The Longhorns are on the verge of a special recruiting class. Thanks to recent updates to other programs, Texas’ 2023 class now ranks No. 2 in the nation according to 247Sports composite.
The class includes three five-star prospects so far. Arch Manning and Derek Williams Jr. retain their five-star rating, while Johntay Cook returns to the ranks of the nation’s elite players.
So far, Texas has 16 blue chip recruits. The Longhorns’ most recent commit, Cedric Baxter Jr, has a chance to raise his already strong rating after this season.
Steve Sarkisian and company face a number of elite competitors for the top recruiting class. Alabama, Notre Dame and Ohio State have jockeyed for the top class for much of this summer.
