Around the SEC: Recruiting news and trends
It's time to take a look around at the biggest pick-ups on the recruiting front as well as some of the top recruiting news and notes from around the SEC. Jason Howell details that and more in this week's Around the SEC.
Some quick Wednesday midday recruiting notes
- Checked around again on a pair of sources close to the recruitment of Canonsburg (PA) S Donovan McMillon, and just as we have been reporting, it seems like that one is Gainesville bound. The fact that Donovan has a whole bunch of family in the area is playing a lead role here. We'll see how engaged A&M stays in this one, especially if visits are allowed to happen.- I've been told today to expect an announcement from the UIL early next week in terms of their plan going forward for fall athletics. - The QB quest in 2022 continues to concentrate on the same group of names as I've checked around again. Quinn Ewers of Southlake Carroll is still a primary target as are guys like Ty Simpson and Tevin Carter out of Tennessee. In state, the Aggies continue to closely monitor Conner Weigman out of Bridgeland and Austin Westlake's Cade Klubnik. Weigman has had an incredible summer on the baseball diamond and should probably be considered in the same realm as Kohl Stewart or Kyler Murray in terms of his projectability there. - Jason has been putting out names that he'd like to see offered in 2022, so I'll throw out a handful of mine, as well.1. West Orange-Stark OL/DL Demetrius Hunter 2. Manvel LB Justin Medlock 3. Katy LB Ty Kana 4. Spring CB Dorian Friend 5. College Station OL Cory Hendrix

****Weekend High School Football Thread
I just couldn't wait for Thursday so I jumped the state line and took the trip to Little Rock to see OL Chris Morris and West Memphis take on Little Rock Central.https://twitter.com/Jason_Howell/status/1166453673125453825?s=20West Memphis has three prospects with Texas A&M offers. 2021 DE Renard Gwynn and 2022 QB Tevin Carter are both at West Memphis with Morris. West Memphis also has Tulane LB commit Kendarrius Moore and 2021 DT Terry Carter also holds an offer from Tulane.
Notes on the recruitment of a top OL prospect
Memphis (TN) 2020 OL Chris Morris is planning his return trip to College Station. He will take an unofficial to Texas A&M the weekend of June 14 and the Aggies will also receive his final official visit when he takes them in the fall. He will visit A&M this summer for camp with fellow P.U.R.E Youth members QB Tevin Carter (2022), DT Terry Carter (2021), DE Renard Gwynn (2021), and CB Tamerius Bell (2022). In addition to Texas A&M, Morris is also likely to camp at Alabama this summer. The Crimson Tide, Ohio State, and Clemson are also expected to receive official visits with Texas, Tennessee, and Oklahoma fighting for the fifth official.After talking with a few different sources I would say the Aggies continue to lead the way and have very good momentum at this time.
