Steve Sarkisian landing elite quarterback recruits has quickly become a trend since his arrival at Texas. First it was landing Quinn Ewers once he opted to transfer from Ohio State. Then it was landing Arch Manning over everyone else. He followed that up by landing Trey Owens during the last cycle and now has four-star KJ Lacey committed for 2025.
You always like to get your signal caller in your recruiting class early and that is exactly what Sarkisian and Texas has done now, as they landed one of top quarterbacks in the country for 2026 in Fort Lauderdale (FL) American Heritage five-star quarterback Dia Bell.
