After an early signing period that netted Texas the nation's No. 3 recruiting class, head coach Tom Herman and Co. are on the road once again, attempting to solidify the 2018 class prior to national signing day on Feb. 7.

So with one week until the remaining prospects choose their future home, where do the Longhorns stand? Here's what to watch for as national signing day approaches.

Commits expected to sign dotted line

Of the 21 commitments garnered by the burnt orange back in December, 19 of them signed with the program during the early signing period. The two who withheld their signatures before the calendar turned to 2018? Defensive tackle Keondre Coburn and running back Keaontay Ingram.

Longhorn fans shouldn't worry about defections just yet, with both players noting scheduling conflicts as the reason for their delayed signings. Coburn's family wouldn't be able to attend the December signing, and Ingram secured a state championship for Carthage the week of the early signing day.

It should be noted that Coburn has continued to open his recruitment through January, meeting with coaches from Texas A&M and Miami among others. However, projections peg Coburn as likely to suit up for the Longhorns come fall 2018. As for Ingram, he's a sure thing, telling reporters at the All-America Game in Orlando that he's coming to Austin in the fall.

Focus on the interior

After adding a herd of secondary talent in the early signing period, the Longhorns will turn their attention to the defensive front on national signing day. Texas has at least five spots remaining in the 2018 class, and expect a few of those spots to go to defensive linemen.

The top prospect to keep your eye on is defensive end Joseph Ossai. The top-ranked player still available in the state, Ossai has an impressive burst off the edge, able to attack the quarterback with both his hand in the ground or off the line as an outside linebacker. He could help form a fearsome pass rush alongside juniors Breckyn Hager and Charles Omenihu.

With Ossai serving as Texas' primary edge-rushing target, Moro Ojomo will be highly coveted on the interior. Standing at 6-foot-3, 285 pounds, Ojomo projects to be a quality gap plugger at tackle, eating up space as well as opposing running backs. Oh, and he's only 16 years old, with a few years of growth still ahead of him. So while a redshirt may very well be in his future, Ojomo will be a force inside in years to come.

Adding receiver depth

Texas boasted perhaps the most packed receiving room in the Big 12 last year, featuring 10 players with 10-plus catches on the season. But the crowd will thin out a bit in 2018. The Longhorns lose a trio of seniors including Armanti Foreman, and two transfers, junior Chris Warren III and freshman Reggie Hemphill-Mapps. The latter left the program in late January, a season removed from ranking No. 2 on the team in receptions.

The Longhorns addressed their receiving corps in the early signing period, nabbing the nation's No. 10 receiver Brennan Eagles as well as Houston Lamar product Al'Vonte Woodard. But their pursuit of offensive playmakers won't stop before Feb. 7.

The top receiver target for Herman before signing day will be four-star recruit Joshua Moore. With the Longhorns battling Oregon for Moore's services, the nation's No. 96 player per 247Sports will make his decision on Feb. 4. If the burnt orange can nab Moore, they could double down three days later, looking to add slot receiver Lawrence Keys III. The New Orleans native is projected to suit up for either the Longhorns or Notre Dame this fall.
