Texas Football: 5 key recruits impressed by Longhorns win over BYU
Texas football and head coach Steve Sarkisian came away from Week 10 with an impressive 35-6 win over head coach Kalani Sitake and the BYU Cougars. In the lone meeting between Texas and BYU as conference foes, the men in Burnt Orange got the job done with a complete performance this weekend.
The win over BYU moves Texas to 7-1 (4-1 Big 12) heading into the final month of the regular season. The Longhorns are in a good spot heading into the stretch run this fall, well within striking distance of a spot in the Big 12 Championship Game and a berth in the College Football Playoff.

Sark and the Longhorns staff are also reaping the rewards of the success they’ve found on the field this fall with more interest on the recruiting trail from top targets in the 2024, 2025, and 2026 classes.

Most of the highlighting blue-chip recruits who visited for the Longhorns’ win over BYU this weekend were highly touted prospects from the 2025 class. And one of the highest-rated 2025 visiting recruits for the Longhorns this weekend came away from the Texas visit with an offer.
High-four-star North Palm Beach (FL) The Benjamin School edge rusher Amaree Williams made his first gameday visit to DKR to see Texas handily defeat BYU this weekend. Williams posted on Twitter/X after Texas’ win over BYU on Oct. 28 that he had officially received an offer from the Longhorns.
Williams told 247Sports director of recruiting Steve Wiltfong following the Texas visit (paid content) that the “fan base was off the charts” and that he enjoyed watching the “defense dominate the field”. He also told 247Sports that he and Texas co-defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Pete Kwiatkowski “speak often” despite him getting the offer just this weekend.
