Texas and Oklahoma are setting themselves up for the impending move to the SEC. Both the Longhorns and Sooners put together elite recruiting classes in the 2023 cycle.
Steve Sarkisian has Texas recruiting at a high level in his third season as head coach. Texas has pulled back-to-back top-five classes. The 2023 group is the highest-rated class the Longhorns have signed since 2010 under Mack Brown.
Oklahoma followed up a disappointing season on the field with an excellent recruiting class. Brent Venables is adding some serious talent to his roster in Norman.
Each class is headlined by a five-star quarterback. Texas signed the nation’s No. 1 prospect Arch Manning while Oklahoma landed top 10 prospect Jackson Arnold. The two signal callers have bright futures at the collegiate level.
The Red River Rivals boast the top two classes in the current Big 12 Conference. Here is how Texas and Oklahoma’s recruiting classes stack up in the SEC.
