Would absolutely love him and Turntine in this class. Talk about franchise bookends. Keep that OT pipeline going. OTU!!!! For some reason that doesn't flow as nicely as DBU or RBU.

Feels good that times are changing and Longhorns are getting drafted higher at every position now. Maybe Texas will just simply be called NFLU soon. So much better than the days when I thought Texas was only gonna be PU (punter Uni).

Two OL notes from OTF...

- Daniel Cruz is having a "very solid spring" and looking like a three-year starter beginning in the '26 season

- Nick Brooks is "going to be a stud" based on what they're hearing out of Moncrief, and he's second team LT currently

At one time Jerry Hamilton had John Turntine way ahead on the list of OTs.
Now he is listing about 4 and said getting two of them would be huge.
Ojo is one of the three to five tackles he mentioned.

[pgardn]

Still dont get why Turntine is in 247s IOL list...?

I read somewhere that they have never seen Pete K with a permanent smile on his face, until now.
To me it indicated he is very pleased with what they have got at present, players and coaches.

Maybe he feels as if recruiting is settled so he can concentrate more fully on coordinating the defense...

Per OTF, '27 RB offer Jakoby Dixon of Brenham was on campus watching practice today.

He was offered almost a year ago, but there hasn't been much talk of him since then.

IT added that once Nicolas Robertson committed, they feel that was likely the end of Texas' chances with Katoa.

I think SMU is now a team to watch with their recent hire of Langi.

Hamilton at OTF said earlier in the week that Katoa and his circle have cut off communication with Texas.

My fault, forgot to come back to this.

I think it's most important to emphasize Sark is taking a "best players available" approach, and not just positional needs, as long as the NIL allocation makes sense.

As far as top-tier needs:

• WR - I'm definitely on the Livingstone hype train, but would like to see a 1B to Wingo's 1A. Stanford's second leading WR Emmett Mosley, who also led the ACC in freshman receiving, just entered the portal but not sure he'll have the experience Sark covets a la Bolden, Bond and Golden last year. Mosley held a Texas offer in high school.

• TE - Even before Washington got hurt last week, the staff was planning to address this and IT mentioned recently they're confident the staff has it covered already.

• RB - I'd feel more confident here if Baxter and Clark weren't coming off of major injuries, and anxious to see if Coach Scott tries to take advantage of his close relationship with Jahiem White from West Virginia as he's run for 800+ yards in the past two seasons.

• LB - I was thinking the staff could go shopping here, but moving Moore over from DE seems to make that much less likely.

• DT - Coach Baker did quite well in the winter portal imo, but I'd like to see them add one more guy even if it's for depth with the seasons getting longer.

Mosley from Stanford is visiting this weekend, per Hamilton at OTF.

IT with the latest on DT target Jaimeon Winfield of Richardson High:

“No, it’s not over,” one source said. “I just felt like he committed on impulse. USC was super aggressive with their approach, and he felt like it was a great opportunity, so he committed.”

“USC just made me feel like there was a place I needed to be,” he said. “They presented a great opportunity, so I committed.”

“He thinks the world of Texas,” a source close to the recruitment said. “His mom is in love with the school, the staff, and everything the program stands for, especially what it can do for him long term.”

“Coach Baker is real,” Winfield said. “I know he can develop me not just as a player, but as a man. That’s important to me.”

“His mom would love for him to stay closer,” a source said. “She wants to be able to support him in person, be able to be close if he needs anything. That means something to both of them.”

“I’m close to my mom,” he said. “It would be cool if she could see me play without flying across the country every week.”

“SMU, Alabama, Miami, Notre Dame. Those teams are really applying pressure,” a source said. “They are trying to get Jaimeon to reconsider, and I think it’s wise for him to at least listen. USC will need to recruit him all the way until pen hits paper.”

“No sir. He (Coach Clark) was at Ohio State and was actually the main one recruiting me there. We’ve known each other for a while, and that relationship still holds weight because we’re pretty close.”

“Oh yeah,” he said with a grin. “I had the brisket, sausage, all that. Then I got to the crawfish—that was only my second time having it. It was really good.”

