BREAKING: Texas Lands Her Punter of the Class in Prosper’s Mikey Bukauskas
The University of Texas has secured a crucial piece of its special teams future with the commitment of Prosper High School standout Mikey Bukauskas, one of the top punters in the nation. Bukauskas, known for his booming leg, elite hang time, and precise placement, announced his pledge to the Longhorns, marking a major win for Texas in the 2025 recruiting cycle.
Often praised for flipping field position and pinning opponents deep, Bukauskas has developed a reputation as a field general on special teams. His technical consistency and ability to perform under pressure made him a top target for programs across the country. Ultimately, Texas won out, continuing its strong push to build a complete and championship-caliber roster under Head Coach Steve Sarkisian.
“Texas just landed a game-changer in the hidden third phase of football,” one recruiting analyst noted. “Bukauskas brings a combination of power and precision that’s rare at the high school level.”
For a program with its eyes set on Big 12 (and soon SEC) dominance, adding an elite punter like Bukauskas provides a huge strategic advantage. Whether it’s flipping the field, handling tough weather conditions, or controlling the tempo of a game, Bukauskas has shown he’s built for big moments.
With his commitment, Texas fans can look forward to watching one of the nation’s best special teams prospects take the field in burnt orange—and opponents may soon learn just how valuable a top-tier punter can be.
