The Texas Longhorns are gaining momentum on the recruiting trail for the 2023 cycle.
After two commitments on Saturday, the good news continued to flow in on Sunday when four-star running back Cedric Baxter Jr. announced his top five schools. Texas made the cut alongside Florida, Miami, Texas A&M and Arkansas.
The Orlando native is rated the No. 2 running back in the country and the No. 7 overall prospect in Florida, according to 247Sports.
Baxter exploded onto the scene as a junior for Edgewater High School. He earned all-state recognition after totaling 1,718 yards and 26 touchdowns on the ground through 12 games. Baxter averaged an impressive 8.3 yards per carry.
