BREAKING NEWS: Texas Longhorns Land Commitment From Nation’s No. 1 Offensive Tackle Felix Ojo
In a major recruiting victory that could reshape the future of Texas football, the Longhorns have secured a commitment from the nation’s No. 1 offensive tackle, Felix Ojo. The 6-foot-6, 315-pound five-star prospect chose Texas over a host of national powerhouses, including Georgia, Alabama, and Ohio State, giving head coach Steve Sarkisian and his staff a cornerstone piece for the 2025 recruiting class.
With the left tackle position being a top priority for Texas, Ojo was viewed by the coaching staff as a “franchise player”—a rare talent who could step in early and dominate in the trenches. According to Horns247, Texas made Ojo the focal point of their recruiting efforts this spring, and that all-in approach has now paid off in a big way.
Ojo is widely regarded as a game-changing lineman with elite athleticism, strong technique, and a mean streak that offensive line coaches covet. His ability to protect the quarterback’s blind side and anchor the line against SEC-level competition made him a must-get target for the Longhorns. With Texas preparing for the rigors of full-time SEC play, landing Ojo sends a clear message that the Longhorns are serious about building dominance in the trenches.
“This is a huge win for us,” one Texas staffer told Horns247. “Felix is the type of player who changes the trajectory of your offensive line for years. He’s a leader, a technician, and a mauler. We couldn’t be more excited.”
Ojo’s commitment didn’t come easy. The blue-chip tackle had long been courted by top-tier programs, taking multiple visits and weighing all his options carefully. But his experience during his visit to Austin reportedly left a lasting impression. The Texas coaching staff, particularly offensive line coach Kyle Flood and Sarkisian, laid out a detailed development plan, showcased NIL opportunities, and emphasized the family culture within the locker room.
“The feeling I got in Austin was different,” Ojo said in his commitment video. “They made it clear that I’m not just another recruit—I’m someone they’re building around. I believe in what Coach Sark is doing, and I want to be part of that future.”
With Ojo now officially on board, Texas has added a foundational piece to its 2025 class. His presence is expected to have a ripple effect, potentially helping to attract other top-tier offensive and skill-position players to Austin. Recruiting momentum has clearly shifted in Texas’s favor, and Ojo’s commitment is the latest evidence of the Longhorns’ resurgence on the national stage.
Felix Ojo’s decision is not just a win on paper—it’s a massive step forward for Texas’s ambitions in the SEC. The Longhorns got their man, and now the rest of college football is officially on notice.
