Texas’ 2022 recruiting class moves up three spots following latest commitment

Texas’ 2022 class moved up three spots nationally following the commitment of Jaray Bledsoe.

Just when people thought that Texas recruiting would hit a wall until they showcased results on the field this season, elite recruiter and Texas defensive line coach, Bo Davis, came through again for the Longhorns.

Davis has been on fire as of late picking up two major commitments in two weeks. A week after landing four-star defensive lineman Aaron Bryant, Davis continued his momentum by picking up a commitment from four-star defensive lineman Jaray Bledsoe on Monday.

With the Bledsoe commitment, the Longhorns moved up three spots in 247Sports’ 2022 recruiting rankings from No. 10 to No. 7. Texas now has 19 total commitments for the 2022 cycle.

Steve Sarkisian’s first full cycle at Texas currently sits ahead of programs such as LSU, Texas A&M, and Florida State. Along with the No. 7 class in the nation, Texas now holds the top class in the Big 12.

It’s critical that the Longhorns show consistency and progress during the 2021 season to truly catch the attention of other big-name prospects such as five-stars Denver Harris, Devon Campbell, and Evan Stewart.

Texas’ 2022 recruiting class has the chance to be special, highlighted by five-star quarterback Quinn Ewers. Four-star cornerback Jaylon Guilbeau and four-star wide receiver Phaizon Wilson join Ewers in the class at this point in time.

With the firepower that is already present, Tom Herman will be trying to bring in even more talent, especially on the offensive side of the ball.

Wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. is one of those players and the five-star announced his top 13 schools on Wednesday night. Alabama, Auburn, Arizona State, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Miami, Notre Dame, Oregon, Penn State, Purdue, and USC join the Longhorns in the race for Coleman.

Nationally, Coleman is the No. 19 player and the No. 4 wide receiver in the 2022 class. He also ranks as the No. 2 player in the state of Missouri. Current Oklahoma Sooners wide receiver commit Luther Burden is the only player who ranks ahead of Coleman in-state.

With a five-star quarterback, blue-chip targets are bound to follow Ewers to Austin. Wide receiver is going to be a position of strength for Texas in the 2022 class, possibly headlined by in-state guys Caleb Burton and Evan Stewart.

If those two commit to Texas and are joined by Coleman, Mike Yurcich’s offense will be one of the most stacked groups in the entire country, let alone the Big 12.
