My Three Things
-Preston Stone is on fire - The Dallas Parish Episcopal 2021 QB has seen his offer list explode this spring. In the last two weeks he has received 13 Power 5 scholarship offers, 5 from the SEC alone. Three times in that stretch he has received multiple offers on one day, and he has received at least one offer every day this week. This morning as I was typing this up, Vanderbilt became the most recent to join his offer list. Yesterday, Ohio State extended an offer. During this stretch he has also added Baylor, Illinois, North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, Texas, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Notre Dame, Virginia, and Virginia Tech. He received his Texas A&M offer before the flurry started, and he now holds in-state offers from Texas A&M, Baylor, Houston, North Texas, SMU, TCU, Texas, Texas State, and Texas Tech. Not bad for anyone let alone a freshman.-Offers roll in for some of my favorite 2020s - There are guys I root for out there. Not that I'm necessarily rooting against anyone, but there are a few guys I have thought were worthy and it is nice to see their hard work pay off. Grapevine Faith QB Deuce Hogan is one of those guys, and this week he grabbed his first P5 offers from Iowa, Iowa State, and Oklahoma State. Hogan is 6-4, has added some weight to his frame, and he can flat out spin it. Cedar Hill OL Courtland Ford is another one, and he had a strong few weeks as well. He has also had a big two weeks Alabama, Georgia, Kansas State, Iowa State, and LSU each extended scholarship offers. He is nimble on his feet and bends well, plus he has a nasty streak. Ford was out all but two game last fall after having corrective osteotomy surgery. The surgery reshapes a defective bone to prevent future injury. He is now healthy and on a dominant path.https://twitter.com/BigClint37/status/981906823157600256-My favorite watch of the week - This just goes out to the guy I enjoyed watching the most during practices this week. Bishop Dunne 2020 TE Elijah Yelverton was a strong candidate, and so was 2020 ATH Jaden Hullaby. South Oak Cliff's Steven Parker also got after it and I did enjoy seeing 2021 LB Jai Jones for the first time. However, Colleyville Heritage 2020 OL Gavin Byers gets my nod. The guy was so nasty in the trenches. He knocked guys down and then he knocked them down again and then he laid on them and then he pushed off of them as he got up after the play. It really was a thing of beauty. He was quick off the line. He stayed low. He picked up blocks at the second level. Consider me a fan.
