Saw Mark Jackson every week last season and he does rush the passer very well but he needs work against the run and on his technique. It will be interesting to see how he builds up over the summer and how much better he is his senior year. And keep your ears open for Steele's next QB, Xavier Martin (class of 17), who will make a name for himself quickly. He has a great arm and 4.4 speed.

Ya, Gotta love the Steele program and how well they represent the SA area..Another QB you will hear for long, long time is Julon williams from converse judson. Kid led Judson to the state semi's as a Freshman and is class of 2018, crazy...Posted a video and remember this kid was only freshman during these highlights..

Ya, Gotta love the Steele program and how well they represent the SA area..Another QB you will hear for long, long time is Julon williams from converse judson. Kid led Judson to the state semi's as a Freshman and is class of 2018, crazy...Posted a video and remember this kid was only freshman during these highlights..

http://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/julon-williams/UrFZ2iQvEeS00gAmVebEWg/default.htm

He was amazing.....a 3rd string Freshman QB thrown into the fray because of season ending injuries in back to back weeks to the top 2 QBs. Honestly, he is a special player. Judson struggled mightily to begin the season and dealt with tons of turnovers, bad penalties, and just poor offensive execution. This kid comes in and turns it all around instantly. IMO, he is the reason we went as far as we did. He is a very special player. He can throw, he can run, he is a field general, he has so much poise and maturity, and he definitely has that "IT" that great players have, something I haven't felt since the days of the great Jerod Douglas.

BTW, Judson should have beat Steele last season, that was one helluva game. If you are a HS football fan in the SA area, you need to find a way to make the Judson/Steele game. It always seems to come down to the final drive. Unfortunately, Steele always come out on top.

Oregon is not the only suitor attempting to bring Vernon Adams to campus.

UCLA and Texas have each registered interest in Adams, the Eastern Washington quarterback who can graduate and transfer to play immediately for a fifth season of eligibility in 2015, according to his high school coach Dean Herrington.

Herrington, who has coached at Bishop Alemany in Mission Hills, California, for nine seasons, said he's fielded calls from the schools since Oregon's pursuit of Adams became well-known.

"They both want him," Herrington said in a phone interview, adding that he believes Adams' decision will nonetheless come down to the Ducks and Eagles.

Adams took an official visit to Oregon the last weekend of January. After he returned to Cheney, Washington, he told 247Sports earlier this week that he could decide as early as Monday whether to stay at Eastern, where his blend of passing and running has made him runner-up for the Walter Payton award for FCS player of the year two consecutive seasons.

Eastern Washington coach Beau Baldwin said Wednesday that he will meet with Adams on Monday to discuss his options. He hopes to find out sometime soon after where the quarterback stands.

"It'll be sooner rather than later," Baldwin told the Spokesman-Review. "We're definitely not trying to drag this out for weeks."

Both the Bruins and Longhorns have blue-chip quarterbacks on their roster, but they are young. Five-star freshman Josh Rosen has already enrolled at UCLA, while four-star dual-threat QB Kai Locksley sent Texas his letter of intent on Wednesday.

The Ducks have offered Adams a scholarship but no guarantee of starting. He would be one more quarterback in an already packed competition, joining junior-to-be Jeff Lockie, sophomores Taylor Alie and Ty Griffin, redshirt freshman Morgan Mahalak and true freshman Travis Waller.

Adams is said to graduate this spring from Eastern, meaning he'd miss Oregon's spring practices but be available by summer.

Some of you might remember QB Seth Green from Minnesota, who camped at Texas at the QB camp last year. He liked Texas a lot, but committed to Oregon back in October. Apparently he is transferring to Texas to play his last season of high school. Rumored to go to Allen.

These programs have played each other five times with Steele winning each one but every game was extremely close, especially last year. Both teams will have a great chance to win state next season (Steele at division II and Judson at division I). What I love is how they support one another. When I was at the Brandeis/Steele game, the Judson team was there pulling for Steele and the Cibolo community has huge respect for the rockets.

I was hoping Rackley would stay on one more year, and then hand the reins over to MJ. However, that didn't happen. Rackley retired a year earlier, We hired Smith, and then MJ went on to coach at TT. It has all worked out though, as Sean Mc did a very nice job in his rookie season. I hope he can continue to build on his success and bring us home another State Ship. Now, if they would only go back to the pre-Mark Smith uniforms.

BTW, I do really like our new district. Judson, Wagner, Steele, Clemens, NB, NB Canyon, and Smithson Valley.....

DL:
Brick Haley, LSU - New LSU DC Kevin Steele and him doesn't have a great relationship, so Haley is a off-field assistant, IIRC.
Bryant Young, unemployed - Spend a couple of seasons with Florida after a year with San Jose State and a year as GA at Notre Dame.

