Texas football and head coach Steve Sarkisian landed their first commitment in the 2025 recruiting class in the midst of the weekend of the Elite Camp on the 40. Texas snagged a commitment from the highly touted and elusive four-star Saraland (AL) quarterback KJ Lacey to start off the 2025 class on a high note.

Lacey announced via social media on the afternoon of June 3 that he committed to Texas over offers from the Alabama Crimson Tide, Auburn Tigers, Florida State Seminoles, and Tennessee Volunteers, among many other highly-regarded Power Five schools.

This commitment from Lacey comes in the midst of his first unofficial visit to Texas of 2023 during the Texas Elite Camp, namely for rising targets in the 2025 and 2026 recruiting classes.
