5 key recruits impressed by Texas's dominance vs. Florida
Texas football had one of the last major visit weekends of this fall on campus for the dominant 49-17 win over the Florida Gators at DKR in Austin this past Saturday. Texas was very impressive with a complete-team win over a Gators squad that has really been hampered by injury issues this fall, in the 32-point win at home on Nov. 9.
Big win over Florida leaves an impression on multiple Texas football visiting recruits in Week 11
After the win over Florida last weekend, the Longhorns only have one more home game this regular season to host visiting recruits. The final home game of the regular season for the Longhorns is on Nov. 23 against the Kentucky Wildcats.
For the Florida game, Texas hosted multiple key 2025 recruits who have emerged as late-cycle flip targets. Texas also had multiple commitments from the 2025 and 2026 classes, not to mention a host of key uncommitted targets for the 2026 cycle, on campus visiting last weekend.
Here are five key recruits for the Longhorns impressed by the convincing win over Florida in Week 11.
Graceson Littleton, CB
Since Texas offered him a couple of weeks ago, the highly touted four-star Tampa (FL) Wiregrass Ranch cornerback Graceson Littleton made his first visit to Austin for the Florida game last weekend. Littleton has officially visited Texas and the Michigan Wolverines in the past couple of weeks, which caps a pretty wild two weeks for the blue-chip DB from the Sunshine State.
Littleton decommitted from the Clemson Tigers on Nov. 1. Texas and Michigan have both made significant pushes on the recruiting trail to Littleton to appeal to him before signing day next month.
On3's Chad Simmons reported that Littleton enjoyed his trip to Austin. He specifically mentioned the life in the city of Austin, the facilities, and the coaching staff's pitch to him among the aspects of the Texas official visit that really caught his attention last weekend.
"It was nice in Austin. I’ve never been there before, so I didn’t exactly know how it would be. I didn’t realize that the facility was in the downtown area. The culture was good. It was nice to get around some of the current players and hear their views on the program."
- Graceson Littleton
Texas made a big move with Littleton since the official visit wrapped up roughly 48 hours ago. Multiple industry experts and analysts have entered forecasts in the past 24 hours or so, projecting Littleton's commitment to the Longhorns.
But it sounds like this will be a battle on the trail that could go right down to the wire for Littleton's commitment going into signing day on Dec. 4.
