To be sure, many highly-rated prospects from other states who receive Texas offers never make it onto campus, but it remains to be seen how much interest the 6'5, 330-pounder truly has in the Longhorns.
On Thursday, Filiaga visited the Oklahoma Sooners on his tour through the region.
The consensus four-star prospect is still considered a strong lean to the home-state Trojans. He's ranked as the No. 97 prospect, the No. 17 offensive tackle, and the No. 13 player in California, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.
