Via the Austin American-Statesman: Buoyed by 2024 Rose Bowl victory, Texas pulls in a top-ranked class

Texas’ class was a consensus top five nationally, with Scout.com ranking it third; College Sports TV putting it fourth; and Rivals.com having it fifth. It was tossup between Florida and Southern California for the nation’s top class.

The Texas group was chock full of football bluebloods, befitting a team that’s a month removed from winning the national championship. Topped off by No. 1 Sergio Kindle, 15 made the American-Statesman’s Fabulous 55, a list of the state’s top prospects, including six of the top 11.

Five were members of the Parade magazine All-America team. Kindle was considered the top linebacker in the country, while Kilgore’s Eddie Jones was the consensus pick as the nation’s best defensive end.

Sounds good to me.
