Steve Sarkisian got his top choice for Texas’ new wide receivers coach in Brennan Marion.
Marion is widely regarded as one of the better up-and-coming coaches in college football. He was instrumental in the development of 2021 Biltnikof winner Jordan Addison at Pitt and was being courted for a few Power Five offensive coordinator jobs.
A big reason Sarkisian brought in Marion from Pittsburgh was to improve recruiting efforts at the wide receiver position.
Texas missed out on many top wideout targets like Evan Stewart, Armani Winfield, CJ Williams and a few others. The Horns did land four-star speedster Brenen Thompson but wanted to see more dominos fall their way.
Texas will have many selling points to high school pass catchers. The success of Xavier Worthy, the addition of Brennan Marion and the opportunity for early playing time, just to name a few.
The good news for Marion is the 2023 recruiting class is absolutely stacked with elite wide receiver talent.
