Happy to be wrong on that one, fellas.
He attended Clemson/Georgia in Week 1 and he had me thinking those were his main two schools.
Texas talk starts around 10 minute mark.
Quotes from '26 S Zelus Hicks after committing to Texas (On3):
“Things moved quickly with Texas,” Hicks told On3. “They came out in the spring and offered, they came heavy after me, and after that visit, I felt great about Texas. I liked the school, I meshed with coach Blake Gideon, they just kept applying pressure like no other school and I made my decision."
“They tell me I am No. 1 on their board and they are No. 1 on my board, so it is a perfect match. Me and my dad have been talking about it and I made my decision earlier this week.”
“Texas is a top program. I want to be an impactful player that is competing for championships at a top program like Texas. They are elite with elite players. I can come in, make an impact and help the program keep winning."
“And I get to play for great coaches. Development under coach Gideon was big in my decision. He has done what I want to do before. He has been in my position, he played at Texas, so he knows what it takes."
“The relationships with the Texas coaches was a big factor too. Coach Gideon, coach Sark (Steve Sarkisian) and the whole defensive staff has gotten to know me. The environment was the other thing. My family and I like Texas a lot. My aunt lives in Texas, so it is a great place for me and my family to be.”
“I like coach Gideon a lot,” Hicks said. “It was great working with him when I was out there in June. He has a great coaching style and we just quickly meshed together. He played at Texas, he knows what it is like to be a player there and he knows what it takes to be successful."
“When I worked out with him at camp, he gave me great tips, he was always trying to help me and it was great working with him. I saw our connection and getting that coaching from him for three years, I can be a crazy athlete in the NFL.”
“It meant a lot for coach Sark to recruit me the way he did,” Hicks said. “He is a chill guy, easy to talk to and he is not one of those head coaches that is stuck up that doesn’t know his players. Coach Sark knows his guys. He has real relationships with his players and he really got to know me."
“He talked to me a lot and it meant a lot that he recruited me. Coach Sark made me feel wanted. He is a great coach with a top program and it was a great fit.”

I don't think Texas has any interest in going the JUCO route, but here's a corner getting a lot of attention.

I think the staff wants at least one more CB, but let me look at it and I'll throw some names out there tomorrow.
I know they like Gianni Edwards from North Forney, and he was on campus for the Colorado State game.
