The Texas Longhorns just landed another elite quarterback recruit

Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian has done a tremendous job of making his program attractive to top quarterback recruits again.

The Longhorns once boasted Vince Young and Colt McCoy, and now their quarterback room features Quinn Ewers, a likely top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, as well as former five-star recruit Arch Manning — the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning.

Talent begets talent, so it’s no surprise that Texas is adding another elite quarterback prospect to its ranks. This time it’s five-star 2026 quarterback Dia Bell from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (American Heritage High School).

Bell announced his commitment to Texas on Monday, choosing the Longhorns over the likes of LSU, Penn State and many others. He boasts nearly 40 offers to date.
