The Texas football program may not be back as of yet, but they appear to be on their way thanks to a strong recruiting class for the 2022 cycle.
The biggest splash over the last month is generational talent Quinn Ewers signing with Texas. That move has seemingly scared away quarterbacks on the roster. Casey Thompson announced his intentions to transfer days after Ewers signed.
Despite the move to sign Ewers, many believe it would hurt Texas’ chances with 2023 No. 1 overall player and quarterback, Arch Manning.
Prior to the Ewers decision, Texas was viewed as the favorite to land Manning. In an interview with On3, Manning shared his thoughts on Ewers landing at Texas, and how that does not deter him.
“There are going to be good players everywhere. You can’t really look at it based off other players and depth charts. I think you just have to find the best place for you. … He’s a really good player. I stay in touch with him. He’s a good guy. I’m excited to see what he can do this year and hear all about it.”
Sarkisian will make a ton of people happy if he can somehow convince Manning to be the heir to Ewers’ throne. Something like this hasn’t happened since Colt McCoy took over for Vince Young.
Until his decsion, he will still be recruited heavily.
