Yesterday, Texas landed a commitment from Florida State linebacker Justin Cryer and today they add Biles as they continue their efforts to strengthen the middle of the defense under the newly acquired defensive coordinator Will Muschamp. Texas also hosted Cal linebacker Cade Ulvade for a visit, but it remains to be seen if they will be able to win out in that recruitment as he continues to take visits.
