Texas had a camp in Florida today. Probably had something to do with the TE offer.

[texas4ever]

I wonder if they were sponsoring the camp or just showed up??

Basketball player like Epps, I believe.

The staff has been following him on Twitter for a while now.

Curious if the staff is setting themselves up in case Watkins jumps ship. And have they given up on Waddle, haven't heard much from him...

Definitely haven't given up on Waddle.

He will be in Austin this weekend.

Someone asked earlier about Juco LB commit Gary Johnson

Jeff Howe (24/7)

The most interesting tidbit we picked up from Texas’ offseason workouts over the past week has been the sudden impact made by Gary Johnson. The No. 1-ranked junior college inside linebacker prospect in the 2017 recruiting cycle has hit the ground running in Austin. A team source said that during a recent conditioning session where the skill position players on the team were running sprints, Johnson was leading the pack the entire way through the drill.

Johnson is said to be setting the pace in workouts and the coaches who’ve been around him during his short time on campus are said to be extremely impressed with what he’s bringing to the table every day. “This guy is a freak athlete,” the team source said. “For a linebacker to look as good physically as he does and then be able to run like a deer is one of the most impressive things you’ll see. I can’t wait until he puts pads on to see if it carries over to the field.”

According to the source, the plan Todd Orlando has for how to use Johnson is to put him at the Mack position next to Malik Jefferson (Rover). Orlando will wind up letting the inside linebackers on the squad cross-train at both positions before the Longhorns really dig into planning for the season opener against Maryland, but the initial recruiting pitch to Johnson of wanting him to play next to Jefferson appears to be how the staff will indeed use the one-time Alabama commit.

Thanks.
Good news indeed.

Five-star WR Terrace Marshall of Bossier City, LA tells OrangeBloods he'll take two more visits to Austin, one this summer and an official in the fall.

“Texas fits in pretty well right now. They’re part of my recruitment, a big part of my recruitment,” Marshall said. “I’m really looking at them. Coach (Tom) Herman and coach (Drew) Mehringer are really good people and I’m just still evaluating them.”

“He (Coach Mehringer) says he wants to use me as his biggest target, come there and maybe start as a freshman,” Marshall said. “They’ve been doing very well with recruiting me. They’ve been showing me lots of love and that they really want me. That’s what put them up top.”

“He’s been trying to work me,” Marshall said of his high school teammate Justin Rogers, a TCU commitment. “As a quarterback and wide receiver, there’s a connection so he tries to recruit me. (Texas commitment) Casey Thompson, I’ve talked to him too. He’s a very good quarterback. He’s very versatile. He can run and throw, so I really feel like that’s a good situation for him.”

“I’m going to bring physicality. I’m going to bring speed. I have a big frame, I can go up and get it any time. I can also run a regular route like a normal 5-10 receiver,” Marshall said. “I have the whole package basically.”

His package lacks humility.
Its a tough one to get into a package stuffed with so much else.
