In the annual spectacle of National Signing Day, this year's local football talents have certainly left a mark – especially for powerhouses like the University of Texas at Austin.

San Antonio's finest have joined the ranks.  A smattering of San Antonio's high school stars from institutions such as Smithson Valley and Steele, among others, were spotlighted by KSAT during the signing events. 

The Texas Longhorns have corralled a 22-member class that's shaping up to make them forces to be reckoned with on the gridiron. Inside Texas reveals that the class features a mix of three five-stars, 15 four-stars, and four three-stars, which includes a punter – a group currently ranked No. 5 in the On3 Team Rankings. Among the signees is Freddie Dubose, a wide receiver from San Antonio's own Smithson Valley, whose decision was closely followed throughout the day.

The Inside Texas coverage extends beyond the typical roster updates and incoming freshmen. It provides a personal touch, inviting fans to get to know the athletes who they will be likely cheering for in the seasons to come. From Jerrick Gibson, a running back hailing from Florida's IMG Academy, to the local defensive talent of Xavier Filsaime from McKinney, Texas, the platform introduces each new Longhorn to their future fan base.
