Texas football is on the hunt for the next big game-changer, and all eyes are on the trenches. Every powerhouse offense starts with dominance up front, and the Longhorns know that landing elite offensive linemen can make or break their future success. With the 2027 recruiting class shaping up to be one of the most competitive in years, one name is already turning heads. A massive, athletic force from Gilmer, Texas, Camara isn’t just another prospect—he’s the type of player who can redefine a program, control games from the line of scrimmage, and make defenses tremble.
The Longhorns are zeroing in on recruiting elite offensive linemen, both from high school and the transfer portal, to help maintain their offensive success in the years ahead. In that pursuit, one of the top offensive linemen in the 2027 class, Ismael Camara, has scheduled his official visit to Texas for the weekend of June 12th. It will be critical for Steve Sarkisian and his staff to make a strong impression while he’s on campus.
The 6-foot-6, 330-pound standout from Gilmer, Texas, has been on Texas’ radar for some time, and the Longhorns are thrilled to have him locked in for an official visit this summer.
Camara has the potential to finish as the No. 1 overall recruit in the 2027 class. He already possesses the size, skill, and mentality to start for any Power Five team as a true freshman, with the ability to play both offensive guard and tackle at the next level.
Many see him as a college-level version of former Alabama star Evan Neal. Camara matches Neal’s athleticism but adds a rare power element, making him difficult for defensive linemen to move off the line. Still, he’ll need to refine his technique when it comes to dropping his hips and anchoring against bull rushes.
Camara also shows a fierce attitude in the run game, eager to dominate defenders, which has been one of his most appealing traits. His pass-blocking is impressive as well, aided by his lateral quickness and size at the high school level. If Texas can land Camara’s commitment this year, it would be one of their biggest recruiting victories in quite some time.
