BREAKING NEWS: Longhorns Land Five-Star OT David Sanders Jr., Transforming the Program’s Future
In a massive win for the Texas Longhorns football program, five-star offensive tackle David Sanders Jr. has officially committed to play in Austin. The highly sought-after prospect is widely regarded as the best offensive lineman in the 2025 recruiting class, and his decision sends shockwaves through the college football landscape.
Standing at an imposing 6’6″ and weighing 275 pounds, Sanders brings elite athleticism, technique, and a high football IQ to the Longhorns. A dominant force on the field, he has earned comparisons to NFL greats for his ability to neutralize top-tier defensive linemen. His commitment represents a pivotal moment for head coach Steve Sarkisian and his staff, as they continue building a roster capable of competing for national championships.
Sanders’ choice to join the Longhorns over powerhouse programs like Alabama, Georgia, and Ohio State underscores the growing appeal of Texas under Sarkisian’s leadership. His decision comes at a crucial time as the Longhorns prepare to transition into the SEC in 2024.
“This is a dream come true,” Sanders said in his announcement. “I believe in what Coach Sark and the staff are building at Texas, and I want to be part of something special. We’re going to do big things.”
The addition of Sanders could elevate Texas’ recruiting class to one of the best in the nation, solidifying their offensive line for years to come. With Sanders anchoring the trenches, the Longhorns are poised to re-establish themselves as a dominant force in college football. His commitment is not just a win for the program but a statement that Texas football is back on the rise.
