The Texas Longhorns appear to be in excellent shape for a pair of 2025 five-star wide receivers.
The next two weeks will be key for Texas Longhorns recruiting.
Before the start of the 2024 season on August 31, the Horns will have many top recruiting targets from the 2025 cycles make college commitments.
Fortunately for the Horns, they appear to be in good condition for a number of those targets, including five-star wide outs Kaliq Lockett and Jaime Ffrench, who both updated On3’s Steve Wiltfong on their recruitment during a recent interview.
What sets the Longhorns apart for both players is Steve Sarkisian and his staff.
“Coach Sarkisian and Coach Jackson. What more can you say about them,” Lockett told Wiltfong. “One came from the NFL, and the other coached with Coach Saban, winning multiple championships and producing multiple Heisman winners and NFL draft picks. Combine that with Coach Tashard Choice, Jeff Banks, and the defensive coaches — that’s a National Championship team right there.”
Lockett, ranked as the No. 17 player nationally and the No. 3 wide receiver in the 2025 class, had 59 receptions for 1,299 yards and 13 touchdowns last season as a junior for Sasche (TX).
He is set to commit on August 7, choosing between Texas, Texas A&M, Alabama, Florida State, and LSU.
Ffrench echoed similar sentiments as Lockett, emphasizing his relationship with Sarkisian and Jackson.
