Let's act like children and analyze the tweets in-depth. His tweet about the UT offer said he was "so blessed" to receive it whereas his tween about the A&M offer only said he was "blessed" and not "so blessed". The subtle difference clearly speaks to his favoring of the Longhorns. We are thus his clear leader in the head to head battle against A&M.
A&M has also offered DT Chris Daniels (Euless Trinity) and DT Jordan Elliott (Houston Westside).
So this of course means he ultimately ends up at OU.
And two more offers for A&M:
QB, Jalen Hurts, Channelview

So is it safe to say he has been offered?
Maybe in the future, but not yet. Quotes from his trip (Rivals):
"Texas is definitely one of the best visits I've been on. The coaches stated the truth and didn't sugarcoat anything. We got to meet pretty much all of the coaching staff and what's great was the tradition behind Texas. They are a program that will transform me from a boy to a man."
"The head coach works out in the weight room with the players. That's something I haven't seen or heard about from other coaches. The defensive backs coach has coached some top guys that are doing great in the NFL which I loved and he actually said that he is not the type of coach that will force you to learn something if that's not part of your game. He wants you to succeed on and off the field but on the field with the style of play you're comfortable with."

Update on OL JP Urquidez of Copperas Cove (24/7):
“Overall it was good, a dream come true,” Urquidez said. “You know, I’ve been working 17 years to come here, so now I’ve seen everything I’ve needed to see and I’ll probably be pulling the trigger, not here, but overall here coming up pretty soon.”
“My family is really attracted to him because of all of the core values and coming here and becoming a better man,” Urquidez said. “I’ve got to see everything I wanted to see. I got to develop some good relationships with players.”
“It was pretty tempting (to make a commitment),” Urquidez said. “My dad was here, which means a lot for him. Me and him have grown up watching Texas since I was born. The first shirt I had was Texas.”
“We will see what happens from here,” Urquidez said. “We will discuss what’s best for me where my family can see me playing and we will go from there.”
“Every place I have told myself is going to have a good weight room, they are going to have a good place to live, they are going to have a nice stadium. I just needed to talk with the coaches more, that’s the biggest thing. Relationships and really seeing if I could play for somebody.”
“Me and Wickline have a really great relationship,” Urquidez said. “I feel like I’m here with him already. he’s a crazy guy, he is something else, but I can see him put me to the next level after college. I like him a lot. He’s aggressive, I’m aggressive, and we kind of see things the same way.”
Per OrangeBloods, OL Chris Owens of Arlington Lamar plans on visiting Texas during Spring Break.
The Camps are starting again. Studentsports have videos from camps in Florida and California so far, and I assume Collin Johnson is in some of the Cali videos and there is probably a couple of Texas targets in the Florida videos (I haven't watched the videos yet).

Per Scout, RB Brandon Stephens of Plano is on his way to Austin to meet with the coaches and tour campus.
OL Chris Owens of Arlington Lamar talks about receiving his Texas offer (OrangeBloods):
"We were in class and weren't really doing anything. Shane sent me a screen shot saying coach (Joe) Wickline wanted me to get on the phone with him," Owens said. "I stepped out of class and called him. First he kind of wanted to get the rundown, see how I was doing, see if I'm going to be able to get to the campus any time soon. Then he informed me about himself a little bit, talked about one of the guys he coached previously, Russell Okung, and he said 'we want to offer you.' But he said that's not the most important part of the call, that I have an offer, but that's not why he called. He said he wants to start to building a relationship."
"I was actually very excited about it, considering the things coach Strong has done, and my best friend Shane is already committed there," Owens said. "I was excited."
"I'm narrowing down my list a little bit, little by little," Owens said. "My timeline, in a perfect world, I'd like to make a decision before my senior season begins so I can avoid distractions."
"What stands out is coach Strong, of course. I remember seeing what he did at Louisville. I had never seen Louisville as a football team being so compe ive, only in basketball," Owens said. "He turns around programs, then you see the people he's bringing in. Texas in general, has a great history of winning. And it's definitely a school that produces at my position."
the phrase "treat women with respect" on the wall.......Just beyond incredible that they feel it needs to be there
Lol at an official decommitment
