Texas Football: 3 important recent 2022 visits for the Longhorns

It still seems very weird to discuss, but virtual visits have become an integral part of the recruiting process now on the Forty Acres. Around the entire college football landscape, the COVID-19 pandemic might not have a more consequential impact on any one process than recruiting various high school prospects. And that’s going to continue to alter how the 2022 Texas football recruiting class is pieced together by newly hired head coach Steve Sarkisian.

Texas is assembling quite the impressive set of 2022 commits so far in this class. Since the hiring of the former Alabama Crimson Tide offensive coordinator and reigning Broyles Award winner Sark, the Longhorns 2022 recruiting class has taken off. Now former fourth-year Texas head coach Tom Herman had a rough run at things on the recruiting trail for the 2022 class near the end of his tenure on the Forty Acres

But any results lagging behind up to this point for the Longhorns 2022 class was moped up by Sark and his new look coaching staff. Texas now holds commits from seven prospects in their 2022 class. The highest rated of those seven commits is the elite five-star Junipero Serra pro-style quarterback Maalik Murphy.

And the latest commit the Longhorns got for their 2022 class came from the ultra-talented four-star Aledo safety Bryan Allen Jr. According to the 247Sports Team Composite Rankings, the 2022 Texas recruiting class now ranks at No. 4 in the nation and in the top spot in the Big 12 ahead of the Oklahoma Sooners.

For the Longhorns to keep the momentum going for their 2022 class, they have to focus on their prioritized targets and important visits this month. Here’s a look into three important visitors (whether it be virtual or in-person) for the Longhorns 2022 class.
