This past October, the Texas Longhorns and former head coach Tom Herman took a major hit on the recruiting trail, when No. 1 overall recruit quarterback Quinn Ewers de-committed from the university.
That loss was made even more painful when Ewers made a commitment to Ryan Day and the Ohio State Buckeyes, seemingly ending the Longhorns chances at finding their next elite star quarterback.
It was also a loss that, at the time, seemed both devastating and insurmountable, as Texas’s season began to slip away, and their recruiting momentum came to a grinding halt.
That all changed, however, when Texas moved on from Herman and hired former Alabama offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian (who has since hired a number of other former Alabama assistants) as its new head coach.
