Steve Sarkisian and his staff have the opportunity to close out the 2022 recruiting class on a high note.
Texas currently has the No. 7 recruiting class in the nation for the 2022 cycle, according to 247Sports. Several of the highest rated prospects on their board are uncommitted at the moment, meaning there’s a chance that the Longhorns could jump into the top five if they play their cards right.
Sarkisian’s staff missed out on two priority targets this week in five-star wide receiver Evan Stewart and four-star quarterback Devin Brown. While those losses certainly hurt, Texas will likely look to the transfer portal for immediate help at quarterback and wide receiver.
Where Sarkisian’s staff can make great strides in this class is at offensive line. Texas is tied to four sought-after offensive lineman in the 2022 class that are considering committing to and/or flipping to Texas. Even if they’re able to land two out of the four, it would be considered a solid haul. Missing out on all four of the remaining offensive line targets, though, would certainly set Kyle Flood’s unit back.
In the spirit of Christmas, Longhorns Wire created a wish list of recruits to close out the 2022 recruiting class. Early signing day is quickly approaching on Dec. 15, therefore the amount of available targets are beginning to lessen.
Whether it’s wishing for a flip or wishing to land a highly rated player at a position of need, Texas is hoping Santa will bring a few of these recruits to Austin.
