Good news as that needed to happen.

You can't expect a kid to make a blind commitment having never been on campus.

wonder what scouts may stop by the cibolo steele spring game on may 28. they will be there to look at mark jackson primarily if they are there although this year's team may be the best one steel has ever fielded (including the one that won the state title with malcolm brown and tommy armstrong-who has a younger brother playing TE for Steele).

Per OrangeBloods, Texas has offered 2017 OL Walker Little of Bellaire Episcopal:

LSU offered DE/LB Rahssan Thornton of Killeen Shoemaker today.

[Bloeddyr10]

Alabama offered 2017 DE Lagaryonn Carson right after Texas.

By the way, he is the younger brother of A&M RB Tra Carson.

He is actually the cousin of Tra Carson and Baylor WR Davion Hall. Brian Perroni thought him and Tra Caron was brothers, but he says they are cousins now.

Quote from 2017 five-star RB JK Dobbins of La Grange (24/7):

“I’ve always been a big Texas fan,” Dobbins said. “My whole family loves Texas too. They’ve been pushing me to go there. But I have to get an offer first. Really, it was my dream school growing up, and it’s still a dream school. I hope I do get the offer.”

Update on 2017 OL Walker Little after receiving a UT offer (24/7):

"I was extremely excited," Little said. "I'm just so happy right now. I felt so relieved to finally get an offer. It's huge. It just means a lot to know that from the very beginning they think I have the potential to play at the next level."

"They definitely have been at the top before I even started playing football," Little said. "They're still up there with some of the other schools and even more now that they've offered."

Tevin Mack arrived in Austin around midday on Friday for his unofficial weekend visit to check out the Longhorns, and according to Mack’s mother Paula, everything has been a big thumbs up for the 6-6 Dreher scoring machine.

Update on S Brandon Jones of Nacogdoches (OrangeBloods):

"Pretty much (the visits are) just because I have some time on my hands," Jones explained. "I just want to be able to visit some of the Texas schools that I have interest in. My plan is to knock out Texas schools, then this summer go out far to schools like Mississippi, LSU, Alabama, things like that."

"Honestly, I'm just trying to make it through this year. Then I plan on having a top six. I've tried to make a to five but really couldn't get it down to five," Jones said. "I plan on releasing a top six pretty soon, maybe in June or July and then I'll go from there."

"Me and coach (Charlie) Strong, coach (Chris) Vaughn, we've all been trying to set up a visit for a while. I had some free time during May, so we were trying to work around their schedule and my schedule as well," Jones said. "I'll be down there this weekend, arrive Friday, stay until Sunday. I'll see the campus on Saturday. I'm really looking forward to it."

"Hopefully I can just meet some of the players. Also, I want to take the time to actually meet every coach one on one, find out the full story of what they're about," Jones said. "Then also just learn a little about the academics, always keep that in mind, just have a great time overall."

"I actually just got off the phone with coach Strong a few minutes ago," Jones said. "My schedule is really busy, I usually don't even (direct message) coaches back because I'm so busy. I read through them, but coach Strong will DM me in the morning or afternoon, say 'Hey call me tonight if you're free.' So we kind of have that worked out. Today, all we talked about basketball, the playoffs."

"Honestly, down here, it's pretty biased. I don't know how it happened, but half Nacogdoches is A&M, half Texas. That's all I hear all day, every day," Jones said. "My mom is a big help and my coaches. But I'm an individual guy, I like to think of me being at a place for four years. My mom won't be there, neither will my coaches. So it's kind of an individual thing too."

[TFloss32]

OrangeBloods saying 2017 LB Baron Browning of Kennedale should be stopping by the football offices this weekend while he's in town for the state track meet.

He would likely receive an offer once he stops by as he did not make it to Austin for the spring game.

[TFloss32]

Per OrangeBloods, the UT coaches will see OL Patrick Hudson of Silsbee this week.

[TFloss32]

CB Jaylon Jones from Allen talks about UT after they visited his school recently (OrangeBloods):

"When they came to see me and Levi (Onwuzurike) last week, I think that's when they realized how interested I was," Jones said. "I think I'm going to call coach Norvell this week, set up a visit to go to Austin sometime soon."

"Without them even knowing, I was going to visit and let them know about me. I didn't have to, and they came to watch practice and my coach kind of let them know," Jones said. "That's what I was planning on doing, but since they came and I actually got his number, so I know who to call."

"I practice 100 percent every day. But sometimes I really don't even see the coaches. Some of my teammates will be like, 'Is he here for you?' and then I'll see them," Jones said. "But it really doesn't change anything. I'm always going hard, it's an every day thing for me."

