Texas Football: 3 5-Star recruits the Longhorns could land in October

A lot of focus is getting placed on the 2022 and 2023 Texas football recruiting classes at this point of the calendar year since there are some important visits coming up. Texas and new head coach Steve Sarkisian are getting set to host some really important visitors specifically on the weekend of the matchup against the Big 12 foe Oklahoma State Cowboys at home, which comes specifically on Oct. 16.

That lofty set of visitors that the Longhorns are set to host in the meeting with Oklahoma State at home on Oct. 16 could help to spark something on the recruiting trail. Texas is without a single five-star commit in the 2022 or 2023 class. But that could all change in the coming weeks and months with the recruiting cycle set to heat up leading up to the Early Signing Period in December.

Could Texas football land a 5-Star commit in the next few weeks?

It is definitely within reason that the Longhorns could land at least a couple of five-star commits for the 2022 and 2023 classes ahead of the Early Signing Period in a few months. October will be a really critical month in that process too.

Between some of the bigger visitors that the Longhorns have hosted in the first few homes games this season, and the list of visiting prospects ahead next month, it’s important to understand the recruiting landscape Sark is looking at right now. Texas has a huge opportunity to pick up another few key commits in the 2022 class and hit the ground running with the 2023 class ahead of the Early Signing Period in the coming weeks.

With that in mind, here’s a look into three key Longhorns five-star prospects on the recruiting trail that could commit to the 2022 or 2023 class in October.
