Jaime Ffrench Commits to Texas: A Significant Boost for Longhorns
Jaime Ffrench: A Game-Changing Commitment
The Texas Longhorns are quickly becoming a magnet for elite wide receivers with a second five-star wide receiver joining the bunch on Friday morning — this time Jaime Ffrench out of Florida, who committed to the Longhorns in a commitment aired on the 247Sports YouTube channel over the LSU Tigers, Miami Hurricanes, and Tennessee Volunteers.
“It is about family there,” Ffrench told On3. “It is very family-oriented at Texas and they did a great job connecting with my family even more than they did with me. That meant a lot and it showed me a lot. My bond with the staff, the commits like Kaliq Lockett and KJ Lacey are different from any other.
Understanding Ffrench's High-Caliber Performance
- Jaime Ffrench is one of the most-coveted wideouts in the nation, ranking No. 4 at the position and No. 19 overall according to the 247Sports composite.
- After a productive sophomore year, the 6'1”, 185-pound wideout exploded onto the scene as a junior with more than 1,200 yards and 14 touchdowns in a state runner-up season.
- He’s a two-sport competitor, as a member of the track team for Mandarin High School in Jacksonville, FL.
- The consensus five-star prospect was active attending camps and taking unofficial visits.
Texas's Recruitment Strategy
When Texas hired Chris Jackson, this was seemingly the result that the staff hoped with his addition. Hiring a seasoned NFL coach and putting three wide receivers in last year’s NFL Draft has paid dividends. Ffrench opted to reopen his recruitment after Nick Saban's retirement, leading to Texas extending an offer.
According to Ffrench, Texas surged into the lead during the summer and maintained it heading into his announcement. The addition of Ffrench gives Texas three consensus five-star recruits, behind only Alabama and Ohio State.
Ffrench's Skill Set
- Possesses very quick feet and suddenness in his release from the line of scrimmage.
- His routes display deception, consistently generating separation.
- Shows outstanding hands, catching the ball away from his body.
- Excellent tracking ability enables him to make difficult catches.
- Very elusive with the football, proving to be a major threat after the catch.
Jaime Ffrench is poised for future success and is part of a burgeoning class at Texas, with broader implications for the Longhorns program.
