Texas is on a roll, chasing another top-10 recruiting class under Steve Sarkisian. As the Longhorns gear up for their sixth full season under Sarkisian in 2026, they've assembled a roster that's among the most talented in all of college football. This success is a result of a combination of strategic transfers and elite high school recruiting. For four consecutive years (2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025), Texas has signed a top-10 class nationally, including the No. 1 overall class in 2025. However, their 2026 crop, which still finished No. 10 in the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings, was the 'weakest' of the bunch, with just three five-stars and 15 blue-chip signees in total. This kind of talent acquisition has created championship expectations in Austin, and rightfully so. Texas is likely to enter the next season as the preseason No. 1 team in the country with Arch Manning as the favorite to win the Heisman. But Sark and his team aren't after one-off success. They're recruiting to keep building and building into 2027 and beyond. And the 2027 recruiting class is further proof of that. Texas has already secured six commitments through mid-February and is sitting inside the top-10 again. In addition to a quartet of high three-stars, the Longhorns have two blue-chippers already in the fold, led by Easton Royal, the nation's No. 1 wide receiver prospect from Louisiana. Royal chose Texas over in-state LSU, as well as Ole Miss, Miami, Georgia, and dozens of other offers. And he won't be the only elite prospect the Longhorns are in a position to sign come December. Texas Longhorns class by position: Quarterback: Ty Knutson (unranked) Wide receiver: Five-star Easton Royal (No. 7 NATL, No. 1 WR) Tight end: Three-star JT Geraci (No. 538 NATL., No. 27 TE) Edge rusher: Four-star Cameron Hall (No. 242 NATL., No. 24 EDGE) Linebacker: Three-star Cade Haug (No. 432 NATL., No. 32 LB) Safety: Three-star Greedy James (No. 583 NATL., No. 63 S)
