    Steve Sarkisian and Chris Jackson extended an offer to five-star 2025 wide receiver Jaime Ffrench Jr. Monday evening.
    The 6-foot-1 playmaker out of Jacksonville, FL was previously committed to Alabama before re-opening his recruitment on January 14th. 
    On the Texas perspective, Ffrench told me right after his offer he is very much looking forward to getting to Austin at some point soon. The earlier the better as many programs have already begun prioritizing him already.
    In the past week, Ffrench has been visited by South Carolina's Shane Beamer and WR coach Justin Stepp, Florida HC Billy Napier and Georgia's Kirby Smart.

    A trio of Texas coaches were on campus in Calhoun, GA to see 2025 TE commit Emaree Winston.
    Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian, Jeff Banks and Tashard Choice were on the trail to stop by the Texas commits. Of course, the trio then flew out to Florida to see Brandon Brown.
    Winston tells me the visit with the staff very well.
    As for an upcoming visit? Winston said he hopes to be back in Austin for the Spring Game. You can expect to see that visit list become rather lengthy, with Winston starting off the list of visitors.

    For the 2023 season, the Longhorns ended up with 32 sacks, which was a six-sack improvement from the year before.  However, they now are losing three defensive linemen, including arguably two of the best players on defense in T'Vondre Sweat and Byron Murphy II, along with two linebackers.
    So just how much sack production will be lost as the Horns move forward to the 2024 season?
    In short: Not much.
    In somewhat of a surprising result, Texas returns over 65% of that sack production, including three of their top four defenders who recorded the most sacks.
    Let's also not forger that, due to the transfer portal and recruiting, the Longhorns have added pieces such as defensive end Trey Moore from UTSA (14 sacks last season), defensive tackle Tiaoalii Savea from Arizona (1.5 sacks) and some very talented high schoolers such as five-star edge prospect Colin Simmons.

    It has been a busy month of recruiting for Steve Sarkisian and it is not slowing down anytime soon.
     
    Sarkisian brought two of his top recruiters with him to see TE commit Emaree Winston in Georgia this afternoon – Jeff Banks and Tashard Choice.
    Choice has been digging around in Georgia for the last week or so, having extended offers to five prospects on the trip.
    Sarkisian is expected in Saraland tomorrow to see QB commit KJ Lacey.
