Last month, the father of Parker Braun confirmed that Florida, Ohio State and Texas were the favorites to land the transfer offensive lineman. Sunday, one of those three schools were confirmed as the winner in this particular personnel sweepstakes.
First reported by Orangebloods.com, Braun has committed to the University of Texas and will continue his collegiate playing career with the Longhorns. The report comes very shortly after Braun took an official visit to the campus.
Braun had also taken an unofficial visit to Gainesville and had previously been working on setting up a trip to Columbus. Auburn was also a consideration for Braun.
Per a family member of his, graduate transfer OL Parker Braun has committed to Texas. Braun was a two-time all ACC selection at Georgia Tech.

As a graduate transfer — he’s scheduled to receive his degree from Tech in May — Braun would be eligible to play immediately in 2019. The upcoming season will be the lineman’s final year of eligibility.
A Freshman All-American in 2016, Braun has earned first-team All-ACC honors each of the past two seasons. Braun had spent the vast majority of his time at Tech as the Yellow Jackets’ starting left guard.
