Texas produced five prospects in this class, while in-state Missouri delivered only one.

The Tigers fill a need at QB by officially signing Taylor Powell out of Arkansas.

The class isn’t highly ranked, but not many Tiger classes over the years have been. Three of the prospects have enrolled early, and will be eligible to participate in spring ball.
