He did some drills on Wednesday and was very impressive. There was quite a bit of Arkansas momentum coming off his OV, but it is safe to say his Aggie stock is as high as ever. Based on intel we have Broughton is one of three in-state DL targets along with Alfred Collins and Princely Umanmielen. The Aggies will receive his final official visit. -DeSoto 2021 DE Shemar Turner put the Aggies in his top three after receiving his offer. He's still taking his time with the process, but the Aggies made a big impression.-Kenneth Phillips called the Aggies a dream school after receiving his offer and I have to say it looks very promising for the Aggies. He will return soon for an official visit. He is close friends with Texas A&M signee Erick Young as well was a teammate with Pro Process Academy and Fort Bend Bush.-New Caney 2021 LB Derrick Harris said Texas A&M was a school "I always wanted to go to since I was little." after receiving his offer.-Demond Demas is locked in, and he was doing some recruiting. The same with Jaylon Jones and I'm sure Bankhead was as well. After camp on Thursday Demas spent a lot time time playing catch with Quinn Ewers which I thought was a promising note.

Notes from Wednesday's Jimbo Fisher Camp
High school prospects from across the state made their way to College Station today for the first session of the Jimbo Fisher Camp.Cy Ridge defensive lineman Vernon Broughton was one of the top prospects in attendance. Fresh off his official visit to Arkansas he made his way to College Station and he will take an official visit to LSU this weekend. He said Texas A&M will receive his final official visit.Portales (NM) defensive lineman Philip Blidi showed very well. This was the first time I have seen him in person and he checked several boxes. Very well put together, and has a powerful base. Very quick off the ball and a strong punch. He currently holds offers from Tulsa, SMU, UTEP, and some others but he has P5 ability. I only saw him lose one rep and that was to 2022 stud Kameron Dewberry.https://twitter.com/R_Brauninger/status/1136390979026636801https://twitter.com/Jason_Howell/status/1136408916114509830Speaking of Kameron Dewberry he definitely looked the part too. It is easy to see why he is so highly regarded. That's enough on that.https://twitter.com/R_Brauninger/status/1136389547678457856Katy Tompkins 2021 DE Tunmise Adeleye showed why he is regarded as one of the best in Texas.https://twitter.com/R_Brauninger/status/1136374371373768705A new name I really liked was 6-4, 210-pound 2021 edge D'Marion Alexander of China Spring. His speed off the edge was too much for most OLs in attendance and he has tremendous length.https://twitter.com/Jason_Howell/status/1136408756240244736Fort Lauderdale (FL) University 2021 DE RJ Sorensen also turned heads with his play. He is low coming off the ball and he is quick to shoot his arms out there and use that wingspan of his to his advantage. He picked up offers from Rutgers and Colorado this week and should see more as he makes his way around the camp circuit.https://twitter.com/R_Brauninger/status/1136373971140653056Linebacker was one of my favorite positions to watch today. New Caney 2021 LB Derrick Harris Jr was particularly impressive. He had two INTs in one-on-ones and I love his speed off the edge. He has been tearing it up on the summer camp circuit so far. Mineola 2021 LB Trevion Sneed also had a strong showing. One thing is for sure about him, he goes 100-percent every rep. I also liked what I saw from 2020 Arlington Martin LB Ed Jones. He checked in at 5-11, 215 so he's a little undersized but I liked his lateral quickness.https://twitter.com/Jason_Howell/status/1136393408623316994https://twitter.com/R_Brauninger/status/1136381348883644419Wide receiver 2022 WR Armani Winfield had a solid day on the field. He runs smooth and precise routes. He length and ball skills are also major pluses. At QB 2021 Eastland standout Behren Morton had a solid day. He showed a quick release and he put the ball on the money with consistency. https://twitter.com/Jason_Howell/status/1136383397255929858https://twitter.com/Jason_Howell/status/1136417955871416322One last underclassman I want to note is Smithson Valley 2023 OL Colton Thomasson. At 6-7, I was impressed with how he moved during drills. I'm marking him down as one to watchHere's the link to today's LIVE Thread