"I'm not about to trim it. With schools like Texas that are good schools that I can see myself at, I don't want to trim things down, then they come in after and it messes things up," Jones said. "So I'm slowing things down a little."

"Being close to home doesn't really mater that much but it's Austin, it's close. Charlie Strong, I see him turning that program around," Jones said. "It's a defensive program, and what really stands out is the after life, the alumni, getting a degree from Texas is big. So definitely the life after college."

Quotes from 2017 DE LaGaryonn Carson of Texarkana Liberty-Eylau (24/7):

“I didn’t get to talk to Coach Traylor too much after he visited,” Carson said. “But I talked to him on the phone afterwards, and he just told me that I had an offer. He told me that they have a great program and that the academics would benefit me.”

“It feels good to be getting all of these offers,” he said. “I’ve been working hard to try to get them. It was surprising. I had no idea they were coming, then they all came at once. I got like five in the same week. It’s crazy, but I have to keep working.”

“I like Texas,” Carson said. “I think they would make me work harder and help me become a better player. My top four right now are Texas, Texas A&M, Alabama and Baylor.”

"I've been Hooking 'Em all week," Martin said. "Coach Strong on the phone was just telling me I'm a Longhorn, that it's in my blood."

[rjv]

24/7 saying Coach Bedford saw DE Mark Jackson (Cibolo Steele) on Monday.


several scouts at steele's practices this week, including texas, a&m and mizzou. most of them looking at jackson (who has been beasting) but junior QB xavier martin is starting to garner some interest. the kid is an amazing athlete and has some wheels. he will be recruited as an athlete by some although baylor has expressed interest in him as a QB. for the record, martin has stated he grew up an aggie fan. steele's WR antoine cox-wesley committed to tech this week. jordan sterns' (currently a safety at OSU) little brother is also playing as a DB (sophomore) and some say he is better than his brother and tommy armstrong's (QB nebraska) kid brother will get some looks as well (as a TE).

[Blake]

steele's WR antoine cox-wesley committed to tech this week.

Some raw talent there but hard to tell in such a run happy offense. Tech is currently running in desperation mode recruiting wise so they're offering a bunch of two stars.

[rjv]

Some raw talent there but hard to tell in such a run happy offense. Tech is currently running in desperation mode recruiting wise so they're offering a bunch of two stars.

To be fair, Antoine suffered a broken collarbone last season and missed five games. He was a key player in the playoffs and made an incredible catch in
the state semifinal game against Katy. Steele has been transitioning to a spread offense and passed the ball more last year and should even more this year as Xavier Martin has a cannon for an arm.

[Blake]

That crazy one handed TD catch and 100 yard game at state might have been all Tech needed to offer a scholly.

[TFloss32]

More notes from the road (24/7):

-Coach Haley has been in Louisiana this week to see TE Jamal Pettigrew, DT Glen Logan and CB Kristian Fulton. All three plan on visiting UT this summer.

Quotes from AJ Brown of Starkville, MS (OrangeBloods):

"That's a big offer for me. Texas, I like Texas. But I really don't know too much about them yet. I just can't wait until I take that visit."

"To be honest, I don't know (what it would take to get him out of the southeast). I'm not even focusing on that right now, where I'm going to go to school or what I'm going to do. All I can say, I'm just trying to make the best decision for me and my family, wherever it may be. If that's Texas, that's where I'll go."

Great news! I asked about him on 24/7 last spring, because I noticed that coach Bedford was following him and a couple of teammates on Twitter. Back then, I was told that Texas (and Bedford) was one of the first to contact his coach and asking about him. I wonder why it took this long to offer. He has both Baylor and TCU in his top 4 (TCU is his leader) and A&M at 9 in his top 10, so distance doesn't seem like a factor to him.

Conflicting reports out there about DT Kendell Jones committing to Alabama. OrangeBloods says it's done, While his coach (Per Brian Perroni), says it isn't a "done deal yet". Texas' 24/7 site says, that their Alabama sources are saying they don't think it's legit.

Update on WR Tre Nixon of Melbourne, FL (OrangeBloods):

“As of right now, Texas is in my top list because of my relationship with Coach Norvell. I really like his intensity and I really like Coach Strong. I feel like Coach Strong was a big hire for Texas. Once I go out to visit, I think it will help out their chances even more.”

“It’s impressive to see how Coach Strong can put so many guys in the league. I saw Devante Parker get drafted in the first round and I believe that’s because of Coach Strong. He was an underrated recruit who Strong helped develop into a first round draft pick. It’s hard not to notice things like that, especially when it's someone at my position.”

