“Texas football can feature a Heisman Trophy-caliber running back or a five-star quarterback transfer. None of it matters if the Longhorns can't block” Longhorns now place big emphasis on 5 star linemen who are huge, tough, and can block according to their website.
The class: No. 5 nationally, right ahead of Penn State and right behind Ohio State; 28 signed with 10 early enrollees
What an offseason. Steve Sarkisian hopes he's fixed, or at least seriously upgraded, his offensive line, which was a season-long issue. The Longhorns need better talent and depth. Two five-star linemen — Devon Campbell, the No. 1 interior line prospect in the country, and Kelvin Banks, the No. 3 tackle — could make a quick impact, and the Longhorns also bolstered their depth, signing seven linemen. Campbell chose Texas over Oklahoma on Wednesday. Fifteen of the 28 signees were linemen (both front lines needed help) and Sarkisian picked his spots at running back and receiver. He even signed the country's No. 4 kicker prospect to replace Cameron Dicker and devoted a scholarship to the nation's No. 1 long snapper. The Longhorns really raided Ohio State this year, flipping top-10 cornerback prospect Terrance Brooks from the Buckeyes in the early signing period, then adding two potential starters via the transfer portal in QB Quinn Ewers and CB Ryan Watts.
