Steve Sarkisian revamped the Texas offensive line. The players recruited before him lead it.

Steve Sarkisian saw a glaring problem when he took the Texas job in January 2021 - his inherited roster had more scholarship wide receivers than offensive linemen. The Longhorns couldn’t even hold a traditional spring game that year because they didn’t have enough large humans.

So Sarkisian and offensive coordinator Kyle Flood revamped recruiting in the trenches to build Texas in the mold of an SEC roster. They signed 12 offensive linemen in the 2022 and 2023 recruiting classes, including five-star starters Kelvin Banks Jr. and DJ Campbell.
