In 2025, Texas may have SIXTEEN players that had a HS 5-star rating!
Believe that would be an all-time high for Texas with players having a HS 5-star rating since the online ratings era began.
QB 5* MANNING OOS
RB 5* BAXTER OOS
WR 5* WINGO OOS
WR 5* LOCKETT
OG 5* CAMPBELL
OT 5* BAKER OOS
SDE 5* JACKSON
IDL 5* TERRY OOS
IDL 5* SHAW OOS
EDGE 5* SIMMONS
LB 5* HILL
LB 5* BARNES
CB 5* PHILLIPS
CB 5* BLACK
S 5* WILLIAMS
S 5* FILSAIME
Everybody above had a 5-star rating by either 247, on3, ESPN or Rivals. Nine 5-star players may start and others will contribute in 2025.
Sark is a better roster builder of elite rated talent than Mack Brown.
Sark is not too lazy to recruit out of state (6 of 16 from OOS).
Edits - Expected new addition UNC transfer Shaw had a 5-star rating as a HS recruit so possibly 18 players. Back down to 17, since 5* Niblack is in the tranafer portal. Ffrench unfortunately lost his 5th star from Rivals so back down to 16. Back up to 17, 6-1 230# Barnes earned his fifth star from on3 after a sub 11 second 100M and a highly productive and disruptive senior season vs top competition. Terry ATH unfortunately lost his fifth star so back down to 16.
