be redshirted his freshman season. That was an appealing option for Brantley’s growth and improvement, the father said.
