Texas Longhorns News
A place for any Longhorn Fan to get the latest news from the On Texas Football team.

By Bobby Burton, in Articles,
The first Junior Day of the year occurred yesterday.
And it was considered “successful”.
So how many commitments did the Longhorns grab? Five? Seven? Ten?
Nope. Just one emerged.
And it really should be no surprise to close onlookers of the program. That’s how Steve Sarkisian plays it.
When it comes to recruiting and Sark, patience isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a way of life.
Yet there are different ways to look at his patience.
Sark and running back coach Tashard Choice took that one commitment not from a player in the upcoming 2025 class, but a running back in 2026, Aledo’s speedy Raycine Guillory Jr.
Perhaps that’s how the Horns want to play it. Take a player who wants to sign two years from now, yet a pledge from a 2025 player is just too soon.
How does that jibe with Sark’s “patient”recruiting style?
Here’s how:
The immediate class needs more detailed introspection. While we all know a commitment two years from now doesn’t always stick, one in the ‘25 class is very likely to.
So Sark is actually playing the long game yet again. Better to be thorough on the front end, especially on decisions that will impact your program sooner.
It’s a simple, proven concept. And Sark’s not changing, not until he has truly surveyed the landscape, met with a multitude of recruits and is ready to pull the trigger.
Sark and recruiting, I just never get the feeling that he pushes the panic button.
He’s willing to play the long game. Always.

Cash those tickets!
2026 Aledo RB Raycine Guillory Jr. has committed to Texas following his time on campus for the Junior Day Saturday afternoon.
Guillory was a key piece of the Aledo offense in 2023 that ended up winning the state title. The sophomore running back rushed for 1200+ yards on an 8.5 yards per carry clip and found the end zone 17 times.
Another feather in the cap of RB Coach Tashard Choice who lands a tremendous prospect from a very impressive program out of DFW. Guillory was clocked at 10.8 in the 100m as a sophomore and has a reported 4.43 laser time in the 40-yard dash as well.
Guillory becomes the first commitment in the 2026 class for the Texas Longhorns.

Texas wrapped up their Junior Day festivities a couple of hours ago, but there might be a few more fireworks left in the chamber.
I am told everyone who wagered on over 0.5 commitments to come out of this weekend will be walking to the ticket window here soon to cash that ticket.
