Noah Roberts Commits to Texas Longhorns

0:00On May 1, Texas Longhorns just snagged a big win for their 2027 recruiting class, with four star running back Noah Roberts committing. On Friday, he's the first tailback pledge for that group, picking Austin over heavy hitters like Oregon and Arizona State. Texas has a storied history of churning out top tier running backs, and Roberts steps in as the next potential star, once guys like Dare Cooperhead, to the pros in a few years. Coming out of Basha High School in Chandler, Arizona, Roberts mirrors the path of Atlanta Falcon standout, Bijan Robinson, who's also in Arizona. Product and former Longhorn, you can toss in ex-Texas back Christian Clark from Phoenix 2, even though he's now at South Carolina. Recruiting keeps heating up as summer rolls in, with Texas building momentum for 2027. This pledge sets the tone for more moves ahead, keeping the horns loaded in the backfield.
