Texas Lands 4-Star DT Kasi Currie in 2027 Class, Topping Georgia, Ohio State, Oregon

Four-star defensive tackle Kasi Currie has committed to the Texas Longhorns, choosing Austin over the Georgia Bulldogs, Ohio State Buckeyes, and Oregon Ducks in the 2027 recruiting cycle. ^[1][5] Currie made his announcement Thursday on the CBS Sports College Football YouTube channel. ^[8]

Currie is listed at No. 52 in the SC Next 300 for the 2027 class and is considered one of the top-three defensive tackle prospects in that cycle. ^[2] He also carries a No. 6 ranking among defensive linemen in his class. ^[8]

Familiar Faces in Austin

Currie's commitment to Texas reunites him with a former high school teammate. The California product plans to join defensive lineman Richard Wesley, who previously played alongside Currie before arriving at Texas, on the Forty Acres. ^[8]

The addition continues what has been a strong June on the recruiting trail for Texas. ^[5] The Longhorns are also monitoring 4-star edge rusher JaBarrius Garror, who is set to announce his college decision on Friday morning, meaning Texas could potentially add back-to-back commitments. ^[4]

For Ohio State, the loss of Currie represents another setback in a difficult month of recruiting. ^[3] Oregon, meanwhile, will now look elsewhere to address its needs at defensive line after Currie's decision to head to Austin. ^[6]

Currie's commitment gives the Longhorns a significant piece up front in their growing 2027 class, reinforcing Texas's standing as a national recruiting player under head coach Steve Sarkisian. ^[1][5]
