Highlights from Texas commits over the weekend

Texas’ talented 2023 class started the new season on a high note. 

High school football programs all over the country kicked off their 2022 season over the weekend.

Texas’ talented 2023 class started the new season on a high note.

Five-star Arch Manning lead his school to a 20-13 victory in their season opener. Manning completed a number of big passes and won the game with a late 20-yard touchdown run.

DeSoto’s Johntay Cook took his first catch of the season for a 68-yard score. Cook displayed the burners, outrunning the opposing secondary to set the tone.

Running back Cedric Baxter went off for 232 yards and a touchdown leading his school to a season-opening victory.

Four-star wide receiver Jonah Wilson started his senior campaign with a bang. He made a handful of spectacular plays and snagged two touchdowns for Dekaney High School.

The Longhorns’ 2023 class currently sits No. 2 in the nation behind the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Here is a look at some of the best highlights from Texas commits this weekend.

Where Texas commits fall in On3 Sports’ updated recruiting rankings

The Texas Longhorns have a strong 2023 recruiting class in the fold as of July 18.

The Texas Longhorns have a strong 2023 recruiting class in the fold as of July 18. On3 Sports’ recruiting analysts confirm that notion, listing Texas as the nation’s No. 5 overall class.

A few Texas targets fell high on On3’s updated recruiting rankings on Monday. Malik Muhammad, who makes his college decision on Wednesday, is ranked as the No. 30 overall player in the nation. Fellow Dallas-Fort Worth area player, Markis Deal, also enjoyed a high ranking at No. 58 overall. Other Texas targets and commits made the Top 100 as well.

Despite high rankings elsewhere, Texas commit Johntay Cook and high priority targets Anthony Hill and Javien Toviano surprisingly were not rated as highly by On3. Toviano checked in at No. 64 overall, while Anthony Hill ranked at No. 55.

While multiple players received four-star ratings, not every four-star made On3’s nationally ranked list. Here is a list of Texas commits that landed in On3 Sports’ updated top 300.

Four-star wide receiver Jonah Wilson commits to Texas

BOOM! Jonah Wilson commits to Texas.

Arch Manning has another receiver to throw passes in the 2023 class. Four-star 2023 wide receiver Jonah Wilson committed to the Texas Longhorns Sunday afternoon.

Wilson joins Ryan Niblett in what could be one of Texas’ best receiver classes in a long time. The 6-foot-3 receiver from Dekaney High School has great body control and concentration when receiving the football. Wilson is adept at adjusting to catch off-target throws in midair. Dekaney frequently utilized Wilson’s jump-ball skills on throws downfield.

As a downfield threat, Wilson routinely left high school defenders in the dust. If that translates to the college level, he will become a focus of Steve Sarkisian’s offense.

Wilson received offers from Ohio State, LSU, Texas A&M, Arkansas, and others. After considering his options, Wilson decided to make his new home in Austin, Texas.

Wilson is the No. 34 receiver in the nation and No. 47 overall player in Texas, according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
