Texas wants five-star edge Colin Simmons to be part of its 2024 recruiting class. So would presumably every other team in college football. Nevertheless, the Longhorns have one aspect of the elite edge’s recruitment going in their favor. Simmons is a Steve Sarkisian fan.
The Duncanville native had the following to say about Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian.
I see why people are committing to Texas. (Sarkisian is) an amazing coach. He’s an amazing person.
Simmons isn’t the first to speak glowingly about the Longhorns’ head coach and might not be the last. Sarkisian is winning with sincere and genuine relationships, which only adds to Texas’ already strong recruiting pitch.
Undoubtedly, the Duncanville defender will be at the top of Texas’ wish list. He could end up being the best player in the country, playing at a premium position within the state of Texas.
It’s unclear what role his high esteem for Sarkisian will play in his recruitment, but the mutual respect between the two should aid Texas in bringing Simmons to Austin.
