Texas took strides in the right direction with an improved year two under Steve Sarkisian. The Longhorns saw a three-win jump in the win column, going from 5-7 to 8-5.
Another step forward in 2023 could have Texas closer to a Big 12 title and College Football Playoff birth.
247Sports named Texas as one of the 10 “most lethal rosters for 2023.” Texas came in at No. 5 on the list, behind only Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State and LSU.
Given the wealth of talent that has been signed in Austin over the last five recruiting cycles, the Longhorns’ overall record doesn’t match up. That’s part of the reason this program has had a revolving door at head coach since Mack Brown’s decision to walk away. Boosters are hoping that coach Steve Sarkisian is the right man to lead Texas back to the national spotlight in 2023 with a top class coming in, highlighted by several five-stars. This isn’t Arch Manning’s team yet, but it will be down the road.
Recruiting at a high level is nothing new for Texas, but the wins have not correlated in recent years. Steve Sarkisian hopes his 2023 team is the one that pushes Texas back into national contention.
