The second Division I FBS scholarship offer has arrived for Gilmer junior defensive back Kollin Hurt.

Louisiana Tech officially targeted the Buckeyes' star safety, he announced through Twitter on Tuesday night.

Hurt (6-3, 175) received his first from Louisiana-Monroe on May 10.

Louisiana Tech, located in Ruston, La., competes in Conference USA. The Bulldogs, who are coached by Skip Holtz, are coming off a 9-4 campaign in 2015, which included a 47-28 New Orleans Bowl win over Arkansas State.

The Bulldogs currently have a couple of East Texas players on their roster, and recently landed former Van and Texas Longhorns LB Dalton Santos, who will use his final year of eligibility to play at Louisiana Tech.

Louisiana Tech has offered three other East Texans in the 2017 recruiting class -- Center WR Octavius Evans, Gilmer WR LaMarcus Morton, and Nacogdoches CB Josh Thompson.

Hurt led the region in interceptions last season with 11 through a 15-game campaign as Gilmer worked toward the Class 4A Division II state semifinal round. Five of his picks came in postseason games, an average of one per game.

In addition to ultimately leading the area in picks, Hurt cracked the ETSN.fm tackles leader board with 114. He was also one of 10 Gilmer players to record at least 100 yards receiving with 234 yards and three touchdowns on 17 receptions.

Gilmer built up a school-best, 31-game winning streak in the process. The streak dated back to Week 1 of the 2014 season and included the 2014 Class 4A Division II state crown.

The two combined seasons surpassed a 25-game winning streak between an undefeated 2004 slate and a 5-0 start in 2005.

Like all high school football players currently in their junior year, Hurt will become eligible to sign with any program that offers him in February.
