Texas went all in on their recruiting class this past year, spending nearly $280,000 in one weekend alone as they wooed some of the top prospects around the country. In the end, they wound up getting the No. 1 ranked quarterback and running back prospects, plus the No. 2 overall linebacker and top-five recruits at wide receiver and cornerback, as well.
When the dust settled, the Longhorns’ recruiting class ranked third in the nation behind Georgia and Alabama. Here are the top 10 highest-ranked recruits in their class of 2023.
