Things are fairly quiet in recruiting on the Forty Acres right now. It’s not hard to deduce why the Longhorns aren’t making a ton of noise. Texas is all in on keeping its class intact and bringing in five-star linebacker Anthony Hill.
The Longhorns would love to sign elite receivers DeAndre Moore and Ja’Kobe Lane and I don’t mean to diminish their efforts there. However, Texas has a chance to fill a need at linebacker with what would be its best talent at the position since Derrick Johnson.
The 2023 class is already stacked with players who could make an impact and perhaps even start right away. Arch Manning, Cedric Baxter, Johntay Cook and Ryan Niblett should have Texas fans on the edge of their seats when they take the field.
On the defensive side, Texas has excellent recruits on every level. That said, Hill could be the piece that sets the Longhorns’ defensive class over the top.
Here’s a look at highlights from a few guys Texas already has in the boat.
