Three-star IOL Jackson Christian commits to Texas over Texas A&M

Kyle Flood and the Texas Longhorns have another big human along the offensive line with the Monday commitment of Port Neches-Groves interior offensive lineman Jackson Christian.

The 6’5, 309-pounder opted against waiting for his official visit process to play out, pledging to the Longhorns more than five weeks before Texas is set to host him on the Forty Acres. Christian chose head coach Steve Sarkisian’s program despite having official visits set to Texas A&M and Texas Tech and offers from seven other schools, including Houston, SMU, and UTSA.

Christian picked up his offer from the Longhorns last summer after an in-person evaluation by Flood at a Texas summer camp in June and made return visits for last September’s win over Kansas, the January Junior Day this year, and two spring trips to Austin.

A consensus three-star prospect, Christian is ranked as the No. 494 player nationally and the No. 30 interior offensive lineman, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. The big offensive lineman helped Port Neches-Groves win the Class 5A-Division II state championship in 2023.

Christian is the first offensive lineman to commit to the Longhorns in the 2025 recruiting class and the seventh prospect overall in a group that now ranks No. 22 nationally.
