Arch Manning and Johntay Cook are taking over recruiting duties for Texas

Texas’ top 2023 commitments are leading the charge in recruiting their top remaining targets.

Saturday morning, Gerry Hamilton of Inside Texas detailed who Johntay Cook is recruiting the strongest.

With quite a few Texas targets set to make commitments soon, one has to wonder what role Johntay Cook and Arch Manning have played in those decisions.

Four of the top five uncommitted prospects in Texas could make commitments ahead of the 2022 season. Texas is squarely in the running for each of those program-elevating players.

Additionally, top out-of-state running back Cedric Baxter Jr. will announce his commitment Wednesday, August 10.

Recruiting pitches from five-star talents like Manning and Cook likely carry more meaning than those from other recruits. Certainly, both players’ film matches their respective ratings.

Texas will keep a close eye on high four-star cornerback Malik Muhammad, who is set to commit Wednesday, July 20.

Muhammad’s connection with Johntay Cook could help bring Texas over the top. The elite cornerback from South Oak Cliff is the No. 5 cornerback and No. 50 overall player in the On3 consensus.
