No. 1 OT in 2026 Recruiting Class Makes Major Announcement
Ricardo B. Brazziell / Austin American-Statesman / USA TODAY NETWORK

Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian and his staff have done a fantastic job on the recruiting trail since arriving in Austin.

The Longhorns landed multiple top-five recruiting classes over the last few years, including the No. 1 overall class in the nation for 2025. Texas appears to be on track for another top-five class this cycle.

After receiving commitments from four-star defensive lineman Vodney Cleveland and five-star edge Richard Wesley over the weekend, Texas now owns the No. 10 overall class in the nation with 15 total commits.

The Longhorns are in good standing with several other priority targets in the class as well, including five-star edge Trenton Henderson and five-star offensive tackle Felix Ojo.

On Monday, On3's Steve Wiltfong reported that Ojo is seemingly focused on two programs at this time: Texas and Ohio State.

“The development factor of both schools and opportunity to play early. Especially Texas. Kelvin (Banks) Just left and Trevor stepped in the role and he’s going to leave," Ojo told Wiltfong.

In regards to NIL numbers, Ojo believes there isn't much difference between his top two schools. "It's pretty even," he said.

Ojo is ranked the No. 1 offensive tackle in the nation for the 2026 recruiting class and No. 2 overall prospect in Texas, according to 247Sports. The Lake Ridge (Mansfield, TX) product has taken official visits to Texas, Ohio State, Michigan, Utah, Ole Miss, Florida, Colorado and Texas Tech thus far.
