The first national signing day for college football begins December 4 and runs through December 6. This series gives you the chance to familiarize yourself with the next class charged with keeping Texas in a position of national prominence. 

To win at a consistently high level means stacking talented class after talented class. The top-five 2025 class does just that following top-six finishes in the 2022, 2023, and 2024 classes.

On the first national signing day, Inside Texas will offer profiles of each member of the 2025 signing class. Up next, Caleb Chester.

The Player: Caleb Chester, CB, Missouri City (Texas) Fort Bend Hightower

The Rating: 87.33 (three-star)

The Ranking: Chester is ranked as the No. 717 overall prospect, the No. 70 cornerback, and the No. 102 player in Texas in the On3 Industry Ranking. On3 ranks Chester as the No. 66 cornerback and the No. 87 player in Texas.

The Highlights:

The Recruitment: Coming from a school in Fort Bend Marshall where players typically commit to Texas A&M, Chester seemed destined to join the Aggies after visiting College Station multiple times. In the end, he chose Texas, where he saw greater opportunities for development.

The Projection: Chester is a long, athletic, and quick-footed corner who can play both field and boundary positions. Standing at 6-foot-2, he matches up well against bigger receivers, giving Texas a versatile piece to deploy based on matchups. Chester doesn’t just rely on his length. His Hudl demonstrates blanket coverage, even on plays where the opposing quarterback has far too much time in the pocket. He’s consistently in phase with the receiver on outside releases and remains sticky when receivers make their breaks. In short, Chester doesn’t leave a lot of room to complete passes and a big part of that is his movement skills.

The Final Word: Chester brings speed and length to the Texas secondary and is expected to make his first impact on special teams. His size and athleticism provide options for the Longhorns to customize defensive strategies against opposing offenses.
