The Texas Longhorns’ first day in the Southeastern Conference went as well as anyone could have hoped as Steve Sarkisian and company picked up another massive addition to the 2025 recruiting class. The Longhorns already held a Top 15 class in the cycle, but after landing a four-star EDGE Smith Orogbo’s commitment, Sarkisian has to feel pretty good about the future.
Orogbo is a Houston, TX native so keeping him in state was always a massive priority for the Texas staff with the Oklahoma Sooners and Washington Huskies being the other leading contenders. On3 rates Orogbo as the No. 26 player in the class and the No. 3 EDGE with one of the highest upsides of anyone in the class as he didn’t start playing football until his freshman year of high school.
If you want to survive in the SEC, you have to have elite pass rushers and Texas has gone heavy in the last two recruiting cycles with Orogbo now as well as Colin Simmons, Zina Umeozulu, and Lance Jackson.
