Junior Tu’upo has announced a commitment to Texas. He chose the Longhorns over Alabama, Auburn, Indiana and Oregon.
Tu’upo attends Thompson High School in Alabaster, Alabama, and he is a member of the 2027 recruiting class. The rising senior is considered to be a four-star prospect. His decision leaves the Alabama Crimson Tide with 12 2027 commitments and a commitment from one 2027 defensive back in Darrius White.
Each of Tu’upo’s finalists hosted him for an official visit. Alabama was the last program to host the talented safety prospect.
