Texas’ 2023 recruiting train has officially taken off.
After a fairly slow start to the summer, Steve Sarkisian and his staff have just landed their third commitment of the week, this time on the defensive side of the ball.
Four-star linebacker Liona Lefau is jumping on board Texas’ 2023 recruiting class. The Hawaii product chose the Longhorns over Pac-12 powers Oregon, USC and Utah.
247Sports ranks Lefau as the No. 1 player from Hawaii and the No. 16 linebacker in the nation. The commitment moves Texas’ class ranking firmly inside the top 20 in the country.
Lefau is a major pull for Pete Kwiatkowski and Jeff Choate as the linebacker spot is a position of need for Texas. He is an uber-athletic linebacker with strong sideline-to-sideline speed.
Texas’ recent recruiting surge has had social media buzzing all week. The Longhorns are catching the attention of everyone in the college football world. Here is how Twitter reacted to Lefua picking Texas on Saturday afternoon.

These are LBs that usually sign with Utah and do well under Kyle Whittingham.

Would encourage all Texas fans to look at his HUDL.
It's a clinic on sideline to sideline controlled violence. He's the prototype of what you want in a 3-down LB.
Absolute monster.

Huge pick-up for Jeff Choate, Jake Langi and the #Longhorns. Liona tells me he actually committed to Texas on Thursday but waited until today to announce. Chose UT over Utah and Oregon.
Liona says he's ready to blaze his own path and start a Hawaii to Texas pipeline. #HookEm pic.twitter.com/4AqxYnQVMz
