With the dead period ending on June 3, the Texas Longhorns are finally allowed to host their first set of visitors since before the COVID-19 Pandemic began over a year ago.

Over the weekend, the first group of those visitors stepped foot on the 40 Acres, including elite 2023 running back, and future SI 99 candidate Rueben Owens, who committed to the Longhorns in February

With more star-powered weekends on the horizon, including this coming weekend of June 11-13, it was critical for Texas to get off on the right foot with this group.

And from the sounds of things, that is exactly what happened, with each recruit coming away with something positive to say about their time in Austin.

LonghornsCountry.com caught up with a few of those prospects to get their impressions of those visits, and what exactly they thought of Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian and his new program.
