Braedon Nutter

With the ink now dry on most of the 2019 Texas A&M signing class, a lot of recruiting junkies will start looking at the class of 2020. TexAgs analysts Ryan Brauninger and Jason Howell break down their early favorites at each position in a two part story beginning with the offense.

-I'll admit that I haven't been all over the boards in the last 12-18 hours. I was at the Houston Zoo Lights last night and stopped just long enough to do some stuff with the Blades commitment then my phone was blowing up wondering if Braedon Mowry was in Austin as the surprise visitor. Mowry shut that down emphatically. Well, this morning I woke to texts asking if the secret visitor at Texas was DeMarvin Leal. I don't know where that started, but I reached out to DeMarvin, and he told me he's in San Antonio and has been all weekend. He also said he doesn't understand why Texas keeps trying. He's told them no a whole bunch of times.-Potential visitors for today's practice include Demond Demas, Latrell Neville, Braedon Nutter, and Rob Wooten.For those of you that have been crying for the state of Texas to produce a linebacker, Wooten may be your guy in 2020. He's an unknown because he's been playing defensive end at Stafford, but he's 6-3, 215 pounds and possesses some real explosion coming off the ball. I saw him work out yesterday with Rischad Whitfield and was really impressed with his blend of size, strength, and quick twitch qualities. He grew up a Texas fan, and the Longhorns have started expressing interest as has A&M. I've got a feeling he won't be under the radar for too much longer.

Two more unofficial visitors snuck into College Station today: 2019 Ft Bend Dulles ATH Ainias Smith and 2020 commit Jordan Jefferson.Smith looks like he's still planning on signing in February. It'll be interesting to see where the Ags are at when that time comes.Another HS name popping up at corner is Jay Ward. He's a 6-1, 175 pound defensive back from Moultrie, Georgia and Colquitt County HS. Ward decommitted from Kentucky last month and has since seen his offer list explode - picking up Ohio St and Florida St since he made the step away from the Wildcats. He's on an official visit in Baton Rouge this weekend.Got a report that Carver (AL) LB Ke'shun Brown is loving his visit so far. We'll have more after he leaves town tomorrow, but there may be some momentum building in this one. New name to watch in 2020 is Tomball Memorial OL/DL Braedon Nutter. His junior film is on the defensive front, but a lot of schools (including A&M) have expressed intrigue about him as a guard/center prospect. He's begun drill work to make the transition. I saw him workout today and was super impressed with his feet and explosion. He's got a real shot to be a P5 center. Measures in at 6-4, 290. Our staff has heard positive stuff on the Derick Hunter front today. I'm still calling this one a toss up and giving a slight edge to Florida, but it sounds like the Aggies are giving him a lot to think about. Be tuned on Wednesday for this one.
