Texas hosted several top 2024 prospects for Junior Day last weekend.

The Longhorns only have two verbal commitments for the 2024 recruiting class at this time in four-star quarterback Trey Owens and four-star athlete Hunter Moddon.

However, Steve Sarkisian’s staff appears to be gaining steam on the recruiting trail over the last few weeks. Five-star wide receiver Micah Hudson received a recruiting prediction in favor of Texas recently, and five-star EDGE Colin Simmons appeared to receive an Arch Manning type of treatment in Austin.

The Longhorns now seem to be in good standing with several of the top rated prospects in the state, along with the nation’s No. 1 running back in the country.

Here’s a look at six priority targets for Texas this cycle.

Five-star EDGE Colin Simmons

  • No. 1 EDGE in the country

  • No. 1 overall prospect in Texas

  • Duncanville, TX native

 

Five-star WR Micah Hudson

  • No. 3 wide receiver in the country

  • No. 2 overall prospect in Texas

  • Temple, TX native

Five-star RB Jerrick Gibson

  • No. 1 running back in the country

  • No. 6 overall prospect in Florida

  • Bradenton, FL native

Five-star CB Kobe Black

  • No. 3 cornerback in the country

  • No. 3 overall prospect in Texas

  • Waco, TX native

Five-star LB Justin Williams
