Texas is cleaning up on the recruiting trail. More important than recruiting a high volume of four-star players, the Longhorns have six Top 50 recruits.
Top 50 recruits are difference makers and at times immediate impact players. They are the types of players that become Bijan Robinson, Kelvin Banks and Ja’Tavion Sanders.
While recruiting rankings skew perception of what teams have, impact players tell a better story about a team’s ability to compete at a championship level.
Texas brings in four 247Sports composite five-stars in Arch Manning, Cedric Baxter, Anthony Hill and Johntay Cook. Elite cornerback Malik Muhammad and safety Derek Williams aren’t far behind at No. 47 and No. 48 in the rankings respectively.
After an elite offensive line class in 2022, the 2023 class boasts top 50 players at quarterback, running back, wide receiver, linebacker, cornerback and safety. And while there’s guarantee the above players will star in Austin, they have as good an opportunity to succeed as anyone else.
