After Colt McCoy left the program in 2010, the Texas Longhorns spent much of the next decade trying to find a quarterback who could bring them back to national prominence. In Steve Sarkisian’s second season as Texas head coach, he secured highly-rated recruit and Ohio State transfer Quinn Ewers.
Although Ewers faced challenges in his first season, he led Texas to a Big 12 Championship and the College Football Playoff in 2023. Additionally, the Longhorns secured five-star recruit Arch Manning as Ewers’ successor in the 2023 class.
Known for his strong quarterback recruiting, Sarkisian has already lined up another five-star talent in 2026 recruit Dia Bell, son of former NBA star Raja Bell. Bell, who leads Texas’ 2026 class, announced this week that he’ll participate in the 2025 Under Armour All-America Game.
The game showcases over 100 of the top players in the class, providing the athletes with an opportunity to compete against the best of the best.
