In my years following recruiting, I’ve seen top five classes not actually “fit” the needs of the program, either immediately or over the long haul. Texas has done that a few times in my career. The Horns would need more guys on offensive line yet come up short. Or perhaps they needed more guys in the secondary and it just didn’t get addressed as well as it could have. It’s typical, even for the very best classes,

Three full classes are in the books now for Steve Sarkisian as the head coach of the Texas Longhorns. A top six finish continues the trend of elite recruiting here for the Longhorns as well, in which Texas went out of state a bit more this season to get the core of their class. This is a bit of a new feature for most of the audience here, however I have done this for the past four seasons with the predictions being anywhere from spot on to couldn’t be further off. I will post the results of

The Texas Longhorns will end the February signing period with a third straight top 6 ranked class in the recruiting industry. The Longhorns inked the No. 5 ranked class in 2022, No. 3 in 2023 and No. 6 in the 2024 cycle.  Texas fans have seen plenty of changes on the recruiting trail under Steve Sarkisian and staff ahead of the move to the SEC. There has been a concerted effort to recruit nationally, with a focus on the Southeast Region and the West Coast.  OnTexasFootball breaks down

Lufkin, Texas - Steve Sarkisian made stops at a number of schools in January to see top targets in the 2025 cycle. One of those stops was Lufkin High.  OnTexasFootball 4-star defensive tackle Zion Williams has been a top target of the Longhorns on the defensive front for more than a year.  Williams, who is 6-foot-4 and 320 pounds with an 80+inch wing span and a size 18 shoe, attended the Texas mauling of Texas Tech in November. At that time, it was then-defensive line coach Bo Davis wh
