Sheridan Wilson

Rockwall-Heath 2022 WR Jay Fair continues to put the Aggies high on his list. He does not have a narrowed list at this time, but Texas A&M and coach Craig continue to make an impression. We will have more from Fair later but he told me the Aggies would be in his top five right now. One school I would keep an eye on is TCU. He mentioned them a few times and there has been some TCU buzz surrounding Fair with wide receiver coach Malcolm Kelly is developing a strong bond there. I had the chance to see Jadon Scarlett and I will have an interview with him as well as some highlights from his workout. He currently checks in at a solid 6-2, 260. His powerful base, violent hands, and quickness definitely stood out as I watched him work. The Aggies continue to pursue with defensive line coach Terry Price leading the Aggies efforts. The Aggies are watching him closely and he has been keeping in close contact with coach Price. He does not have any decision plans for right now, but the Aggies are high on his list.https://twitter.com/Jason_Howell/status/1358176001679884290?s=20Denton Ryan 2023 LB Anthony Hill continues to show impressively at any and all showcases. He is a big fluid athlete and he has shown he can be just as effective dropping into coverage as he can pursuing the run or getting pressure in the backfield. He recently had a Zoom call with coach Santucci and the Aggies seem to be squarely in the mix. He plays 7-on-7 for True Buzz which also has strong ties to Buddy Johnson and Buddy is a guy Hill looks up to and respects. It is also clear he likes what he saw out of Texas A&M's defense. It is still early in his recruiting process, but Hill is a guy I expect the Aggies to be a real player for when he does decide to start narrowing his focus. We will have more from Hill later.There was a lot of Bryce Anderson talk over the weekend. It is clear Texas has ramped up their efforts, and right now, based on what I was told from a few different sources, they look like the Aggies' main competition for the West Brook standout. That said, based on the same sources, I still like Texas A&M's chances more than anyone elses and I say that with a pretty high confidence level. Coach Elko and coach Ish have done a great job developing the relationship there, and the relationship along with the SEC are nice pluses for the Aggies.Aledo S Bryan Allen is another top safety to recently re-open his recruitment after an early commitment to LSU. He says he is keeping his options open right now, but Texas, Georgia, Kansas State, and Texas Tech are four schools coming on very strong. He did mention Texas A&M as a school he wants to visit once the COVID Dead Period is lifted. Texas A&M is in the mix but I expect him to take his time. It was good to see DeSoto 2023 WR Johntay Cook over the weekend. He showed well throughout the weekend, making catches in traffic and creating space. He is one of the top receivers in 2023 and he was one of the first in-state offers the Aggies extended in the 2023 class. Closing out my Pylon coverage there are a few 2023s Texas A&M fans may want to write down. Justin Northwest QB Jake Strong led the Northwest Texans to a 7-4 record this fall and completed 197 of 306 passes for 2,319 yards, 25 TDs, and only 5 INTs. The ball pops out of his hand and he has the arm to make all the throws. Duncanville CB Deldrick Madison is another one. He turned quite a few heads this fall and is starting to see his offer list blow up. The 6-foot, 180-pound sophomore picked up offers from Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Missouri, and Michigan at the end of January. Then there is Arlington Seguin CB Jamel Johnson. Johnson has been on the Aggies radar the longest of all these guys, and has already visited College Station. He has been a mainstay on Seguin's defense the last two years. I have heard all three of these guys are emerging on Texas A&M's radar.Over the weekend I also had an opportunity to check out a few intriguing under the radar guys when I went to watch Jadon Scarlett. Argyle 2022 OL Sheridan Wilson has been one of my favorites in this class for awhile now. He currently checks in at 6-4.5, 280 and he has been impressive at every showing. He is a bit undersized for a tackle prospect but he gets bigger and bigger every time I see him and I won't be shocked at all if we are talking about a 6-5, 6-6 prospect by the time he hits a college campus. Great bend and athleticism, strong, and he is from a football family. Coach Henson also has some ties, he recruiting Sheridan's older brother to Oklahoma State. If he continues to grow I could see him becoming a legitimate prospect for the Aggies.https://twitter.com/Jason_Howell/status/1358172482159656966?s=20Argyle 2023 DE Michael Madrie was a guy who really caught my attention. It was the first time I saw him in person and he is a legitimate 6-4, maybe even 6-5. He has a great build and he is already 230. In addition to his size he impressed me this weekend with his quick first step and overall athleticism.https://twitter.com/Jason_Howell/status/1358171638395731981?s=20Another Argyle 2023 is OL/DL Wes Tucker. He is the younger brother of 2021 Texas Tech signee Jack Tucker, and I would give Wes the edge athletically over his older brother. He does not have quite the build of his older brother just yet, but Wes stands in at 6-5, 250 and I could see him growing into a nice OL prospect over the next few years. Then there was 2024 Flower Mound Marcus DT Matt Bryant. He is right around 6-2, 250 but what really stood out to me was how he competed with the older guys. He took on Sheridan Wilson, he faced another Argyle 2022 and even took on a 2021 who will play college ball and he held his own. He was quick off the ball, he worked his hands, and showed a lot of potential. https://twitter.com/Jason_Howell/status/1358174170861961221?s=20

