After receiving strong performances on Monday from safeties Xavier Filsaime and Andrew Mukuba, the Texas Longhorns have surged to the No. 2 spot on Rivals’ Comprehensive Team Rankings, which include high school and transfer portal recruiting.
Texas is ranked among the top five recruits by On3, making it coach Steve Sarkisian’s and the Longhorns’ third consecutive top-five class.
According to an expert prediction made by On3’s Corey Bender, a Florida recruiting analyst, the Longhorns will defeat the 2024 five-star McKinney, Texas, safety Xavier Filsaime from the Florida Gators during what has been a busy recruiting month for coach Steve Sarkisian and staff as they also get ready for the College Football Playoff.
Regarding safety, Filsaime is ranked second in the recruiting class of 2024. Kobe Black, a safety from Connally (Waco, Texas), who is ranked as the fourth best in the state, recently committed to the Longhorns on Wednesday.
On November 21, Filsaime paid an unofficial visit to Austin. He is scheduled to return to Forty Acres this Friday, November 21, for an official visit. He made his first commitment on April 1 to Florida.
