It didn't take long for Charlie Strong to score his first coup of the 2014 recruiting season. Consensus 4 star Arlington Bowie LB Edwin Freeman will be a Texas Longhorn. If you like cat quick athletes with instincts and a lot of aggression, his HUDL film is very much worth your time.

Freeman played safety as a junior and linebacker as a senior and is the ideal-designed-in-a-lab Big 12 spread-defending outside linebacker who can cover, blitz, manufacture turnovers, run down a screen and still make a play against a traditional running game. Other notable offers included Ohio State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and A&M.

This is a big get.
