Texas landed commitments from the likes of the elite five-star Junipero Serra pro-style quarterback Maalik Murphy and the underrated three-star Arlington-Martin inside linebacker Trevell Johnson, all in a span of hours on the afternoon/evening of Feb. 13.
Since then, a number of 2022 prospects have started trending in the direction of Sark and the Longhorns. Sark’s building 2022 recruiting class has the potential to really become something special in the very near future.

After Texas had a really rough go at things in the trenches on the recruiting trail in their 2021 class, their results with this position group can really turnaround by landing a commitment from Campbell.
