Texas Football: 3 biggest National Signing Day recruiting misses

Although the 2020 Texas football recruiting class finished out on a high-note, there will always be players that managed to fall through the cracks. Texas snagged two of their four biggest National Signing Day targets, which was much more than originally anticipated. Usually National Signing Day doesn’t deliver four big-time recruiting decisions for a blue blood program like Texas.

But all the coaching turnover that Texas experienced under head coach Tom Herman during the month of December forced the 2020 recruiting class to try and patch itself back together by the time Feb. 5 arrived. Texas lost a good number of its key pieces from the 2020 recruiting class after parting ways with notable assistants like former offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Tim Beck and former defensive coordinator Todd Orlando.
