The first national signing day for college football begins December 20 and runs through December 22. 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 2024 class does just that following top-five finishes in the 2022 and 2023 classes.
On the first national signing day, Inside Texas will offer profiles of each member of the 2024 signing class. Up next, Trey Owens.
The Player: Trey Owens, QB, Cypress (Texas) Cy-Fair
The Rating: 89.46 (four-star)
The Ranking: Owens is ranked as the No. 372 overall prospect, the No. 24 quarterback, and the No. 62 prospect in Texas in the On3 Industry Ranking. On3 ranks him as the No. 25 quarterback and No. 57 prospect in Texas.
The Highlights:
The Recruitment: Owens picked up junior year offers from Baylor, Washington State, Texas Tech, SMU, and Houston among others, but once the Longhorns offered in November of 2022 they surged to the top of Owens’ list. The 6-foot-5, 205-pounder committed ahead of the Longhorns’ first 2023 junior day and has been a steady recruiter for the class of 2024 ever since.
The Projection: Owens is an excellent fit for Steve Sarkisian’s play-action passing offense and will need the development time the presence of Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning will afford to him before he’s contending to see the field. He could function as Texas’ third-string quarterback during his freshman season in Austin.
The Reasoning: “I feel like the environment is like nowhere else, and the fact that they are moving to the SEC plays a big factor as well. They checked all the boxes for me and there was no reason for me to wait. ”
The Enrollment: Owens will enroll early.

The Final Word: After the Manning take in 2023, Texas needed to find the right type of quarterback who understood what the room looked like but was anxious to develop and compete beginning in 2024. Sarkisian and AJ Milwee found that in Owens. Learn more about Owens via his quarterback trainer JP Tillman.
