Evaluating 3 important summer enrollees for Texas football

In the midst of the downtime for second-year head coach Steve Sarkisian and the Texas football program between spring camp and summer workouts, we are now awaiting the arrival of the rest of the 2022 signing class. Texas had a little less than half of the 2022 recruiting class among high school signees enroll early for the spring semester to participate in spring camp over the last couple of months.

That leaves the rest of the Longhorns 2022 class that is set to arrive on campus for the next semester to attend summer workouts. It will also mark a time when we can finally see how Sark and the Longhorns staff will start to pull together the two-deep depth chart ahead of next season.

We won’t really know how the two-deep shapes up until fall camp, but summer workouts will at least provide some insight into who’s able to make an impression on the coaching staff early on.

Which Texas football summer enrollees are bound to have a bright spotlight this offseason?

Moreover, some of the players in the 2022 recruiting class that are set to arrive on campus ahead of summer workouts include some of the highest-rated prospects from this group. Both of the two five-star recruits and a good portion of the four-stars in the 2022 class will arrive on campus with the summer enrollees.

This group also includes nearly a dozen incoming freshmen that will be playing in the trenches on either side of the ball. That means that this group of summer enrollees will need to get going fast in workouts. It also signifies the fact that this round of summer workouts will be more important than most other offseasons in terms of getting the new enrollees from the previous signing class transitioned into the program.

With that in mind, here’s an evaluation of three of the most important summer enrollees for the Longhorns this offseason.
