It was the beginning of a cruel summer Texas.
The Longhorns added two players in June and four in July, but they may not have been the big recruits. Some didn’t satisfy the rabid fan base. One look at the boards shows it all went wrong.
O ye of little faith!
Texas Coach Steve Sarkisian His entire staff was highly successful throughout the month of August, leading the Longhorns to land five-star receiver Jamie French, four-star receiver Kalik Lockett, five-star linebacker/safety Jonah Williams and four-star offensive lineman Nikolai Brooks.
He got off to a strong start in September on the recruiting trail, with four-star defensive lineman Myron Charles an early Texas target. Florida.
On Sunday night, five-star defensive end Javion Hilson withdrew his commitment to the Seminoles and has already booked his official visit to Texas. Georgia A mid-October game. When Hillson was looking to sign players, his contenders were Florida State and Texas State, so the Longhorns should be in good form there.
While there is certainly good news on and off the field, there have also been some surprising struggles for the Longhorns, who appeared primed for a big recruiting push after appearing in the College Football Playoff last season.
It could still happen.
Five-star receiver DaCorine Moore chose Oregon even though Texas seemed like a sure thing after him. LSU Five-star offensive lineman Michael Fasci Oklahoma Win over the Longhorns. Four-star defensive back Cade Phillips transferred to LSU from Texas after a month of signing.
Other targets include four-star defensive back Dijon Lee Jr.Alabama) and Dorian Belew (Oregon) transferred to other teams, and four-star defensive lineman Brandon Brown transferred to LSU from Texas.
Five-star linebacker Riley Pettyjohn Ohio State University And it is U.S.C. No. 2 was four-star receiver Kelshawn Johnson. Texas A&M The Longhorns and four-star offensive lineman Lamont Rodgers were the pick. MissouriInterior defensive linemen who were once targets, such as Kevin Wynn and Zion Williams, have left for other teams.
I don’t know if it was because of the NIL or some other reason, but Texas missed some of their goals, but still, everything is still pretty great in Austin.
Texas is 4th best freshman They’re behind Ohio State, Alabama and Louisiana State, and it’s not even transfer season yet, but Sarkisian said the bulk of their recruiting is done, and with only one of Texas’ top eight players (and three of the top 10) committed to the Longhorns, there could be some top turnover late on.
Especially if Texas continues to perform well on the field.
There couldn’t have been a better recruiting pitch than what the Longhorns did on Saturday: They went to Michigan and dominated the national champions all over the field. They dominated the line of scrimmage, silenced a raucous crowd and cruised to an easier-than-expected 31-12 victory.
The Longhorns should enter their rivalry game with Oklahoma undefeated and look far more favored than the Sooners at this point, with a showdown with Georgia coming up on Oct. 19. But Texas is all but guaranteed to be the favorite to win the 12-team playoff.
If you read the headlines this summer, they said Texas was falling apart, but the reason the Longhorns have become so strong is because Mack Brown Glory days.
