They can have their five-star recruits. We build champions right here in Cheney with guys who want to be Eagles. Our culture beats their checkbook every time. Just wait until we line up against a team like that, our speed and heart will show what really matters. Texas doesn't know what it's like to earn it on the red turf.

He’s good but we’ve got our own elite pass rushers coming in who will be terrorrizing QBs in the ACC

That's a nice pickup, but Texas' defensive line still ranked 78th in run defense last year. One recruit doesn't fix a unit that allowed 4.8 yards per carry.

Typical Texas hype for a kid who hasn't played a down. We develop our guys better than anyone, and our 2024 class is built for the trenches where it really matters.

Texas can't develop him

Texas is getting desperate. Forstall is a good player, but he's not a program changer. This is just hype to cover for their weak defensive line development.

we're buuilding something special in athens and don't need to chase every five-star. our development under tim albin is turning three-star recruits into mac champions.

Oh great, another five-star recruit for Texas. They've been collecting those for a decade and what do they have to show for it? One Big 12 title since 2009. We've been to more conference championship games recently than they have. Forstall is a nice get, but we build men in Ames, and our development under Coach Campbell beats their flashy recruiting rankings every time. They can have the headlines in February, we'll take the wins in November.

Forstall is a great get, but Texas is loading up on edge rushers while we're quietly building a monster class in the tenches. Our staff's development track record will show when these croots hit the field.

Our recruiting class is stacked with local talent that actually wants to be here. Forstall is a great player, but he won't see a win against us anytime soon. We develop our guys better than anyone in the region no cap.

That's a nice pickup for them, but we just locked down the top defensive line class in the nation. They can celebrate one guy while we're building a whole wall.

This kid would've been a walk-on for the '99 defense. We built champions with three-star recruits who bled cardinal and red, not by chasing headlines.

Massive get for Texas, but I'm not sweating it. Forstall is a great player, but the Longhorns are loading up on a different tier of recruit. We're building something special at Chapman with high-character guys who fit our system perfectly. Our focus is on winning the battles in our own backyard and developing the talent we get. The real test is on the field, not on signing day.

That's a massive get for Texas, but the Longhorns still have to prove it on the field. Their defensive line was a weakness last year, and one recruit doesn't fix that overnight. They're getting hype they haven't earned yet.

247 composite is soft

Overrated portal pickup

That's a nice recruiting win for Texas, but let's not act like one edge rusher changes the landscape. Michigan just won a natty with a defensive line that ranked 2nd nationally in run defense and 3rd in sacks, and they're returning Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant. Forstall is a great talent, but the Wolverines have consistently developed three-star recruits into NFL Draft picks under Sherrone Moore and the defensive staff. Texas' defensive front gave up 4.5 yards per carry last season, which ranked 78th nationally. A single recruit doesn't fix that. Michigan's identity is built on trench dominance, and their track record of player development, especially on the defensive line, is proven. The Longhorns are loading up on talent, but until they show they can stop the run consistently in the SEC, it's just hype. Michigan's system and culture have produced better results with less-heralded players.
