With the NFL Draft just around the corner, multiple Texas players are now projected to be early-round picks, showcasing the strength of the program’s player development under Sarkisian.
Steve Sarkisian Reaffirms Commitment to Texas
Despite the growing national recognition for his coaching success, Steve Sarkisian made it clear in a Monday press conference that he has no intentions of leaving the Longhorns for an NFL coaching job.
“I didn’t come here to put on a hat to say I’m a head coach again,” Sarkisian said. “It was a long journey to get back to this seat. But I came here—to win championships.”
He emphasized his commitment to Texas, stating that his focus remains on building a championship-caliber program. With unfinished business after falling short of a national title in the last two seasons, Sarkisian remains determined to lead the Longhorns to the top.
Texas Looks to Compete for SEC and National Titles in 2025
After an impressive 2024 season that saw Texas reach the SEC Championship Game against Georgia, the Longhorns are expected to be a top contender once again in 2025. Many analysts and oddsmakers view Texas as a legitimate threat to win the national championship, thanks to its strong roster and continued upward trajectory.
With elite recruits, player development success, and a head coach fully locked in on the program’s goals, Texas is positioning itself as a dominant force in college football. As the Longhorns gear up for the 2025 season, the message is clear—Texas is here to compete at the highest level.
