Texas’ recruiting momentum has been soaring high, especially alongside the defensive line. A win against Arkansas would have helped even more but instead, a gut-punch back to reality faces Steve Sarkisian and his staff.
Although the Longhorns have the No. 3 class in the country, there is still plenty of work to do. Some of the top targets on the board are still available and will require dog fights to win out for.
Gerry Hamilton of Inside Texas and On3 has named five must-get recruits for Texas. Unless numbers are mixed around by the coaching staff, there are only five spots left in the 2022 class. It would be one heck of a way to close out the cycle.
To put in perspective how big of gets these guys would be, landing all five to close shop would have been good enough for the No. 3 class in the country last year. Only Alabama and Ohio State would have signed more five-star prospects.
Sarkisian and his staff have an important few months ahead of them. Here are Texas’ five must-get recruits remaining in the 2022 class.
