Does UT football have the best roster in the country?
Texas football has slowly but surely been stepping up recruiting efforts in seasons past, partly due to one of the strongest NIL programs in the country. The 2023 UT roster will feature former 5-star QB recruit Quinn Ewers as the starter under-center and several other talented players across the offensive line. Former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has called Texas the most talented team in the nation, which will have expectations sky-high in Austin this season.
