Texas Might Have Found Its 2026 QB Target

Last night, Texas extended an offer to 2026 Mission Hills (CA) quarterback Troy Huhn. It was just the second offer extended by Coach Sarkisian at quarterback in the class.

While Huhn has yet to receive a ranking from the larger recruiting services, his Hudl showcases some tremendous talent throwing the football. We have talked about doing OnTexasFootball rankings loosely in the past, Huhn would be a high four star prospect for me.

I traded messages with Huhn last night following the offer.

Off the bat, there are hopes to get to Austin during the spring. Huhn mentioned potentially a trip to the spring game on April 20, but has yet to set anything officially. A trip to the 40 Acres would not be the first trip to Austin for Huhn, he previously attended the Kansas State game at DKR on November 4.

The offer appears to have been a bit of a surprise, though Huhn says he and Coach AJ Milwee have been building a relationship for the last four months. 

There are also ties to the region despite now living in California. Huhn's mother grew up in the south and he still has plenty of family down here. The University of Texas has always been a "dream school" of his growing up and Huhn even added that he feels like he fits in well in the south.

Of course, it certainly helps the Longhorns' cause having seen the development of Quinn Ewers over the last two seasons as well. Sarkisian's ties to the west coast will definitely help in this recruitment as well.

"Coach Sarkisian is a great coach, let alone a relatable person as he grew up in California," Huhn said following his offer Wednesday night. "The program he has built at Texas is nothing but amazing, especially for quarterbacks. In his recent years, he has developed some of the best quarterbacks that get to play on Sundays."

While the Longhorns just officially got involved with the offer, I would expect to see Texas become a major player here down the road.

"The University of Texas will be high on my list as I continue to build relationships with the staff and move forward."
