A recruiting expert is predicting the Texas Longhorns to land a No. 1 prospect in the 2027 class

Sam Spiegelman thinks Steve Sarkisian and his staff have done enough thus far to land Kavian Bryant.

"Rivals’ No. 1 2027 quarterback Kavian Bryant has game-day visits lined up to see top contenders like Florida State, Texas and Texas Tech beginning this weekend," Spiegelman said. "The blue-chipper is aiming to have a commitment in place either during or by the end of his junior season at Palestine (Texas) Westwood.

"Since Steve Sarkisian and A.J. Milwee extended an offer at elite camp in June, the Longhorns have been surging in this recruitment," Spiegelman said. "The Red Raiders are making this a fight, but as visits pick up we view Texas as the team best-positioned for the elite QB."

As a sophomore, Bryant threw for 2,442 yards, 34 touchdowns, and just three interceptions – completing an absurd 82 percent of his passes. He also ran for 709 yards and 11 scores on 12.2 yards per carry. Westwood finished 11-1 and made it all the way to the Texas 3A D-I second round.

Kavian Bryant is also an exceptional basketball player which helps him round out his game as a signal caller.

As a freshman, the 2027 recruit averaged 29.8 points and five rebounds per game – leading Westwood to a 27-9 record and Texas 3A regional semifinal appearance. Last season he jumped to 30.4 points per game and a 22-8 record.

But, his future appears to be destined for the gridiron. 247Sports national scouting analyst Gabe Brooks certainly thinks so.

"High-major two-sport prospect with big offers in football and basketball. Provides excellent playmaking ability with his arm and his legs in the former, along with elite skill and instincts in the latter. Dominant TXHSFB 3A dual-threat QB with enormous production through first two seasons. Adequate height with a lean, athletic build that will carry more mass. Very good functional athlete who consistently extends plays. Made noticeable strides as a passer from freshman to sophomore year and again in a relatively short time from end of sophomore season to the following spring elite camp circuit. Shows touch nuance and encouraging accuracy. Burgeoning velocity. Comfortable throwing on designed or improvised rollouts. More unconventional than some other high-level QBs at this stage, which is not necessarily a negative since he's not a specialist; therefore, possesses immense developmental potential considering multi-sport foundation and all-around athletic profile. Comes from an athletic family, including a former D-I basketball player in his father. Appears to be one of the higher-ceiling QB prospects in the 2027 cycle."
