by:
Nick Kosko




QuoteFormer Arizona defensive lineman Tiaoalii Savea signed with Texas



Savea entered the transfer portal earlier this month. He is now on his third school after starting his career at UCLA.

As a member of the Class of 2021, Savea was a four-star recruit out of Las Vegas (Nev.) Desert Pines.

In two years with the Wildcats, Savea made 19 appearances. He played in 12 of Arizona's games this season, tallying 22 tackles, six tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks

Texas trending for coveted in-state wide receiver Kelshaun Johnson

by:
Keegan Pope




QuoteTexas is already off to one of the hottest starts in the 2025 recruiting cycle nationally, with five early commitments by the end of January.

That includes one of the nation's top quarterback prospects, K.J. Lacey. And now Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns are looking to add playmakers around him. Texas already has commitments from four-star athlete Lance Jackson and four-star tight end Emaree Winston, but they're trending to add one of the top receivers in the state as well.

The Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM) heavily favors the Longhorns for Houston (Texas) Hitchcock four-star wideout Kelshaun Johnson. That follows an expert prediction from recruiting insider Gerry Hamilton

Texas trending for 4-star RB Rickey Stewart Jr. after SMU decommitment

by:
Keegan Pope




QuoteTyler (Texas) Chapel Hill four-star running back Rickey Stewart Jr. decommitted from SMU on Wednesday, and the Texas Longhorns have quickly become the team to beat.

He was pledged to the Mustangs since June 11 over the likes Oregon, Michigan, Alabama and the Longhorns. Stewart, however, wanted to re-evaluate his options and chose to reopen his recruitment.

"I am thankful for SMU offering me a chance to be a part of their program, but I need to take more time to focus on making the best decision for my future, therefore I am opening up my commitment," Stewart wrote.

Bond, Isaiah Bond

Steve Sarkisian calls Alabama transfer WR Isaiah Bond 'electric'
by:
Griffin McVeigh




QuoteQuinn Ewers might be returning for another season but his receiving weapons are all leaving the program. Texas will be losing its top three WRs plus tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders, leaving Steve Sarkisian with the job of restocking the room. Mission was certainly accomplished through the NCAA transfer portal, with Isaiah Bond being the top addition.

Sarkisian spoke out on Bond for the first time Wednesday:

"Electric receiver for us," Sarkisian said. "Guy that we recruited hard out of Buford High School in Georgia. Went to Alabama and had a tremendous year for them this year. Great deep ball player, deep threat, elite speed. We think there's more to his game than just that."

Bond will forever be remembered in Tuscaloosa for what he did in Auburn this past season, pulling off the 4th and 31 miracle in the Iron Bowl. He also made a huge play in the SEC Championship game against Georgia on a fourth down, leading to an Alabama touchdown in the first half.

Longhorns Recruiting: 2025 commit breakdown
by:
Hunter Shelton




QuoteTexas once again cashed in on the recruiting trail, landing a top-10 class in the 2024

Texas currently has the No. 8 class in the nation — which also checks in at No. 3 in the SEC and No. 1 in The Lone Star State.

Texas Class Breakdown
The class was kicked off with a bang back in June, as Saraland (Ala.) four-star quarterback K.J. Lacey pledged to the Longhorns.

"So some of the main things that stood out to me about Texas were how much they value relationships," Lacey told On3 upon his commitment.

Lacey has since been flanked by four others since December. Calhoun (Ga.) four-star tight end Emaree Winston and Melbourne (Fla.) Eau Gallie four-star defensive lineman Brandon Brown committed to UT on back-to-back days.

Pearland (Texas) Shadow Creek three-star EDGE Anthony Williams and Texarkana (Texas) Pleasant Grove four-star athlete Lance Jackson each pledged in January to add some in-state defensive flair

Dia Bell visits Texas

Possible commitment looms

by:
Keegan Pope



QuoteSigning Day is more than 20 months away for Class of 2026 prospects, but Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) American Heritage four-star quarterback Dia Bell is off and running in his recruitment.

Our nation's top junior signal-caller is in the midst of a slate of visits that includes Miami, LSU, Texas, Pittsburgh, Penn State, West Virginia, Auburn, and North Carolina during the months of March and April.

On Tuesday, Bell — who is the son of former NBA standout Raja Bell —



Commitment will come when he has that 'gut' feeling
Not many signal-callers in the 2026 class are pledged to a school at this time. But with some quarterback recruits locking in their spots with schools early on, Bell has considered an early commitment.

He is discussing a timeline with his parents and is looking at multiple options —
