When compared to rivals, Texas’ 2023 class has gotten off to a slow start. Five-star running back Rueben Owens was the only commit at one point but reopened his recruitment as prospects were allowed to take visits. Nobody has joined since.
Not to say Steve Sarkisian or his staff have not done a good job but the movement has been slow.
There seems to be a chance to land a commitment in the near future with four-star cornerback Jamel Johnson. Three 247Sports crystal balls were inserted in favor of Texas from Mike Roach and Nick Harris of Horns247, plus national writer Steve Wiltfong.
Johnson comes out of Arlington, TX, and Seguin High School. He holds 32 total offers, including six Big 12 schools and top SEC programs such as Alabama and LSU.
He would be a fantastic edition to get the 2023 class underway.
