It has been a while since Texas has received some good news on the recruiting trail, but they did receive a nugget to be positive about on Sunday.
Five-star wide receiver Jalen Hale, who 247Sports’ composite has ranked as a top-35 player in the class of 2023, announced his top schools via Twitter. The Longhorns are in dire need of receiver talent to compliment freshman superstar Xavier Worthy, and to eventually replace him after he inevitably heads to the NFL.

Hale seems to be interested in a variety of schools, including powerhouses such as Alabama, LSU, USC and Georgia.
As it currently stands, Texas has just one player in their 2023 class. The staff is doing their best to wrap up the class of 2022 along with seeking talented transfers from the portal in order to bolster the roster to redeem themselves after a dreadful 5-7 season.
Hale’s recruitment seems to be wide open, as he was once crystal balled to Oklahoma, but after the Lincoln Riley move it seems to have opened up, allowing for Texas to make a great impression while the Sooners recover and find a coach.
