Texas picked up a pledge from the possible heir to left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. on Sunday when five-star recruit Brandon Baker — the No. 1 offensive tackle prospect in the country — announced his commitment to the Longhorns. Baker, a 6-foot-5, 290-pound lineman from Ontario, Calif., picked Texas over Ohio State, Florida State, Oregon and Nebraska. Baker plays for high school power Mater Dei in Southern California; Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian, who also comes from the Los Angeles area and is a former head coach at USC, has long recruited that region.
