Third-year Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian takes his third big recruiting step in continuing to shape the Longhorns program in his image on Wednesday as the 22 commits in the 2023 recruiting class are expected to ink their National Letters of Intent, along with the additions of the two pledges from the NCAA transfer portal.
Buoyed by the on-field success of going 12-1, winning the Big 12 title, and earning a spot in the College Football Playoffs for the first time, Sarkisian and his staff were able to make some key additions to the class down the stretch, flipping consensus five-star safety Xavier Filsaime from Florida on Monday and filling two key areas of need from the transfer portal with the pledges of Houston transfer wide receiver Matthew Golden and Clemson transfer safety Andrew Mukuba.
