WATCH: New Texas commit Colton Vasek’s highlight tape

The newest Texas commit is a beast!

Texas landed a massive recruiting flip from arch-rival Oklahoma this week. Four-star EDGE rusher Colton Vasek decided to follow the golden hat to Texas and commit to the Longhorns.

Keeping the Austin Westlake product home was a top priority for Steve Sarkisian and Texas’ staff.

Texas fans relished in the news of Vasek’s addition to the class for good reason.

Vasek is listed as the No. 17 edge in the country and the No. 26 overall prospect in the lone star state for the 2023 recruiting class, according to the 247Sports composite rankings. His flip pushes Texas’ class up to No. 6 in the nation for the 2023 cycle.

At 6-foot-6, 225 pounds, Vasek has an ideal frame to turn into a great pass rusher at the college level. He is one of the most fundamentally sound prospects in the class. Vasek puts his deep skillset on display in his senior highlight film.

Where Texas’ 2023 recruiting class would rank with Colton Vasek and Anthony Hill

Steve Sarkisian’s 2023 class would skyrocket should Hill and Vasek choose the Longhorns.

Texas is making waves in recruiting following a huge win over then No. 13 Kansas State. Two premier recruiting targets could be on their way to the Forty Acres.

Multiple crystal ball predictions entered on Monday have Colton Vasek and Anthony Hill Jr headed to the Longhorns. Both players were seen as huge losses when they committed to each of Texas’ top rivals. Lately, they are set to spurn both Oklahoma and Texas A&M.

Vasek, a Texas legacy and elite pass rusher from Austin, first looked to be leaving the Sooners when he took a visit to the Texas game against Iowa State. Some scoffed at the possibility he would choose the Longhorns, but it looks like they could be his No. 1 school presently.

Some have flirted with the idea that Hill would flip from the Aggies for a couple weeks. Now that he has decommitted, the Texas Longhorns are back in the hunt for another top class.

Let’s look at where Steve Sarkisian’s 2023 class would rank in the 247Sports recruiting rankings should Hill and Vasek choose the Longhorns.