“I’m trying to figure one (official visit to Texas) out right now,” he said. “It’ll take a little bit of time, but I’m working on getting one in the works.”

“Texas is still up there,” he said. “They’ve always been in the picture.”

“Yeah, I talked to Coach Sark today,” he said. “He was glad I made it down. He didn’t think I was going to show up because I came in a little later. So when he heard I was there, he made sure to get in a meeting with me.”

“Yes sir,” Carlton said. “They (Carlton's family) click pretty well with Sark and this group.”

The father of DE offer Luke Wafle from Princeton, NJ talks about their Texas visit (247):

"This was Luke's fourth time down," David Wafle, Luke's father, told Horns247. "But it was the first visit in which he got to kind of see the practice, got a great tour of McCombs School of Business, he got to sit in the pre-practice position meetings before. And then after practice we got to meet with Coach (LaAllan) Clark and go over defensive strategies. Then we had a good position meeting with Coach PK (Pete Kwiatkowksi). He had been down for a game, which you don't get to do any of that stuff pregame, and then we were down at the barbecue last year. So this was the first time we actually got to sit and go to a practice and get the real unofficial visit tour. It was great. It was everything we wanted to see, everything Luke wanted to experience. Met with Coach (Torre) Becton who Luke really, really, really likes, and thinks is one of the best. Luke is basically kind of doing the same workouts Coach Becton is doing with the team. He got a lot out of that meeting. It was great."

"Texas is very high on his list," David Wafle said. "He's done a lot of unofficials all spring and he really feels like going down and seeing a practice, and sitting in team meetings, and being around the players is kind of the most important trip he could make. That's why we're coming. Texas is huge. We love it there. Very excited to get down for the OV."

"You know, you really like a place, you want to get in there to see what a day in the life looks like to get that final look heading into June."

"What we've said to both Owen (Luke's brother) and Luke … they had a great time playing with each other in high school but you can't let that make your decision for you," David Wafle said of how Luke's older brother being in State College impacts his recruitment. "Luke's interest in Penn State is based on the program, the coaches, his position coach, and feeling like Penn State is a great university is really on the right track. It's a great problem to have all these playoff teams and preseason No. 1s on the list. Not too bad."

Quotes from WR offer Mason James of Norman, OK after his visit to campus last weekend (247):

"It was amazing for me and my family to get here," James told Horns247. "Very blessed and honored. Even though I got the offer pretty late, for the Texas family to be showing me a lot of love is really big for me even late in this process."

"Really Daylan McCutcheon," he said of who he was watching. "He's kind of my same size and height. Really the way they were using him inside and outside. The way he was able to learn the offense pretty early on is something I'm looking forward to doing as soon as I get on campus wherever I'm at. Really watching him play and seeing him make the plays were really inspiring me a lot."

"Really they were preaching to me about the culture, telling me how well I'd fit in and how they use speed," he said. "The main thing is the pro-style offense and how they get players to the league as you can see the last two to three years. All the players that have gotten drafted, the wide receivers, it's really starting to turn into a Wide Receiver U in my opinion. Really just the development is key from Coach Sark and Coach Jackson, the way they work together and the way they develop their receivers really impresses me."

"Definitely one of my top schools, for sure," he said of where the Longhorns stand.

"I'm more of a players type of guy," he said of his rooting interests.

"To me distance really isn't a big problem with me," he said. "I've got a really good support staff, my mom, my dad, my grandparents. So really the best place for me is where I feel like I fit in, the offense that I fit into, a coach that's going to take care of me, the head coach, the wide receivers coach, really guys I feel like I can be around all the time"

Nahlin at IT mentioned they have their eye on two specific WRs to see if they'll enter the transfer portal.

They think at least one of them will, and the staff wants one more WR if it's the right guy.

247 confirmed that '27 QB Malachi Zeigler of Benton, LA made it campus on Monday.

He mentioned he was basically overwhelmed with the facilities, and it was as good of a first impression as possible.

Safe to say he'd like a Texas offer, and the staff will visit his high school soon to watch him throw along with a return trip to Austin for a June camp.
