Meet the Longhorns: Texas dipped out of state for tight end Brayden Liebrock
Posted December 19th, 2018
Brayden Liebrock, offensive tackle, Chandler (Ariz.)
FYI: 6-5/220; 4 stars; No. 5-ranked tight end
Fabulous 55 ranking: N/A
Committed: May 8
Scouting report: Liebrock helped Chandler High School to another Class 6A state title game and he might be the most complete and well-rounded tight end to sign with Texas since Tom Herman took charge before the completion of the 2017 recruiting class.
Liebrock is a big-bodied tight end with great length to grow into a three-down player. He’s light and will need to add weight and strength before he can take on defensive ends and linebackers in the running game, but he’s already 220 and could easily reach 240 by the time his freshman year begins. Liebrock is an excellent pass catcher and route-runner.
He’s a mismatch nightmare for defenses because of his height. He’s too athletic for linebackers and safeties, and too big for cornerbacks. That makes him a threat on third downs and in the red zone. Liebrock also understands how to use his body and length to shield off defenders.
He finished his senior season with 65 receptions for 784 yards and 11 touchdowns.
