Patrick Lucas

The end of the school year brought a flurry of commitments to the Southeastern Conference while even more prospects decided to trim their lists of favorites. Jason Howell runs down the latest developments around the SEC.

Just a few things that have been on my mind1. I love the Aggies tapping into other regions, but what is even better is seeing them offer guys early who are just starting to emerge as top prospects. I look at out of state guys like Jack Stewart, Tayquon Johnson, and Patrick Lucas, and in-state guys like Baylor Cupp, Nnamdi Adim-Madumere, and David Gbenda. The Aggies have been the first, or among the first, P5 programs to offer each. That makes me believe they know what they are looking for in a prospect and when they see it they go get it. It also speaks to their out-of-state contacts and the depth of their video research. 2. Speaking of David Gbenda, good night do I love his tape. I have to admit the first time I heard about him was when Ryan started talking about his performance at the Opening Regional in Houston last week. Then he took home LB MVP honors. Then the Aggies offered. Now he has shot up my short list of linebackers in a hurry and his offer list has grown considerably in the last week. His tape is impressive and in my mind it puts him right up there with Marcel Brooks and Rian Davis as my favorite in-state linebackers on the field. He fights through traffic, finds the ball, and arrives angry. What is not to like about that.3. I really struggled with where to go on this one. Would I talk DB recruiting, Demani Richardson's commitment, TEs, or something else. Well, I think we've talked quite a bit about all of those subjects so I want to go another direction. It is time for a new name so let me introduce you to Camar Wheaton. This guy is a 2021 prospect, but he is as must know as Kendrick Blackshire or Hayden Conner. At 6-1, 190-pounds the Garland Lakeview Centenial running back has already clocked 10.8 100m in 2018, and he recently picked up his first scholarship offer from TCU. He will be at Arkansas this weekend and I will not be shocked one bit if the Razorbacks decide to offer as well. He was named 10-6A Newcomer of the Year after averaging over 12 ypc and rushing for a team leading 880 yards and 11 TDs. He did that while not playing varsity until the 4th game of the year, and he saved his best performance for last. Against Dallas Jesuit he rushed for 439 yards and 5 TDs and averaged almost 20 yards a carry in the Patriots 79-55 playoff loss to the Jesuit Rangers. Put him on your radar now.https://www.hudl.com/video/3/10742955/5a8d1e0ab3c85f0eb41e3f8d

Jimbo Fisher and the Aggie staff continue to search far and wide for talent and extended an offer to Alabama defensive lineman Patrick Lewis on Tuesday. Lewis shares his initial thoughts on the offer with Jason Howell, saying he plans to visit College Station.
