Texas, Utah Land Top Recruits in 2026 Football Class

The Texas Longhorns continue to strengthen their football recruiting class with key visits and commitments, notably securing an official visit from elite five-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson, previously scheduled for Ohio State, enhancing Texas' position against national rivals. Texas also landed a verbal commitment from three-star wide receiver Kohen Brown, who after decommitting from USC, has firmly committed to the Longhorns and is highly rated for his speed and route-running. Meanwhile, Texas A&M secured a commitment from four-star offensive tackle Samuel Roseborough, who chose the Aggies over Texas and other major programs, signaling strong competition in Texas recruiting. Utah's football program is also active, with new running back commit LaMarcus Bell helping recruit top-ranked five-star offensive lineman Felix Ojo, who has canceled a visit to Oklahoma in favor of Utah and other programs. Texas Tech remains engaged in recruitment, with cornerback Luke Bell expressing strong belief in the program's future and praising the hospitality and support from current players and coaches. These developments highlight the intense recruiting battles among Texas and other major college football programs as they vie for top high school talent.