“My dad lives in Arizona and my mom in Florida, so the coaches have been telling me Texas is the perfect mid-point between both of my parents. It would be a fairly short trip for both of them to come visit.”

[TFloss32]

Quotes from OL Jean Delance of North Mesquite (OrangeBloods):

"I definitely have 10 (schools) in my head that I know for sure."

"I'm going to visit USC, A&M, Austin with Deandre McNeal. I'm probably going to go to Florida, Florida State, LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma. I'm going to be everywhere."

"Coach Strong has the (NFL proof, before Texas," Delance said. "Coach Wickline, he needs guys to come in there with great potential, start early, get on the field and make an impact on the O-line as quickly as possible. He told me straight up, he's not recruiting any type of guys that he doesn't think can't come in and play early. He's not even looking for those guys."

"They have a whole bunch of guys in the NFL. Coach BJ (Brian Jean-Mary), he even let me know, have that faith in coach Strong, he'll get you to the next level. You'll have that opportunity. They have that proof. You'll have coaches tell you that, but they have that actual background if you put the work into it."

[TFloss32]

A new name at safety to keep in mind is Innis Gaines of Beaumont West Brook (OrangeBloods):

“They (Texas coaches) like me because I'm a pretty tall safety, I cover very well, have good footwork, can jump and have great ball skills,” Gaines said. “I'm working on my man coverage more and tackling.”

“They said I had a great practice, wonderful. He said I would offer you, but the way we do things at Texas, you have to come to school and meet Charlie Strong first,” Gaines said.

“I’ve been loving Texas since I was little. If they were to offer, that would be a big thing for me.”

“My conversation with him was great. He just said that he thinks it would be a good place and a good fit for me. He knew I liked Texas schools and told me to give them a shot.”

"I like it, and it has a lot of tradition," he said. "I just want to meet Coach Strong and see what kind of guy he is and see if we have a bond. He likes to keep everybody in line, and he's trying to turn the program around."

“They are one of my top schools. Coach (Charlie) Strong, Coach BJ, Coach (Tommie) Robinson and Coach Haley are all great people, and they told me they really want me.”

“I really felt like I connected with the coaches,” he said. “I like what they were saying about the program. I also liked the facilities. My favorite part was just going into the locker room and putting the jersey on. It was just a good feeling.”

Two notes from OrangeBloods...

-DE Mark Jackson of Cibolo Steele will be making his commitment in about two weeks. He spoke with the UT coaches last night, he'll visit A&M next weekend and decide the following week. OrangeBloods likes UT's chances but I think the smart bet is the Aggies.

-2017 WR Hezekiah Jones will find his way to the coaches' offices today.

[TFloss32]

OrangeBloods reporting OL Darius James is transferring to Auburn.

[Vito Corleone]

Dude has got talent so he probably will do well there. He doesn't have the discipline to be a Charlie Strong athlete, but that doesn't mean he can't play the game.

[TFloss32]

Not shocking news, but DT Ed Oliver of Spring Westfield confirmed to OrangeBloods that Houston is his #1 school and he's not talking with UT.

[TFloss32]

Per OrangeBloods, RB Kameron Martin did not make it to the coaches' offices this weekend.

He spoke with Strong on the phone before he left campus.

[TFloss32]

OrangeBloods had a little more on DE Mark Jackson of Cibolo Steele and said he actually made a surprise visit to campus yesterday with his mother.

Not sure how much it matters in the bigger picture, but he wants to major in business.

Update on recent OL offer Donavaughn Campbell of Ponchatoula, LA (OrangeBloods):

"I'm definitely going to Austin, definitely going to visit. I don't have anything set up yet."

"I have an interest in Texas and everywhere else," Campbell said. "I committed to LSU because it was somewhere I wanted to be. But I'm looking around to make sure I made the right choice."

"Me and coach Brick have been talking for a while. He was asking if I was afraid to leave Louisiana, I said 'No.' Then they offered. Me and coach Brick have been cool since he's been recruiting me since two years ago at LSU. We talked on Friday afternoon, he put coach Strong on the phone and he offered me."

[TFloss32]

DE Mark Jackson discusses his unofficial visit to Texas on Saturday (24/7):

“It went well,” Jackson said. “It was my first time taking my mother with me. We went around campus, and I got to learn more about the education. I want to major in business, and they have one of the best in the world. Everything on the football side was great, too.”

“My mom loved it,” Jackson said. “She really liked Coach Strong’s character and the level of education at Texas. Coach Strong told us a lot about the networking opportunities after college, and he really pushed being in Austin. He also told us about playing for Texas and the pride that comes with it.”

