Texas Longhorns Eye Potential Additions to Dominant 2025 Recruiting Class
The Texas Longhorns are on the verge of closing out what is already the nation’s top-ranked 2025 recruiting class. With National Signing Day set for February 5, the Longhorns have built an unmatched roster of talent, but there’s still a possibility for a last-minute addition.
Currently boasting 25 recruits, Texas’ 2025 class leads the nation, with commitments from three five-stars, 16 four-stars, and six three-stars. No other program has more five-star recruits than the Longhorns, solidifying their standing at the top. While most of the major recruiting moves were finalized during December’s early signing period, one uncommitted player could still join this elite group.
Headlining Texas’ Star-Studded Class
This powerhouse class is headlined by five-star safety Jonah Williams, ranked as the No. 6 player nationally and the top safety in the 2025 class. Williams is expected to make an immediate impact at the collegiate level.
Joining Williams are two other five-star standouts: defensive lineman Justus Terry, the No. 9 player in the class, and wide receiver Kaliq Lockett, ranked No. 16 overall. Together, they provide a strong foundation for what could be a transformative era for Texas football.
At the quarterback position, the Longhorns have secured four-star KJ Lacey, the No. 18 QB in the class and the No. 233 player overall. While not the most high-profile recruit in the group, Lacey adds depth and potential to the future of Texas’ offense.
Could Three-Star LB Javar Thomas Be Next?
One name to watch as Signing Day approaches is three-star linebacker Javar Thomas. The Aldine Nimitz High School product, ranked No. 748 nationally and No. 81 among linebackers, is reportedly considering both Texas and Baylor. While the Bears seem to have a slight edge, the Longhorns are still in the running.
Landing Thomas wouldn’t significantly boost Texas’ class ranking—already locked in at No. 1—but it would provide valuable depth to an already elite group. And as football history has shown, three-star recruits can often develop into NFL-caliber talent with the right coaching and development.
Dominance in 2025 Recruiting Rankings
Texas has positioned itself firmly at the top of the 2025 recruiting rankings, ahead of powerhouses like Georgia, Ohio State, Alabama, and Oregon. Notably, every team in the top 10 hails from either the SEC or Big Ten, further solidifying those conferences’ dominance in the recruiting landscape.
Teams like Alabama and Texas lead the way with three five-star recruits each, while Michigan landed the top overall prospect, quarterback Bryce Underwood, who flipped his commitment from LSU to Michigan in November.
Final Thoughts
While Texas’ 2025 recruiting class appears largely finalized, the addition of Javar Thomas could add yet another piece to an already stellar puzzle. Regardless of any last-minute signings, the Longhorns’ class, led by names like Jonah Williams, Justus Terry, and Kaliq Lockett, ensures that Texas will remain a force to be reckoned with in the coming years.
As we inch closer to Signing Day, the spotlight remains on Texas and the few remaining uncommitted players who could still make waves in an already talent-packed recruiting cycle. Stay tuned, as the Longhorns continue to build a foundation for success both on and off the field.
