Fresh Faces On The Forty: Freshman EDGE Brinley Tita
Spring practice in Austin has come to an end and the roster construction just finished. Brinley Tita is the final addition to the recruiting class.
Spring practice in Austin came to an end yesterday and the roster construction went down to the wire. Three additions to the 2026 roster were made yesterday, one of which is a new high school recruit. Brinley Tita is a three-star EDGE prospect out of Summer Creek High School in Humble, Texas.
The late addition comes with an interesting story and clear athletic upside. 2025 Stats: 94 tackles, 22 TFLs, 11 sacks, 3 FFs, 1 FR in 14 games The 6-2, 225lbs pass rusher held a few offers from Division II and III schools but decided to sign with Cisco Junior College. The plan, like many that go to JUCO to start college, was to play there and hopefully earn an offer to a Division I school next year.
Well, LaAllan Clark and Steve Sarkisian expedited that process and he’ll join the Longhorns in the summer. @BrinleyTita welcome to the Brotherhood!! Let’s get to work !!

He played on the interior of the defensive line more than as a pass rusher, where he likely fits going forward. The district champion shot putter brings elite explosiveness to the table that is intriguing if given the time to develop.