[TFloss32]

Quotes from both Strong and Traylor (24/7):

"Jeff's a tremendous football coach who has built a program at Gilmer that has had unbelievable success," Strong said. "He's a guy that we've watched, admired and really gotten to know. The thing about Jeff is he's just so passionate about the game and his players. We had a chance to get him in for an interview and around our staff, and he really impressed all of us. He has a great deal of knowledge and experience and having coached in this state for so long, really knows Texas. East Texas has so many great players that it really helps us to have a guy like Jeff on staff that knows the area so well. We're excited to have him on board."

"Honestly, I was extremely happy in my hometown (of Gilmer)," Traylor said. "This is where I was raised. There were only a couple of schools I would consider leaving for, and one of those schools called. Having an opportunity to coach at The University of Texas is a dream come true. It's special because of what it stands for in the state, the tradition, the pride, and how proud people are to be from there. It's just a unique place.

Quotes from Strong and Haley released by UT:

"It's a great day," Haley said. "It's a dream come true. Football in the state of Texas is unbelievable. Having an opportunity to be a part of that, and coming up in coaching I've worked in the state a couple of times, and just knowing the rich tradition and the history of Texas football is so exciting. Growing up it was always a dream to coach college football in the state, and the greatest accomplishment would be to coach college football at The University of Texas, which now I have the opportunity to do, and I can't wait."

"Brick is a guy we're so excited to be bringing to our staff," Strong said. "He has such a great reputation for developing defensive lineman and has developed so many great players over the years. I really enjoyed getting to know him during his visit with our staff. You could tell right away that he's a great fit for us because he's very driven, focused and takes a lot of pride in his work. He just brings so much experience as a coach having worked not only with the defensive line, but also as a defensive coordinator. He's recruited this state for years and extensively in the Houston area, so he knows the state and can hit the ground running there, as well."

"I've known Charlie for a long time, not in a situation of working for him, but I knew what kind of person he is, and I've always respected the things he's done on and off the field," Haley said. "Having an opportunity to go and visit with him and sit down and talk football, it was really pretty cool. We were picking each other's minds and talking about ball, and getting to know him in an off-the-field setting was great. To actually sit down and have some quality time to visit was awesome."

Is the only way we have a shot at Gregory Little if Murray leaves A&M to go pro early? Probably yes, but I hope not.

It would help quite a bit if Murray decides to go baseball.

But I'm sure Little is being told he's the leader of their 2016 class, so that would be difficult to overcome as well.

A few quotes from DT Chris Daniels of Euless Trinity (OrangeBloods). He may be your next in-state offer at DT:

"I think it's an honor to be in there (the Rivals100). Not a lot a lot of people get to be in there, so it's kind of a dream and I'm living it," Daniels said. "I've just been grinding. I want to make my parents proud, put God first, just keep grinding and leading at my school. Just today (Monday), I got named captain of the d-line and was put in the unity council (leaders of the team voted on by the players)."

"I'm open right now. I'll probably try to do something in football season, wait until maybe playoff time," Daniels said. "I'm trying to wait it out. Maybe on my birthday (December 18)."

"I got a one-on-one with the whole coaching staff at SMU. When I went to OU, they called me out in the middle of it and I had a one-on-one with Bob Stoops for probably about 15 minutes in his office so that was cool," Daniels said.

"Texas would be in my top. They're already in my top, but if they offered and I talked to their coaches, that would help a lot," Daniels said. "My dad even likes them. They're in my dad's top three. They're on my list too, but I'm not sure where yet. I've got all these offers coming in so it's hard to say right now."

"They've been saying they were going to offer so it feels good," Martin said.

"I talked to coach Vaughn earlier (on Tuesday). I just told coach Vaughn, 'Don't sleep on me.' I told him that this morning. I was pretty much mad at Texas. They told me they were going to offer me a long time ago and it hadn't happened. I just DM'd coach Vaughn, said don't sleep on me," Martin said.

"He had messaged me earlier, said 'We love you but we're taking things slow.' Then I told him, 'Yeah but you offered other guys.' Then about 5 p.m. today, he DM'd me, told me to call. I called coach Vaughn, and he was like, 'Well Kam, we have now officially offered. He said 'We've always liked you and now it's official.'"

"They offered me as a running back. I'm going to have to say it opens up my eyes a little more, but I'm still committed to Baylor," Martin said.

"It feels good," Martin said of the UT offer. "That was my dream school, the school I always wanted to go to. But Baylor treated me so well. I really don't know, man. I have to open up my eyes."

"I can't get up there (Austin) because I'm running track right now, so they just told me to come up when I can," Martin said. "I've already been up there though and I'll get up there again soon for Texas Relays or state."

