Predicting every pre-signing day 2025 commit for Texas
Texas football recruiting for the 2025 class has hit the final stretch run for this cycle. Texas coaches are hitting the road on the recruiting trail during the bye week this week to visit top targets from the 2025 and 2026 classes all around the country.
How many more blue-chip commitments can Texas football recruiting close out this cycle with for the 2025 class before signing day?
Head coach Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns staff will be traveling literally from coast to coast to see top targets from multiple recruiting cycles during the final bye week of the this 2024 regular season.
Texas is looking to close the 2025 recruiting class strong, just over one month before signing day in early December. Sarkisian and staff have multiple key flip targets and uncommitted recruits from the 2025 class on their radar as they look to put the finishing touches on this cycle over the next five or six weeks.
The Early Signing Period begins Dec. 4, which means it won't be long until late-cycle flip and transfer portal window season arrives around the college football news landscape.
Here's a prediction of every commitment the Longhorns get in the 2025 class entering signing day on Dec. 4.
Kellen Wiley, LB
Texas is throwing its hat in the ring late in the cycle for the highly touted four-star Tampa (FL) Armwood linebacker Kellen Wiley. It was reported on Oct. 30 that Wiley will take official visits to see Texas and the Miami Hurricanes during the month of November.
Wiley will make his official visit to Texas for the Florida Gators game at DKR in Austin on Nov. 9. He will officially visit Miami on Nov. 22.
While the Longhorns and co-DC/LB coach Pete Kwiatkowski are jumping in this recruitment for Wiley late in the cycle, Texas still has a good chance to make up a lot of ground. Miami looked like the clear leader for Wiley's recruitment just a couple of weeks ago.
But the fact that the Longhorns will get him on campus for the biggest remaining home game likely for the 2024 regular season for the Florida game is a big deal. Texas wants to take at least one more linebacker commit in the 2025 class, entering signing day in about five weeks.
