5 key Texas recruits impressed by Junior Day this weekend

Felix Ojo, OT

Four-star Mansfield (TX) Lake Ridge offensive tackle Felix Ojo is one of the top priority offensive line recruits for the Longhorns in-state in the 2026 class. He's been a frequent visitor at Texas and has consistent communication with the coaching staff since last offseason.

Ojo spent a lot of his visit meeting with Texas offensive line coach/offensive coordinator Kyle Flood. He's built a great relationship with Flood and the rest of the Texas coaching staff. Flood and the Longhorns have done a great job making Ojo feel like a top priority for them in the 2026 class for in-state OL recruiting.

"It was a great opportunity to talk to him [Coach Flood] and about the school and all that just like where he sees me in my recruitment. He showed me that I'm a priority and made it clear. "

It's also noteworthy that Ojo spent time talking with the other Texas recruits, namely five-star Fort Lauderdale (FL) American Heritage quarterback commit Dia Bell. Texas's highest-rated commitment in the 2026 class, Bell has mentioned before in interviews that he's trying to recruit Ojo, among other top blue-chip prospects for this cycle, to Texas this offseason.

Bell was one of the busiest and most engaged visiting recruits on campus for the Longhorns this weekend for the Junior Day festivities. This was Bell's first return trip to Texas since last fall, and he made the most of the opportunity to talk with other top Longhorns' targets in the 2026 and 2027 classes during the visit.

He specifically posted multiple times on social media about recruiting other offensive linemen in the 2026 class to the Longhorns.

Bell got to see the Longhorns basketball team pull off a huge comeback victory over the No. 13 Texas A&M Aggies at the Moody Center on Saturday afternoon during his Junior Day visit.
