Several social media posts from the football program’s official account and from Texas’ early enrollees themselves have made their way into the public eye as most members of the Longhorns’ No. 10 ranked signing class get settled in their dorms and with their schedule.

Note: Nicolas Robertson was the only player not listed as an early enrollee when Texas announced its class on national signing day.
