The results so far for new head coach Steve Sarkisian and his staff in the 2022 Texas football recruiting class are hard to argue with. Texas has raked in a top 10 ranked 2022 recruiting class in the nation thus far. But closing out for this recruiting cycle on a high note ahead of the Early Signing Period is critical for Texas to have a good group in via the 2022 signing class.
Where Sark and the Longhorns look to be losing some ground, though, in the 2022 class of late is with seeing key targets starting to get tighter connections with the coaching staffs of rival schools on the recruiting trail. And there is no other school that the Longhorns like to lose out on less on the recruiting trail with their top targets than the Texas A&M Aggies.
Who is Texas football starting to lose to Texas A&M among its key 5-Star 2022 targets?
A few of the schools that Texas regularly finds itself competing with on the recruiting trail for its top targets are the Oklahoma Sooners, Alabama Crimson Tide, LSU Tigers, Georgia Bulldogs, and the Aggies. The state of Texas was always a breeding ground for top high school football talent. And those other blue bloods love digging in to take some of this top talent out of the Longhorns’ backyard.
Texas A&M is a key competitor of note, though, on the recruiting trail right now for the Longhorns in the 2022 class. Most of Texas’ top remaining targets on the board for this recruiting cycle also have Texas A&M among their top school.
With that in mind, here’s a look into three key Longhorns 2022 recruiting targets that are now trending to Texas A&M.
