Texas football got its biggest win on the recruiting trail since landing five-star quarterback Arch Manning last summer when it landed a commitment in the 2024 class from the elite five-star Duncanville edge rusher Colin Simmons. You could argue that landing Simmons is more valuable for Texas than getting Manning in the 2023 class last offseason since the elite Duncanville EDGE comes at a big-time position of need for this program.
Head coach Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns put everything into this recruitment to land Simmons over the LSU Tigers, Miami Hurricanes, and SMU Mustangs on Aug.
