In a shocking power move, Texas football general manager Brandon Harris has secured a massive contract extension, propelling him among the highest-paid front office figures in college football. Though the deal’s exact details remain under wraps, the extension solidifies Harris’ key role in shaping the Longhorns’ future.
Harris, who stepped into the GM role in February 2024, was previously the program’s recruiting director since 2021 under head coach Steve Sarkisian. Their strong partnership has been vital to the program’s success, with Sarkisian praising Harris for his ability to think and execute with a shared vision.
A former star quarterback at LSU, Harris brings a wealth of experience to the GM position, overseeing crucial elements like roster management, NIL deals, and agent negotiations. His leadership is already making waves as Texas boasts the top-ranked recruiting class in the nation for the first time ever, according to 247Sports.
Under Harris’ guidance, the Longhorns made bold moves in the December transfer portal, adding top-tier defensive players like Travis Shaw (North Carolina) and Cole Brevard (Purdue). With Texas replenishing its talent pool after 11 players entered the 2024 NFL draft, Harris’ extension signals a powerful commitment to sustained success and dominance in college football’s competitive landscape.
This game-changing move sets the stage for a new era of Longhorn football, with Harris and Sarkisian ready to elevate the program to new heights. The future looks brighter than ever for Texas!
