A recent rankings update for the 247Sports Composite has shifted the outlook for the 2023 Texas football recruiting class. Texas got their initial commit in their 2023 class by landing a pledge from the elite five-star El Campo running back Rueben Owens.
Landing the commitment from Owens in the Longhorns 2023 class was part of the hot streak that newly hired head coach Steve Sarkisian found on the recruiting trail after he was hired back on Jan. 2. Sark replaced the now former Texas fourth-year head coach Tom Herman and the Longhorns got a much-awaited spark on the recruiting trail in the following couple of months.
