Steve Sarkisian and the Texas Longhorns just keep destroying the competition on the recruiting trail. They just brought in the number one overall recruiting class for 2025. They already have their five star quarterback for 2026 and two other offensive pieces around him.

The Texas coach's new deal doesn't lift him above what Swinney or Smart earned in 2024. And Ohio State coach Ryan Day signed a new deal after the Buckeyes won the national championship last season that is set to pay him $12.5 million in 2025, which puts his deal above Sarkisian's on the list of the sport's most lucrative.

According to head coach Steve Sarkisian, his program will pass on hosting a spring game ahead of next season to better focus on preparing a roster of new players for the 2025 season, meaning the next time the Longhorns will take the field will be in late August against Ohio State in Columbus.