“It pushes Texas up a little bit,” Jackson said. “But right now, it’s still Oklahoma and A&M then Texas and Baylor. I’m going to think about it a lot more before making my decision. I definitely want to make it at the beginning of summer.”

[TFloss32]

2017 LB Baron Browning of Kennedale talks about his visit with Coach Strong this weekend (24/7):

“Talking to Coach Strong, people just don’t see the real Coach Strong,” Browning said. “Looking from the outside in, you think, ‘man he’s crazy for doing this (offering players later than other schools).’ But everything he does is for the sake of his players. He does care about his team and making sure they’re going to succeed in life. He truly cares.”

“They see me as an outside backer fitting into their 4-3 and 3-4 schemes,” Browning said. “They see me being a force playing from the outside in.”

More quotes from 2017 LB Baron Browning of Kennedale (OrangeBloods):

“My favorite part of the visit was talking with Coach Strong. We talked for about 45 minutes. He’s the first coach to talk to me for that long. Most coaches will rarely speak to guys on campus or will just say hi because they are too busy. He’s the type of coach who wants to get to know his players on a personal level. He’s a really cool guy. I really like him.”

“Texas is the first school who talked a lot about academics and made it more of a priority over football. Usually most schools will talk about academics for a really short time, if any, and then focus mainly on football. I was really impressed with them. Coach Strong really cares about his players and their well-being.”

“Coach Haley is pretty cool,” Roddy said. “He’s one of the best defensive line coaches in the country. I know Texas is on the rise, for sure. They signed some big-time players in their 2015 class. I know they really focus on defense."

“I want to make a visit there this summer. I just want to get a feel for the city and see if it feels like home. I also want to build relationships with the coaches and get to know them.”

“Coach Traylor and I keep in touch,” Coleman said. “We’re building a pretty good relationship, so I’m asking him questions and things like that. He’s recruiting me hard. I like him”

2017 CB Chevin Calloway from Dallas Bishop Dunne discusses receiving a UT offer (24/7):

“When I was younger, I used to sign autographs and act like I was talking to all these reporters as if I were to have a chance to play at Texas,” Calloway said. “Now here I am at that age where it all matters, and I’m actually living it all. It’s such an exciting feeling and a humble experience.”

“It was funny because I didn’t hear about the offer right away. When their coaching staff came out here to visit, I figured they were looking to offer one of my teammates,” Calloway laughed. “Coach (Vance) Bedford actually told my head coach about the offer, and my coach told my step-dad who eventually called me. It was pretty cool to find out from my step-dad."

“I haven’t had too much direct contact with the coaching staff at this point, but we are looking to plan an upcoming visit soon where I will be able to sit down and talk with them.”

“I feel like Charlie Strong is not only a good coach but a good father-figure to his players and obviously keeps his team very disciplined,” Calloway said, “I’ll be considering UT very strongly, because like I said, this was a dream school growing up. I feel like they are a DBU (Defensive Back University), and I know they put a lot of players into the NFL, which is the long-term goal.”

Some LSU coaches are supposed to meet with the West Mesquite coaches.

So would this be info gathering or trying to change the W.Mesquite coaches position about not signing the release allowing him to play elsewhere as a UIL player, or even let him have another shot at that school?
If they keep their commitment to the kid does this not mean they think the kid really did not do anything they could not fix? He must have been given warnings, coaches are usually quite liberal with the famous secondthirdfourthfifth chance with stellar players.

And after the Floss update I would like to know why we can't get some Oline commits? ATM seems to be the pipeline to the NFL in this area. And thanks for the update Floss, but referring to folks on this board as gentlemen... very diplomatic.

So weird.

Domino effect due to Ed's commitment. I can see Oliver holding strong to his word but ****** seems more spur of the moment. A long ways to go, a lot riding on the way teams perform during the season.

Yeah, the guy released his Top 8 yesterday and committed to Houston suddenly. If you pay attention to Twitter, you can see where Oliver surprised a lot of people yesterday and I think a few recruits are getting caught up in the moment. A big reason why social media has made recruiting a pain in the ass at times. I don't believe Elliott's commitment sticks, but this has been a strange cycle so far.

A few notes from 24/7...

-DT Michael Williams of Fort Worth All Saints Episcopal has named Stanford his leader after visiting a handful of schools on the West Coast.

-Coach Watson was at San Antonio Reagan today to see 2017 QB Kellen Mond and he is another prospect who could receive an offer in the "near future."

