Texas football landed its “must-get” recruit in the 2024 class earlier this week, with the elite five-star Duncanville edge rusher Colin Simmons committing to UT over the LSU Tigers, Miami Hurricanes, and SMU Mustangs. Now that Texas has landed the No. 1 edge rusher recruit in the nation in the 2024 class, according to the 247Sports Composite and On3 Industry Ranking, it can turn its attention to other top-priority recruits this cycle.
A few top-priority recruits for head coach Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns in the 2024 class to watch heading into the fall are five-star Waco (TX) Connally cornerback Kobe Black, five-star Santa Ana (CA) Mater Dei offensive tackle Brandon Baker and five-star Lafayette (LA) Acadiana defensive lineman Dominick McKinley.
