While the Texas Longhornsweren't at the top of his recruiting list, the Longhorns still managed to pull off a visit from 2026 five-star interior offensive lineman Lamar Brown. Edge coach LaAllan Clark recently visited Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to check in on Lamar Brown, a five-star offensive tackle from University Lab who is widely regarded as one of the top prospects in the 2026 recruiting class.
Brown, who some analysts believe could also play defensive line at the collegiate level, responded to the visit by teasing a potential trip to Austin this summer. “Might have to take a trip to Austin,” Brown wrote Thursday evening on social media, hinting at growing interest in the Longhorns program.
Brown, currently projected to land with in-state LSU according to 247Sports’ Zach Blostein, is ranked as the No. 1 interior lineman and the top player from Louisiana in the 2026 class. He is also rated as the nation’s No. 15 overall player in the 247Sports Composite. In addition to his football premiere status, Brown is a standout in track and field, having claimed a Louisiana state championship in the shot put.
The 6-foot-4, 285-pound Brown has already scheduled four official visits for the summer: Miami on May 30, Florida State on June 6, Texas A&M on June 13, and LSU on June 20.. With his recent social media post, Texas could soon join that list of destinations.
Brown’s versatility has made him a coveted recruit. “Legitimate high-level two-way prospect as an interior O-lineman or potentially role-versatile front-line defender,” wrote 247Sports analyst Gabe Brooks. “Projected for many months to IOL as a physical, athletic difference maker who could potentially provide across-the-front O-line versatility in college. However, indicates desire to play defense, which obviously must be considered in evaluation”
Brown is expected to announce his college decision on July 10, giving any new contenders, including Texas, a narrow window to make their case. With the Longhorns looking to bolster their 2026 class, securing an official visit from Brown could be a significant step in the high-stakes recruitment of one of the nation’s elite prospects.
