The Texas Longhorns have all eyes set on what should be an exciting and expectation-filled 2026 season this fall.

But while the focus remains on getting ready for what lies ahead, the Texas coaching staff is still making sure to stay busy on the recruiting trail. Texas will have some major opportunities ahead to impress some top recruits during gamedays in Austin this fall, including in Week 2 against the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Already set to be a star-studded event, the Longhorns just added a significant name to their visitor list for that weekend.

No. 1 WR Brysen Wright Schedules Visit With Texas

Texas will host the No. 1 wide receiver in the 2028 class, Brysen Wright, for a visit on the weekend of Sept. 12 when the Longhorns play Ohio State, per reports from Rivals.

This will mark the second time he's visited Texas, as he took a trip to the Forty Acres this past April.

Wright also has a visit scheduled with the Florida Gators for Sept. 26.

A product of Mandarin High School in Jacksonville, FL., the short trip over to Gainesville is an easy travel situation, which makes it notable that he's going out of his way to check out the Longhorns in Austin once again.

Brysen Wright is One of The Best Prospects in Recent Years

Wright is the No. 1 overall player in the 2028 cycle in 247Sports' composite rankings and has yet to make a commitment. The scary part? He's only going to get better.

Standing at nearly 6-4, 215 pounds, he's already got SEC-ready size along with receiving versatility to go with it. Texas will need to use the upcoming visit as another opportunity to strengthen the relationship with him as teams around the country start adding more commits to their 2028 classes.

Wright has received offers from teams like Notre Dame, Oregon, LSU, Ohio State, Alabama, Missouri, Georgia, Miami, Texas A&M, Colorado, Louisville, Auburn and many more. Unsurprisingly, the list goes on and on.

Over the past two seasons, Wright has posted 77 catches for 1,629 yards and 18 touchdowns. His upcoming 2026 campaign will certainly be one that coaches and fans alike will have eyes on as Wright looks to further prove why he's the best player in the 2028 cycle.
