Former Baylor signee Parrish Cobb signing with Texas unlikely

The once-promising prospect of four-star cornerback Parrish Cobb signing with Texas following his release from his Letter of Intent with Baylor now seems unlikely, at best. After reportedly having cut TCU out of consideration, making Cobb’s final recruitment a two-horse race between the Texas and Oklahoma, the latest report from 247Sports’ EJ Holland doesn’t suggest there’s much optimism left for the Longhorns.

According to Holland, “Cobb did have a meeting set with Strong and the staff this morning that he did not show up to. The staff waited for Cobb, but he left Austin early.”

Cobb was reportedly in Austin for his cousin, Texas cornerback signee Eric Cuffee’s birthday.

Following that news, it seems Oklahoma will land the La Vega product, and after reportedly failing to show up to a meeting with Texas coaches, it’s quite possible Texas quits pursuing Cobb entirely.
