The Texas Longhorns continue to build a formidable 2025 recruiting class, staking their claim as a national powerhouse under head coach Steve Sarkisian. With a focus on size, speed, and versatility, Texas is assembling a group of high-caliber athletes who align with the team’s long-term vision of competing for championships in the SEC.
At the top of the class is five-star wide receiver Michael Terry III out of San Antonio. Standing at 6-foot-3 and boasting elite speed and route-running ability, Terry is widely regarded as one of the best pass-catchers in the nation. He chose Texas over offers from Georgia, Alabama, and Ohio State, citing Sarkisian’s offensive system and the program’s culture as deciding factors.
In the trenches, Texas has locked in several key commitments. Four-star offensive lineman Jordan Jones from Denton Ryan brings a powerful, athletic presence to the offensive front. His commitment strengthens a unit that is central to Sarkisian’s vision of a balanced, physical offense. On the defensive side, four-star edge rusher CJ Williams from Houston is another gem. Known for his explosiveness off the line and relentless motor, Williams is expected to be a disruptive force in the SEC.
Quarterback play remains a central focus, and Texas has secured a commitment from top-10 signal caller Malik Brown from California. Brown’s strong arm, mobility, and football IQ make him a prototypical modern quarterback. His commitment solidifies the Longhorns’ future under center, with the potential to compete for playing time early in his career.
Texas is also making noise in the secondary with commitments from a trio of athletic defensive backs, including four-star corner Jalen Thompson from Florida. Thompson’s speed, instincts, and man coverage skills fit perfectly with Texas’ defensive scheme.
Recruiting momentum is high, thanks in part to Texas’ recent success on the field and a renewed energy around the program. Sarkisian and his staff continue to dominate in-state recruiting battles while pulling elite talent from across the country. With a top-five class already forming and more high-profile targets still considering Texas, the Longhorns are poised to enter the 2025 season with one of the most talented and complete rosters in college football.
