The first commit of the 2023 Texas football recruiting class arrived on the night of Feb. 25, in the form of the elite five-star running back hailing out of El Campo, TX, Rueben Owens. At this point in time, landing the commitment from Owens means that Texas is getting the top ranked prospect out of the state of Texas as their initial prospect in the 2023 class.
This El Campo High School product gives newly hired head coach Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns one of the few programs that has a commit in their 2023 class as of the night of March 2.
