The Longhorns will likely face a much tougher annual conference schedule as the SEC is widely considered to be the toughest conference in the sport. Their recruiting efforts, however, have increased as they have landed back-to-back top-five classes.

Furthermore, Texas rosters Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning, two of the only three quarterbacks to earn a perfect 100 rating in the history of 247 Sports.
