Every college football program across the country is gearing up for the early signing period on Dec. 21.
The early signing period is a great indicator of how each program will conclude the 2023 recruiting cycle. Not many high-profile prospects are typically left on the board once the early signing period concludes.
Texas is in great shape to finish with a top five class in the country. Five-star quarterback Arch Manning and five-star running back Cedric Baxter Jr. lead the class. Steve Sarkisian’s staff hopes to add the No. 1 linebacker in the nation in Anthony Hill Jr. on Dec. 21.
Oklahoma is in solid position to finish with a top 10 class for the 2023 cycle, even after a disappointing 6-6 record. Brent Venables’ team only won three conference games this season.
In terms of recruiting class rankings for the Big 12, it’s not a surprise to see Texas, Oklahoma and TCU near the top of the conference. The surprise, however, is how low Oklahoma State’s class is graded at the moment.
Here’s a look at where each Big 12 teams recruiting class ranks for the 2023 cycle at this time, according to 247Sports composite.
