Everyone acting like Texas being ranked No. 6 in the 2026 recruiting composite is some kind of disappointment needs to pump the brakes. The Longhorns already have a 5-star QB and a 5-star edge locked in, and that's before the summer visit year really heats up. The narrative that Sarkisian's class is slipping ignores that Texas is in the mix for multiple top-100 prospects who haven't committed yet. The real story is that the SEC and Big Ten are hoarding the top talent, and Texas is right there in the mix with the elite programs. NIL has spread five-stars around more than ever, but Texas is still pulling in the kind of haul that translates to top-5 finishes on signing day. The doom and gloom over being No. 6 in June is laughable.
