    Texas Recruiting: Longhorns in the top two 

    Texas has offered over 100 prospects in the 2025 cycle, but all offers are not the same. 

    The April visit list continues to take shape with three weekends expected to host more than 25 4-star prospects in the 2025 cycle expected on campus. 

    This morning, OnTexasFootball provides a list of prospects Texas is in the top two with headed into the spring. 

    Texas in the top two

    Rickey Stewart, RB, Tyler (Texas) Chapel Hill
    OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star
    Texas leads Baylor by a large margin. 

    Dakorien Moore, Duncanville (Texas) High - *LSU commit
    OnTexasFootball Ranking:     5-star
    This letter of intent will come down to LSU vs. Texas, barring a significant change. 

    Kelshaun Johnson, WR, Hitchock (Texas) High
    OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star
    Texas leads this recruitment with USC and Texas A&M jockeying for second headed into the spring. 

    Marcus Harris, WR, Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei
    OnTexasFootball Ranking: 4-star
    Texas is in the lead spot or top two as long as Sarkisian desires. 

    Nick Towsend, TE, Houston (Texas) Dekaney
    OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star
    Jeff Banks has Texas in the top as long as the Horns recruit Townsend at tight end, his preferred position. 

    Kiotti Armstrong, TE, Jasper (Texas) High
    OnTexasFootball Ranking: 4-star
    Armstrong will sign with either Texas A&M or Texas barring a significant change,

    Michael Fasusi, OT, Lewisville (Texas) High
    OnTexasFootball Ranking: 5-star
    Oklahoma and Texas have been top 2 for months. It’s up to Texas A&M or Oregon to change that. 

    John Mills, IOL, San Francisco (Calif.) St. Ignatius
    OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star
    Texas is in a favorable position headed into the spring. Will it Michigan or Washington that becomes the clear top two with Texas?

    Tyler Thomas, IOL, Dickinson (Texas) High
    The Houston area guard prospect is very likely to come down to Texas vs. Texas A&M, unless LSU can make a major push this spring. 

    Riley Pettijohn, LB, McKinney (Texas) High
    OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star
    Texas will live in the top two of this recruitment barring a change. 

    Elijah Barnes, Dallas (Texas) Skyline
    OnTexasFootball Ranking: 4-star
    Texas will live in the top 2 of this recruitment, and arguably leads headed into the spring. 

    Zion Williams, DL, Lufkin (Texas) High
    OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star
    Texas and LSU in front of Texas A&M with TCU fourth. 

    Kade Phillips, S/DB, Missouri City (Texas) Hightower
    OnTexasFootball Ranking: 4-star
    Texas’ offer a week ago vaults the Horns into the top two with LSU. Texas A&M is third, currently. 

    Dorian Brew, CB, Conroe (Texas) High
    OnTexasFootball Ranking: 4-star
    Texas has made up ground since January 20, and now sits in the top 2 headed into the spring. 

    Cobey Sellers, CB, Pearland (Texas) Shadow Creek
    OnTexasFootball Ranking: 4-star
    Oklahoma the favorite over Texas to win out headed into the spring. 

    Michael Terry, ATH, San Antonio (Texas) Alamo Heights
    OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star
    Texas will be top two in this one as long as Sark and staff push this spring and in June.

    It’s tough to see DK Moore flipping his commitment seeing how LSU continues to put WRs in the league. This one has my attention for the duration for sure. Looks like UT is at the top for some really great prospects in state. Could this class be more Tx focused than past classes? @Gerry Hamilton

    Jordan Davison, Lockett, and Marsh?

    Davison is playing the field.

    Lockett is fairly open and has five or six visits lined up.

    Marsh favors A&M right now.

    @Gerry Hamilton @CJ Vogel

    what position do you guys project Michael Terry to in college (and is Terry okay playing that position)?

    Tough Q for me. Athletic stretch TE on O … more of LB frame long term on D

    very much a projection as an evaluation for P5’s

    Texas can win Davison if they choose to.

    i think Lockett is headed for being on this list after the April 6 visit. Family ties to USC (SoCal) and LSU (Louisiana) in some manner.

    I like him as a LB or S as well. I'd like to see him start on defense. He's my personal favorite in the class b/c he's incredibly dynamic but similarly to Jelani McDonald, it's not clear where exactly he'll fit. You just know you want him on the roster.

    I project Michael Terry to BAMF and he's gonna kill  it wherever he lands.  I like WR, but I bet he'd be ALL-WORLD at safety.

    JMO!

    I lean defense b/c WR will be full of dynamic dudes with Sark in charge. TE is intriguing but 6'3 225 lb dudes that can run a sub-11 100M are Unicorns on defense. 

    I'd like to know where he'd prefer b/c that'll tell us a lot but regardless I want him in the class.

    Gerry.. Is Choice going to continue to prioritize and chip away at Berry (in addition to Stewart). I thought for awhile Choice had Davison at the top of his board.

    A little off-topic, but any concern of Choice possibly going back to the peach state with the UGA RB position open? I’ve read a couple of UGA mods claim he’s more of a long shot with Arky’s Smith listed as the favorite. Didn’t know if you e heard anything. Choice deserves a nice raise regardless.

    Well.. if anything, Sark has also shown to get WRs drafted in the NFL.. and if he wants to see more evidence of that.. he can tune into a weekend in April to see for himself

    Had two people tell me Sunday afternoon that they would be "very surprised" if Choice left. We shall see how it shakes out.

    Looks like they got Crawford for their RB coach and Coley as their new WR coach. Kirby is looking to put a choke hold on FL and GA recruiting.

    I'm really curious about this player.  Interesting that there is mention of him playing TE.  His HS Head Coach's son was just named TE coach for UTSA.  I wonder if that will have any impact at all.
