Looks like Steve Sarkisian’s only diet is Gatorade now. After all, the Texas Longhorns have been having back-to-back busy weekends. Sarkisian had to be at his best to impress the high school stars who were visiting the 40 Acres. Last weekend (June 13), the Longhorns welcomed several highly-touted prospects, including 5-star quarterback Dia Bell.
Bell, who is considered one of the top quarterbacks in the country, made a major quadruple move by committing to the University of Texas. This move not only solidifies the Longhorns’ quarterback position for the future, but it also shows the impact that Sarkisian is already having on the recruiting trail.
Bell, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound quarterback from California, had offers from top programs such as Alabama, Ohio State, and USC. But he ultimately chose Texas, citing the opportunity to play for Sarkisian as a major factor in his decision.
Sarkisian, who was hired as the new head coach of the Longhorns in January, wasted no time in making an impact on the recruiting trail. He has already secured commitments from several top prospects, including 5-star wide receiver Evan Stewart and 4-star running back Jaydon Blue.
But it’s not just about the star power that Sarkisian is bringing in. He is also building a strong foundation for the future of the program. Bell’s commitment is a testament to that, as he joins a talented group of young quarterbacks on the Longhorns’ roster.
With Bell’s commitment, the Longhorns now have three 5-star quarterbacks on their roster, including current starter Hudson Card and incoming freshman Maalik Murphy. This not only creates healthy competition within the team, but it also ensures that the Longhorns will have a talented quarterback leading their offense for years to come.
But Bell’s impact goes beyond just his on-field abilities. He has also taken on a recruiting role for the Longhorns, using his social media presence to promote the program and encourage other top prospects to join him at Texas. This kind of leadership and dedication to the program is exactly what Sarkisian is looking for in his players.
Bell’s commitment also speaks to the culture that Sarkisian is building at Texas. He has emphasized the importance of family and brotherhood within the team, and it’s clear that this message is resonating with recruits. Bell’s decision to commit to Texas shows that he believes in the vision that Sarkisian has for the program.
The Longhorns are not done yet on the recruiting trail. With several top prospects still considering Texas, there is a good chance that more big names will be added to the Longhorns’ 2022 recruiting class. And with Sarkisian at the helm, the future looks bright for the Longhorns.
In just a few short months, Sarkisian has already made a major impact on the Texas football program. His ability to recruit top talent and build a strong culture within the team is a testament to his coaching abilities. And with players like Dia Bell leading the way, the Longhorns are well on their way to becoming a powerhouse in college football once again.
So, it looks like Steve Sarkisian’s only diet is Gatorade now. But with the way he is recruiting, it’s clear that he has a taste for success and is determined to bring the Longhorns back to the top. And with players like Dia Bell on board, the future is looking bright for Texas football.
