Why it matters

Landing a commitment from a top-tier running back recruit like Noah Roberts would be a major coup for the Texas Longhorns football program as they look to rebuild and return to national prominence. Roberts' visit will give the coaching staff a chance to showcase the school and program to one of the most sought-after offensive prospects in the 2024 recruiting class.

The details

Roberts, a 6'1" 205-pound running back, is ranked as the No. 4 overall running back and No. 35 player nationally in the 2024 recruiting class.
