Texas Has a Great End to National Signing Day.

Texas’ 2024 recruiting class fell outside the top five, marking the first time since 2021. However, it remains a formidable group, featuring standout talents like edge player Colin Simmons, safety Xavier Filsaime, and wide receiver Ryan Wingo. The class includes a mix of promising 4-star and 3-star prospects. Coach Steve Sarkisian made a significant move by securing Filsaime from Florida in December, strengthening a critical position. Additionally, the Longhorns added two impressive pass rushers, including Duncanville’s standout Colin Simmons and Zina Umeozulu from Allen. Sarkisian expressed optimism about the impact these edge players could have on the team’s pass rush. The class aims to fortify the defense, especially with three Top247 defensive backs from the 2024 class contributing to the secondary. Despite a relatively calm National Signing Day in Austin, the focus now shifts to how these recruits will influence the team, with high expectations due to Texas’ reputation for attracting top talent. The nine recruits in the final Top247 rankings position Texas among the elite in the 2024 cycle, trailing only seven other programs. As Sarkisian concludes his third full-cycle haul, excitement and curiosity surround these incoming players, with the possibility of early playing time for key recruits like Filsaime and Simmons.
