Texas Football Recruiting: Ranking the Longhorns’ 2022 quarterback targets

The biggest off the field question seems to be the QB that headlines UT’s ’22 recruiting class. Here are the five potential QBs ranked.

The biggest off the field question surrounding this Texas football team seems to be who will be the quarterback that headlines the Longhorns’ 2022 recruiting class. A cycle loaded with talent from top to bottom, whoever Steve Sarkisian decides to end up taking is going to be the quarterback of the future.

It all begins with one man out of Southlake Carroll High School in five-star and 1.000 rated prospect Quinn Ewers. The once Texas commit has been seen as the quarterback who can be the next Vince Young or Colt McCoy and lead the Longhorns to another national championship. However, he backed off his pledge and is currently committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Sarkisian’s first recruiting assignment will be locking down the 2022 quarterback. Tom Herman’s staff sent out offers to five prospects in Ewers, Malik Murphy, Cade Klubnik, Ty Simpson, and Conner Weigman. Three reside in the state of Texas, while Murphy is a west coast product and Simpson resides in SEC country. Snagging a commitment from any of them would be huge for Texas.

However, it is likely there will only be one. Here are those five ranked in order of how interested the Longhorns should be in them.

Auburn makes top 10 for 4-star QB Ty Simpson

Ty Simpson, one of the top quarterback prospects in 2022, narrowed his recruitment down to 10 schools Thursday night. 

Ty Simpson, one of the top quarterback prospects in 2022, narrowed his recruitment down to 10 schools Thursday night.

The Martin, Tenn., native has Auburn, Alabama Clemson, Florida, Ole Miss, Oklahoma, Tennessee, UT Martin, Texas and Texas A&M as his top schools.

Coming in at 6-foot-2, 185 pounds, Simpson is the No. 43 overall recruit and the No. 2 dual-threat quarterback in the 2022 recruiting class according to the 247Sports Composite.

Texas makes top 10 for No. 2 dual-threat quarterback in 2022 class

Since then, trying to find a replacement for Ewers has become nationwide. An option could be a four-star dual-threat prospect in Ty Simpson.

Recruiting a quarterback in the 2022 class has been difficult for Texas. First, Tom Herman thought he had struck gold by getting five-star Quinn Ewers to commit. Then, the No. 1 overall player in the country flipped to Ohio State, causing panic within the Longhorns’ program.

Since then, trying to find a replacement has become a nationwide search. An option could be a four-star dual-threat prospect Ty Simpson. The Tennessee native has put Texas in his top 10, alongside Alabama and Florida.

Lincoln Riley and Oklahoma are the only other Big 12 school to make the cut. The Longhorns’ in-state rival, Texas A&M, is also in play.
