Texas has been on some kind of heater in recruiting.

We knew the class was going to be good. The classes are always good under Steve Sarkisian, but to flip James Johnson from Georgia, land the commitment of five-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson and lure blue-chip running back Derrek Cooper from South Florida in less than a week. It's next-level stuff.

This sort of run proves that Texas can operate at another level on the trail. Sarkisian made a few changes on the staff that have made a difference on the trail.
