A top California offensive lineman, Lincoln Mageo, visits Austin March 28, potentially fortifying Texas's 2027 recruiting class.
Texas football’s 2027 recruiting board continues to take shape, and a major name is officially headed to Austin this spring.
Lincoln Mageo, one of the top offensive line prospects in California, has scheduled an unofficial visit to the Forty Acres for March 28.
For Steve Sarkisian and his staff, landing Mageo on campus is a significant step as the Longhorns look to build momentum in the 2027 recruiting cycle.
Mageo, an Oceanside standout, is regarded as one of the premier interior offensive linemen in his class. According to 247Sports, he ranks as the No. 29 interior offensive lineman nationally and the No. 37 overall prospect in California.
His physical style of play and technique in the trenches have drawn national attention, including an invitation to compete in the prestigious Polynesian Bowl. This showcase regularly features elite talent bound for Power Five programs.
Texas is far from alone in pursuing Mageo. His offer sheet includes Arizona, Arizona State, California, Colorado, Kansas State, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Stanford.
With more than a year before signing day, that list could easily expand. Offensive linemen with his size, footwork, and upside rarely stay under the radar for long.
Still, getting Mageo to campus is a win for Sarkisian.
The Longhorns have already secured several early commitments in the 2027 class, including four-star wide receiver Easton Royal, edge rusher Cameron Hall, tight end JT Geraci, quarterback Ty Knutson, and linebacker Cade Haug.
Adding a high-level interior lineman like Mageo would bring needed balance to a class that is already stacking offensive firepower.
And the momentum may not stop there. Texas is also heavily involved with several dynamic skill-position players, including running back Caden Waye and wide receivers Nick Lennear, Kesean Bowman, and Quentin Hale.
Pairing Royal with another explosive playmaker - while solidifying protection up front - would give the Longhorns the foundation for a dangerous future offense.
The March visit allows Sarkisian and offensive line coach Kyle Flood to showcase development, culture, and the SEC platform Texas now offers.
For Mageo, it’s a chance to see firsthand what life in Austin looks like.
Recruiting battles are rarely won in March, but impressions matter. And when Lincoln Mageo steps onto campus, Texas football will be ready to make its pitch.
