Big Picture: What recruits will sign and who returns for Texas?

Let’s take a look at what could happen for Texas over the next year.

The Texas Longhorns have had their fair share of frustration through ten games in 2022. The team has a record of 6-4, but that’s not really the issue.

Texas isn’t winning and losing like they expected to win or lose. The Longhorns fell to No. 4 TCU 17-10 on Saturday with little to no offensive production. Recent performances leave some wondering whether or not Texas has its answer at quarterback.

In reality, the Longhorns have a chance to improve their win total by three games from last season against beatable opponents. More important than where the program is now is the direction it is headed. There’s plenty of evidence that the program is heading in the right direction.

Arch Manning scores rushing touchdown in final preseason tune-up

Manning did show his ability to make plays with his legs by scoring a 34-yard rushing touchdown.

While not everyone agrees he’s the best player in the country, Arch Manning is the biggest name in high school football. Widely considered the No. 1 overall recruit in the country – some have him ranked second – Manning is about to embark on his Senior season.

Before he gets started, Manning’s school —Isidore Newman (La.)—held a preseason game on Friday night, playing one half of football against New Orleans De La Salle (La.).

In Manning’s time on the field, he completed six of 12 pass attempts, totaling 81 yards and an interception, according to 247Sports. While those numbers aren’t anything to write home about, Manning did show his ability to make plays with his legs by scoring a 34-yard rushing touchdown.

Newman officially begins their 2022 season on the road Friday against Hahnville (La.) at 7:00 p.m.

Looking ahead, Manning has committed to playing his college ball at Texas under Steve Sarkisian. On the strength of his commitment (and a few others) the Longhorns are in second place in the 2023 recruiting rankings.
