Texas football is currently hosting one of the biggest recruiting weekends in history.
A plethora of blue-chip prospects from the 2022 and 2023 recruiting class are currently on the Forty Acres for either an unofficial or official visit. The group includes numerous five-star recruits from each class, headlined by the nation’s top quarterback prospect in the 2023 cycle, Arch Manning.
Manning visited Clemson last weekend and has visits scheduled with Alabama and Georgia to close out the month of June. The top overall prospect from Louisiana is expected to be in Austin for three days.
On Saturday morning, Inside Texas released the first glimpse of Manning on his visit in Austin. He is seen alongside Texas quarterbacks coach A.J. Milwee below.

Five-star running back Rueben Owens, the Longhorns’ only commit in the 2023 class at the moment, is also on campus with Manning this weekend and has reportedly been doing some recruiting on his own over the last few months to try and lure the five-star quarterback to Austin.
First-year head coach Steve Sarkisian and his staff are putting their best foot forward to try and make a great impression this weekend. Former Texas stars such as Vince Young, Jamaal Charles, Earl Campbell and Brian Orakpo are on campus to interact with the recruits, while Matthew McConaughey is involved as well.
Manning is a rare elite-level prospect who will be valued by all but available to few.
