There's a new out-of-state name to keep in mind, DB Cole Luke (#198 in Rivals250) of Chandler, AZ. He attends the same high school that OL Christian Westerman did (Hamilton HS). Texas has been in contact for nearly a month but there's no word if he'll be attending the second Junior Day because he says he has limited resources to travel. Two positives so far is he says he has some family in Fort Worth and staying close to home is not a factor in his recruitment "at all." Quotes from his head coach:
"One of the coaches from Texas saw him on film. He said he's the best corner he's seen on film so far," Belles said. "Oklahoma just offered today. Washington offered today. Notre Dame called about him today. Needless to say, he's a really good football player."
"One, he's humble. He doesn't have a big ego, which is nice. He just covers people and makes plays. It's really that's simple," coach Belles said. "He always seems to be in the right place in the right time. He had three of his six interceptions returned for touchdowns. He had a couple punt returns for touchdowns, a fumble return for a touchdown, he's a sure tackler. But the main thing is he's a smart player. Some kids get it, some don't. He just gets it. He's a really good athlete and a good student on top of it."
"He (the UT coach) said it pretty straight up. He said the don't have to go out of state often, it has to be a special kid. He thinks he's a special kid. I'm sure they're doing their due diligence and getting information on him and other kids on their radar from in the state," Belles said. "It sounded to me like they might offer him, but I never heard that come out of the coach's mouth so I can't say for sure."
"Texas was in early on him. This (conversation) was about three weeks ago. They said he was by far best corner they'd seen at that time."
