It’s been a wild recruiting cycle.
Among several sudden coaching staff changes across the country, we’ve also witnessed the impact that NIL will have on the recruiting trail. The one-time transfer rule, where a player is now immediately eligible at their next stop, has also played a part.
For Texas in particular, they’ve been able to put together a solid 2022 class after an underwhelming 5-7 season. Steve Sarkisian’s first full recruiting class with the Longhorns currently ranks No. 5 in the nation according to 247Sports.
There were a few bumps in the road along the way.
Several players that were once members of Texas’ class have since signed elsewhere. The biggest name is five-star wide receiver Evan Stewart, who was committed to Texas for roughly one month earlier in the year, but Texas A&M ended up winning out in the end.
Take a look at where each decommit from Texas landed during the early signing period.
Evan Stewart – WR – Texas A&M
Jamarion Miller – RB – Alabama
Armani Winfield – WR – Baylor
Jaylon Guilbeau – CB – Texas
Eoghan Kerry – LB – Colorado
Anthony Jones – ATH – Oregon
Phaizon Wilson – WR – Unsigned
Kobie McKinzie – LB – Oklahoma
