Linebacker is one of the primary positions of need on Texas’ roster right now.
Steve Sarkisian and his staff attempted to pluck a few linebackers out of the transfer portal this offseason, but unfortunately failed to do so. Their latest miss was former UCLA linebacker Caleb Johnson who chose Miami over Texas.
While there is still time to target others in the transfer portal, such as Arizona State transfer Eric Gentry, Texas will also need to hit the recruiting trail hard. DeMarvion Overshown is expected to head to the NFL after this season, and the depth at the position right now is minimal.
The Longhorns have extended 11 offers to linebackers for the 2023 cycle, and two have already committed elsewhere while one has committed to Texas. The other eight are uncommitted, including the top linebacker in the class in five-star Anthony Hill.
Here is each linebacker that the Longhorns have extended an offer to in the 2023 class, according to 247Sports.