Buechele commits to Texas.

I think this means no Wallace now.

I think this means no Wallace now.
Other than wishful thinking not sure why you would think this...Strong taking another qb in this class.

Buechele's teammate OL Chris Owens is one of the top risers in the new 24/7Sports rankings. He is now the 189th best prospect in the country and the 8th ranked guard.

I like Austin Myers, but he recently committed to TCU. Owens is a guy that intrigues me.

I'm not wishing anything here, just sayin. 24/7 predicts him to go Nebraska, iirc, but he also has an offer from Ohio St.

Wallace wants to play QB. These kids want to play now.

You never know anything with this shit, but I don't see him wanting to compete for the job.

[TheMex]

We keep saying that Charlie is taking two and that we'll add another one. Don't we already have two?!? Buechele and Merrick.

It may not be until later this summer, but there is still the possibility that Merrick is moved into the 2015 class.

Five-star CB Saivion Smith of Bradenton, FL has committed to LSU:

Former Dallas Skyline WR Ra'Shaad Samples is transferring from OK State.

@AutulloAAS: Matthew Merrick’s HS coach tells me that Florida has offered Merrick for its 2015 class but that Merrick is firm with Texas.

@AutulloAAS: Matthew Merrick’s HS coach tells me that Florida has offered Merrick for its 2015 class but that Merrick is firm with Texas.

Hope it works out for him. My guess is Texas will see what they can get on the transfer market and then assess the Merrick situation.

Unfortunately, that decision may not come for a few more months.

Buechele's teammate OL Chris Owens is one of the top risers in the new 24/7Sports rankings. He is now the 189th best prospect in the country and the 8th ranked guard.

I like Austin Myers, but he recently committed to TCU. Owens is a guy that intrigues me.

Owens projects to guard at his height, so Coach Wickline may want to see him in the spring.

I like him as well, but the 2016 class may be heavy on guys that can play tackle first.

[TFloss32]

Speaking of taller offensive linemen, here's somewhat of a late-bloomer prospect I can see Texas getting in on during the spring.

OL Tope Imade of Arlington Bowie.

5-Star QB Dwayne Haskins Jr. Last Twitter follow went to Shane Buechele.

Per OrangeBloods, OL Willie Allen of River Ridge, LA may be at the Junior Day on Saturday.

If he does go, he'll ride with his teammate, LB Nathaniel Evans.

[TFloss32]

24/7 reporting Texas has offered CB Benjie Franklin of Alief Taylor. He is supposed to attend Junior Day on Saturday.

There a few other guys I have on "offer watch", and I'll post as we get closer to Friday just in case some of you aren't familiar with the lesser known names.

Scout saying DT Jordan Elliott of Houston Westside spoke with the entire staff yesterday over the phone.

[TFloss32]

A few quotes from OL Jean Delance of North Mesquite (24/7):

“I’m setting a ride up and talking to Coach (Joe Wickline) about it as well,” Delance said.

“I’m wanting to hear the offer from the man himself,” Delance said of receiving the offer from Charlie Strong. “I can’t even explain (the type of reaction). I’ve been thinking about Texas.”

“I want to hear about the rebuilding and turning of the program to a national championship competitor team and a national program again,” Delance said.

[TFloss32]

Inside Texas reporting that Alief Taylor's coach confirmed CB Benjie Franklin has not been offered...yet.

He could get one on Saturday.

@TeamKamMartin: I'm not going to Texas because of @jcharles25 I'm starting my own legacy at Baylor !!!! #SicEm #B2B

Could be legit but it's a long ways from signing day. To me it sounds like a young man still bitter that Texas held off on offering for so long. We shall see.

[djohn2oo8]

Lol college legacy. Sure means a lot to Vince these days.

@BGKofiBoateng: This dude @BGShaneBuechele @ name should be UTCoachBuechele "Recruiting Coordinator" ��

Per his Twitter, QB Shane Buechele will attend Junior Day this weekend.

ESPN still trying to justify the Longhorn Network to themselves and ultimately to Mickey Mouse.

ESPN still trying to justify the Longhorn Network to themselves and ultimately to Mickey Mouse.

It got off to a really bad start, but distribution is much wider now and if we can get football turned around then it may end up working alright after all.

Inside Texas saying DT Ed Oliver of Spring Westfield will not be in Austin this weekend.

Not a big surprise.

Look$ like we weren't willing to work with the We$tfield agent.

Look$ like we weren't willing to work with the We$tfield agent.

I'm not even sure what the guy's role is, but it's an odd deal (even if he were a huge Texas fan).

Oliver seems to favor LSU and then Houston because his former head coach is now on Herman's staff.
