Updated Big 12 recruiting rankings for 2023 as April comes to a close
Now that spring football has come to a close, the focus shifts to summer conditioning ahead of fall camp.
One aspect of college football that never sleeps, however, is recruiting. Especially with the NCAA implementing the one-time transfer rule, which has already seen a record number of players depart for greener pastures.
The high influx of talent via the transfer portal has impacted the high school ranks significantly. Some programs have opted to go with experienced, immediate contributors at particular positions.
However, there’s no doubt that consistently landing quality recruiting classes will heavily impact the future success of a program. With several new head coaches in the Big 12, it will be interesting to see how the 2023 recruiting class rankings play out.
Oklahoma’s Brent Venables, Texas Tech’s Joey McGuire, and TCU’s Sonny Dykes are amid their first full recruiting cycle with their new program.
Here is an updated look at the Big 12’s 2023 recruiting class rankings after spring ball, according to 247Sports.
