Texas Football: 4 Horns true freshmen that will have biggest impact in 2023

Texas football signed its best and deepest recruiting class to date under head coach Steve Sarkisian during the 2023 cycle. The 2023 recruiting class for Texas and Sark ranked in the top three in the nation (according to the 247Sports Composite).

This class was highlighted by the signing of four five-star recruits, including the nation’s top-ranked prospect for this cycle in elite Isidore Newman quarterback Arch Manning. Texas had the third-most five-star commits of any 2023 class, along with 18 blue-chip prospects in total.

Such a talented and deep recruiting class for the Longhorns will likely surface some immediate impact players on the field for key live-game reps right away this fall. And considering how Texas had more than half of its blue-chip recruits in the 2023 class enroll early to get a leg up by participating in spring ball, the Longhorns are primed to see some of these true freshmen make an impact right away this fall.

Moreover, based on which early enrollees got first and second-team reps during spring ball, we can get a good idea of which true freshmen will be best positioned to make an early impact this fall. The true freshmen that can realistically lock down spots on the two-deep depth chart in fall camp will have ample opportunity to get a significant number of live-game reps during the season.
