The state of Texas has the most top rated recruits in the 2023 class

The Lone Star State leads the nation in top recruits for the 2023 cycle.

After the Texas Longhorns secured a top-five class in the 2022 cycle, there is plenty of work to do if they are to repeat that success.

The good news for Steve Sarkisian and company is the state has plenty of top prospects available. In fact, the Lone Star State has the most top-rated prospects of any state based on the early rankings.

Texas doesn’t have the No. 1 prospect this year. Arch Manning plays in New Orleans, Louisiana. He could be playing in Texas as early as next year, though, as the Horns are among the five teams pursuing him the most. He is set for another visit in the spring.

The staff is trying to gain pledges from Jalen Hale, David Hicks, Anthony Hill and Rueben Owens. Each is among the very best the state has to offer.

Here are the top states in terms of the number of top-rated recruits among the top 300 players in the On3 database:
