Five-star quarterback Arch Manning has been the most important recruit for Texas football in 2023.
Manning is the consensus No. 1 recruit for the 2023 class and the only quarterback that Texas extended an offer to this cycle.
Fortunately for the Longhorns, Manning officially announced his commitment to Texas on Thursday via Twitter. Now many believe it’s the first of many commitments for Steve Sarkisian and his staff.
Of the many positions that could benefit from Manning’s commitment, wide receiver most stands out. Four-star Jaquaize Pettaway was rumored to be favoring Oklahoma yesterday, now one has to wonder if Manning’s commitment will sway Pettaway from the Sooners. Four-star Jonah Wilson already had several 247Sports crystal ball predictions in favor of Texas, those odds have likely only increased.
Although many highly rated prospects are likely to express interest in Texas following Manning’s announcement, let’s focus on the three 2023 prospects that Texas could land a commitment from in the very near future.
