Texas head coach Tom Herman confirmed Monday that he and his staff are recruiting former LSU quarterback Brandon Harris to Austin.

It was reported last week that Harris would be visiting North Carolina, Texas, and Arizona as potential transfer schools.

Harris announced last month that he would be transferring from LSU after he graduates in May. He will be able to play immediately at another school as a graduate transfer.

I sincerely hope he gets BH and makes him a good QB.

Man could you imagine the backlash if he gets Brandon and turns him into a badass QB.

I'm definitely rooting for that to happen

Well, good luck with that. In an offense which throws the ball as much as Herman's does, Harris will be exposed as the no talent, unreliable, passer that he has always been. Bye.

The kid simply doesn't have the composure between the ears not to fall apart when it really matters. We saw it time and time again. He's not a field general. He gets that deer in the headlights look of confusion and telegraphs all his routes. If Herman can turn him into a draftable player then he's the best coach around.

Good for Brandon

would like to see him at UT. Then we'd see how much of the problem was BH and how much was Miles' antiquated playbook.

playbook doesn't make you play poorly - just saying.

playbook doesn't make you play poorly, as the QB still had chances to hit receivers with accurate passes. But the playbook certainly didn't help either.

all the comments about harris being "inept between the ears" and not having the talent are in complete denial about the unquestionable failure of the previous coaching staffs ability to develop quarterbacks. quit blaming the kids.

You have to be kidding. There's nothing wrong with someone not being a good qb in college, very few people have that ability. Harris isn't one of those few people who are good qbs. There's nothing wrong with that and it's not an attack on him as a human being, it's just that he isn't a good qb. Good Lord, did you watch him play at all? He's a good kid and I really respect him for how he handled the whole situation last year and really glad he got his degree most of all. I would bet you whatever you wanted to wager that he won't light it up as a qb wherever he goes. He doesn't have the mental toughness, football iq, or decision making ability to be a successful qb at this level of ball. If you think he does after watching him play for as long as he did at lsu, then you just don't know much about football.

It seems like the coaching staff went so far as to make him WORSE than he was raw. Remember when he came off the bench against Moo State? Cameron sure made sure he never improvised like that again. Same with Jennings actually - watch the game-winning drive vs. Arky and then the bowl game. Apparently you were only coached not to use your talents once you became a starter.

He was a spread offensive QB@ Parkway, they ran a similar offense. I do not recall, maybe even no huddle. He could be quite successful in this scheme. Wish him all the best! Class act!

Seems like a depth move for Ut. I can't see BH starting. Buchelle had decent year they can build off of and they are real high on incoming freshman and local kid Ellinger. With only one year left I don't think Texas is where BH should go.

But I bet UT would like him for depth. They only have the two qb's right now and Ellinger might have to have surgery if his finger gets dinged again.

I wish Brandon Harris the best. Miles and Cameron's stagnant offense played to Brandon's weakness and not his strengths. It was a surprise that he any success at all in that system. I think Herman's offense will play to Brandon's strengths he should do well there if Texas is able to put a few playmakers around him. Wherever he goes, I wish him success.

not sure BH would want to go anywhere to sit the bench. If he was ok with that he'd stay at LSU. Guy wants a shot to play now.

If he goes to Texas he will be sitting behind a sophomore. The freshman from last year showed potential.

I hope Brandon Harris gets to Texas and takes the starting role. Aside from going to NC, Texas is his best landing spot to learn the position better and make it to the NFL #teambrandonharris
