A lot of talk is going around right now for Texas football recruiting following a strong stretch of late that put the Longhorns in the top 12 classes in the nation for the 2019 cycle. However, we shouldn’t look too far past this group of solid incoming freshmen from the 2018 recruiting class that wound up forming the third best class in the nation for this past cycle.
With the new redshirt rule put into place by the NCAA this season, freshmen will play an even more intriguing role for the Horns in 2018. The NCAA will now allow a freshman to play up to four games without having to burn a redshirt for an entire year.
