Four-star 2028 quarterback Neimann Lawrence officially committed to the Texas Longhorns. The No. 6 passer in his class chose head coach Steve Sarkisian over finalists Miami, Notre Dame, Michigan, and Texas A&M.
Lawrence held around 40 scholarship offers before making his final decision. The Fort Lauderdale prospect pointed directly to Sarkisian’s offensive system and the program’s recent history of developing quarterbacks as the primary reasons for his choice.
He specifically noted the established pipeline in Austin. Lawrence mentioned current Texas quarterback Arch Manning and 2026 commit Dia Bell—who previously played at the exact same American Heritage high school Lawrence joins this fall—according to On3.
The quarterback brings high production to the Longhorns’ future roster. During his freshman season at Ransom Everglades, Lawrence threw for 2,777 yards and 31 touchdowns. He transferred to Miami Northwestern for his sophomore year to play for former NFL quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, where he completed 71 percent of his passes for 1,971 yards, 32 touchdowns, and just one interception.
Lawrence will now play his upcoming junior season at American Heritage in Florida.
