The Texas Longhorns have made a strong return to the top of college football, led by head coach Steve Sarkisian.
Texas finished the season with a 13-3 record and a 7-1 mark in SEC play.
The Longhorns, after defeating Clemson and Arizona State in the postseason, fell to the Ohio State Buckeyes, the eventual national champions, in the College Football Playoff semifinals.
Following a successful first season in the SEC, Texas received major recruiting news.
On Wednesday, Texas secured a commitment from offensive tackle Max Wright, according to Hayes Fawcett.
“Texas raised,” Wright remarked.
Wright, a three-star recruit, is ranked as the No. 33 offensive tackle and No. 409 overall prospect in the 2026 class by 247Sports.
Prior to committing to Texas, Wright was pursued by several Power Four programs, including Michigan, Arkansas, SMU, Kansas State, and Arizona State.
Wright’s commitment is significant for Sarkisian and his staff, who have developed some of the best offensive lines in the nation, with standout players like Kelvin Banks. Wright, standing 6-foot-7 and weighing 290 pounds, enters with elite size.