Quotes from OL Tope Imade from Arlington Bowie after committing to Texas (24/7):

“I talked to my dad about it, and we decided to go with Texas,” Imade told Horns247. “They didn’t have any offensive line commits, so I thought it would be great if I could be their first one."

“The coaches showed they really wanted me, and my former teammate Edwin Freeman was in my ear about it too. Even Shane (Buechele) sent me some messages on Twitter. It just felt right.”

“My dad and I thought it was a great place,” Imade said. “I saw all the key locations around campus and really enjoyed watching the spring game. I was the first recruit the staff came up to, so they made me feel special.”

“Coach Wickline is a funny guy, but he’s strict too,” Imade said. “I think he’ll be a good coach to play for. I also talked to Coach (Charlie) Strong two days ago, and Coach BJ (Brian Jean-Mary) keeps up with me daily. They are all cool and genuine guys.”

Damon Sayles, formerly of ESPN, now works for Bleacher Report, wrote an article this morning about how Shane Beuchele was working 5 guys pretty hard trying to get them to commit here. The 5 guys were Devin Duvernay, Jean Delance, Devah Whaley, Christian Wallace, and Tope Imade.


Imade committed a few hours later, lets hope this is a trend.

I don't know about "legit" but he is definitely a quarterback who plays better in the spread.

Surprising that they wouldn't reschedule with the terrible weather in the Austin area. Just a thought since he's traveling in from Colorado.

JUCO CB J'Marcus Rhodes of Kilgore College talks about Texas (OrangeBloods):

"We (Rhodes and Coach Traylor) had talked earlier in the week, but they haven't had their defensive meeting with coach Strong and coach Vaughn," Rhodes said. "But he said from what he's seen, it should be a 100 percent go for an offer once they all see (the film)."

"I know a lot about Texas because one of my family members went there, Earl (Thomas), who plays for the Seahawks. I actually talked to him the other day. I would always go up there, kick it with him sometimes when I was in the Austin area. So I've been on campus, seen all that."

Fresh off capturing a coveted scholarship offer from the Oregon Ducks, big-time wide receiver Tre Nixon says he's "definitely" visiting a trio of out-of-state programs over the summer, but has set his sights on a half dozen more as well.

Oregon is a scholarship offer that Tre Nixon, a speedy offensive weapon and the 53rd-ranked wide receiver in the country on Scout, has coveted since he realized he could make a splash on the biggest stage in college football. Already flooded with 40-plus opportunities on the recruiting trail, Nixon had his prayers answered on Tuesday when the Ducks opted to pull the trigger and become the latest school to serve up a scholarship offer. The Ducks visited Viera (Fla.) High on Tuesday and found no reason to wait. "I'm really excited and pumped about the opportunity," Nixon said. "It's the family team and my dad's whole side and step mom love them. I like their offensive scheme and how they would use me."

Once school breaks for the summertime, Nixon will be spending the majority of his downtime visiting schools and seeing which ones will provide him with the opportunity to blossom both on and off the football field. Oregon's eye-popping campus in Eugene is one of several expected stops for the elusive pass catcher out of Brevard County.


TRE NIXON
Viera HS / 6'1" / 170 lbs
POSITION - WR
WR RANK - 53
OFFERS - 46
Analysis - Plays all over the field in high school, but more of a slot receiver on the next level. Great burst when he gets the football and quickly gets to top speed. Can catch the ball in traffic and plays bigger than his size. Hands are a real strength. Natural receiver and catches the ball with his hands away from his body. Speed and ability to make defenders miss could get him a look at punt returner too.


"I'll probably take a couple of visits out west and up north again," Nixon said. "Texas, Texas A&M and Oregon are three schools I'm definitely going to be visiting this summer. I know we definitely want to go up and hopefully visit Michigan and Tennessee. After we're done visiting those two schools, I'll probably go back and visit Duke, Ohio State, Penn State, and probably Notre Dame as well." Nixon, who's in the midst of constructing tight-knit relationships with a number of his suitors, says a pair of out-of-state schools have been consistent and with him throughout his whole journey on the recruiting scene. "The two main ones (that I'm closest with) are Duke and Penn State because they've been there since way, way back," Nixon said. "I probably have the closest relationship with those two schools, but there's a lot of schools that I'm definitely building a good relationship with."

Nixon, who "definitely" plans on revealing his decision sometime before his senior campaign, could trim down his lengthy offer sheet as soon as this weekend. "I'm going to try to narrow it down either this weekend or over the next two weeks," Nixon said. "I just want to go into summer knowing which schools I want to visit or revisit."
