Texas Longhorns Set Spring Visit with ‘Elite’ Five-Star Tight End Kaiden Prothro
Fresh off signing the nation’s No. 1 ranked 2025 class, the Texas Longhorns will be looking to make it two in a row with a top-ranked 2026 class. And despite a slow start to the class so far, where the Longhorns have just three commits, there is still plenty of time before signing day.
And that time could prove especially valuable for Texas in their recruitment of “elite” tight-end prospect Kaiden Prothro. The Bowdon, Georgia, native has locked in his visit schedule for the spring, as first reported by ON3.com’s Chad Simmons. Texas will be one of the five programs to host Prothro on a visit.
Prothro’s visit schedule will look as follows for the spring according to Simmons:
Prothro ranks as the nation’s No. 30 prospect nationally by ON3, who rate him as a five-star prospect and the No. 3 tight end in the class. Meanwhile he ranks as the No. 3 prospect from Georgia and tight end in the class according to the 247Sports Composite, which also ranks him as the 22nd-best prospect nationally.
The five-star tight end in the composite rankings is one of the nation’s most highly touted prospects in the class. Which is evidenced by his visit list and his offer list, where he holds over three dozen offers.
Not only does the Georgia native have his spring visit schedule set. But he also has his official visit schedule set for the summer. Prothro will visit Georgia on May 30th, Alabama on June 6th, Auburn on June 10th, Florida on June 13th, and Texas on June 20th.
No decision date has been set by Prothro. Yet, with two visits set, the Longhorns are in contention to land the five-star tight end.

Texas man accused of killing pregnant wife allegedly cuts off ankle monitor and flees to Italy
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Texas man facing charges for allegedly killing his pregnant wife has reportedly cut off his ankle monitor and fled abroad.
Lee Mongerson Gilley, 39, is accused of murdering his wife, Christa Bauer Gilley, and the couple’s unborn child in Houston in 2024, according to KPRC.
Gilley was set to appear in court Tuesday, but instead flew from Texas to Canada, and finally Italy, where he told authorities he was seeking asylum after being “wrongfully prosecuted” and is fearful of receiving the death penalty, his attorney told the outlet.
“I’m concerned that the prosecution will try to say that it’s evidence of consciousness of guilt that he’s running from it, but I think he’s just scared,” defense attorney Dick DeGuerin reportedly said.

Gilley, whose murder trial was set to begin later this month, is reportedly in the custody of Italian authorities. His ankle monitor alerted authorities it had been tampered with on Friday, according to the outlet.
DeGuerin told the outlet that before Gilley can be returned to Texas, the state must certify to Italy that he is not eligible for the death penalty — which the prosecution is not seeking in his case.

Prosecutors reportedly allege Gilley initially claimed Christa, who was nine months pregnant, had overdosed and that he had tried to save her with CPR, but a medical examiner later pointed to evidence of strangulation and ruled her death a homicide.

After he was arrested days later, Gilley allegedly admitted his wife was not a drug user or suicidal, and that the couple had been arguing before her death, KPRC reported.
In 2025, while out on bond, prosecutors reportedly allege Gilley and an unnamed woman, whom he had an affair with in 2023, devised a scheme to flee to Mexico and other countries, according to the outlet.

“The Defendant also inquired as to whether she knew of a Mexican identity he could acquire to facilitate his departure from the country,” the document said.
Gilley also allegedly “provided a detailed plan” to remove his GPS monitor and perform a sham marriage to obtain a new identity, prosecutors reportedly said.
