- NCAA. Deion Sanders' bold move: Will he snatch top defensive recruit from Auburn?
- NCAA. Arch Manning just dropped his Super Bowl pick and it's not who you think
With National g Day just around the corner, Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian isn't slowing down in his relentless pursuit of talent. Fresh off a College Football Playoff appearance, the Longhorns are already bringing in the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation-but Sarkisian wants more.
Despite losing key players like Jahdae Brown, Matthew Golden, Isaiah Bond, and Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas remains one of the most stacked teams in the country.
With Arch Manning poised to take the reins at quarterback, the Longhorns are setting their sights on a championship run. But first, they have their eyes on three remaining prospects who could bolster their already impressive roster.
Zahir Mathis: The Elite Edge Rusher on the Market
A former Ohio State commit, Zahir Mathis is the top-ranked edge rusher still available. Standing at 6-foot-6 and 225 pounds, Mathis has the size and speed to be a game-wrecker at the next level. While Florida State, Maryland, and UCLA are reportedly in the mix, Texas could make a last-minute push to land the dynamic defender.
AJ Tuitele: The Linebacker Battle Between USC and Texas
The 3-star linebacker from Mojave High School initially committed to Washington State before reopening his recruitment. Now, it's a two-team race between USC and Texas. The Trojans seem to have the upper hand, but with g Day fast approaching, the Longhorns could still flip the Las Vegas prospect.
Javar Thomas: A Texas-Baylor Showdown
Another 3-star linebacker, Javar Thomas, is deciding between Baylor and Texas. The Aldine Nimitz High School product has the raw talent to develop into a key piece for whichever program lands him. While Baylor is currently leading the race, Sarkisian and his staff are making a late push to bring him to Austin.
With National g Day just hours away, Texas is still in the hunt to add even more firepower. Can Sarkisian pull off a last-minute recruiting coup? Longhorns fans won't have to wait much longer to find out!
