National Signing Day Tracker: Who signed with Texas in the early period

The early signing period has arrived for the Texas Longhorns and head coach Steve Sarkisian.

Last season in his first full recruiting cycle, Sark was able to sign a top-five class despite the fact that the team finished 5-7. This year he is aiming for a top-three finish.

The class is headlined by the No. 1 recruit in the country, Arch Manning. The five-star quarterback is expected to lead the next group of players to put on the burnt orange. Joining Manning is five-star wide receiver Johntay Cook II and five-star running back Cedric Baxter Jr. The team recently received a commitment from five-star linebacker Anthony Hill as well.