As we get ready to undertake a full slate of Texas HS football this week, I thought it'd be a good refresher to list all the names we are monitoring in terms of A&M involvement as the season unfolds. Now, we are not saying all these kids are in-line for offers. Rather, these are kids that with a few weeks of strong tape could put themselves on the Aggie radar. I'll predominantly take care of the greater Houston area guys and leave Dallas up to Howell. Jason, if I miss anyone, feel free to add them. 2021RBAlton McCaskill - Conroe Oak RidgeOLRemington Strickland - Ft Bend ChristianCole Carson - Bogota Rivercrest (Arkansas)Kamron Scott - Converse Judson (UTSA)Canon Boone - Dickinson (Virginia Tech)Gabe Blair - Denton GuyerEzra Oyetade - Garland Lakeview Centennial (Arizona State)Jack Leyrer - Dallas Highland Park (Stanford)Jack Tucker - Argyle (Texas Tech)Tate Williams - Wall (Baylor)TEMason Tharp - Klein (Texas Tech)WRJohn Paul Richardson - Ft Bend Ridge Point (Oklahoma State)Nehemiah Noel - Galveston BallJerand Bradley - DeSoto (Texas Tech)DTByron Murphy II - DeSoto (Baylor)DEJe'lin Samuels - Pasadena Sam RayburnLandyn Watson - Hutto (TCU)LBKeith Cooper - Dickinson SCaleb Ellis - Frisco Independence (Stanford)2022QBCade Klubnik - Austin WestlakeConner Weigman - BridgelandNick Evers - Flower MoundRBJamarion Miller - Tyler LegacyHymond Drinkard - George RanchDamien Brown - LeonardOLCory Hendrix - College StationJihad Lateef - Lubbock EstacadoEthan Sanders - San Antonio ChristianNeto Umeozulu - AllenSheridan Wilson - ArgyleCaden Kitler - Plano John Paul IIErik Gray - AmarilloTETrent McGaughey - Shadow CreekHouston Thomas - College StationCody Mladenka - The Woodlands College ParkOmari Murdock - AllenWRRandy Masters - Shadow CreekJeremy Patton - TenahaKeith Wheeler II - AtascocitaAnthony Black - CoppellDTTre Emory - Mt PleasantKris Ross - North ShoreDETai Leonard - CyFallsDeMone Green - Houston HeightsCurlee Thomas - Fort Worth Nolan CatholicLBTy Kana - KatyJustin Medlock - ManvelOwen Pewee - CyParkNic Caraway - BryanBralon Jones - SpringJordan Crook - DuncanvilleTrevell Johnson - Arlington MartinTyrell Johnson - Arlington MartinCB Eric Hemphill III - BrenhamChandler Rivers - Beaumont UnitedDorian Friend - SpringJalon Peoples - Cedar HillSJacobe Chester - Ft Bend MarshallJaidan Scott - Shadow CreekDylan Dixson - PearlandSherrod Covil Jr. - North ShoreCollin Wright - ManvelKCarter Brown - Pearland Dawson

Some recruiting stuff I'm hearing out thereThere has been a lot of talk about Garland Lakeview Centennial five-star 2021 running back Camar Wheaton narrowing his options, and he may just do that in the next month or so. That said, right now I would say his recruiting process is still very wide open. After talking to a few sources close to his process major programs in Texas and Oklahoma are likely to play big roles in his recruiting process due to their proximity to the DFW-area and family. Talk of teams pulling away seems to be premature at this point.Aledo wide receiver JoJo Earle received an offer from Texas A&M on Friday and then Saturday he dropped a top five of Oklahoma, TCU, Ohio State, Alabama, and LSU. It was a bit surprising Texas was left out of his list because the Longhorns and LSU have been widely speculated to lead the way. It sounds like the change in offensive staff at Texas is what has them off his list right now. As for the Aggies, when the offer was extended I felt the Aggies were playing from behind since other top programs had already offered, but I do get the sense there is still time. I would not count out Earle making a campus visit. If the Aggies can get him on campus things start to look up. Dallas Skyline 2021 Quaydarius Davis has put the Aggies in his top five, but if I am making predictions I bet he ends up back at Texas when it is all said and done. Dallas Kimball 2021 CB Ishmael Ibraheem received an invitation to the Under Armour All-American game today. He has had Texas A&M high on his list of schools. Today he admitted the departure of Mo Linguist hit him pretty hard. That said, he still likes what the Aggies have to offer and several strong bonds in College Station. If I had to guess I'm pretty sure he will be one of the first calls for whoever is named cornerbacks coach, and I would also look for him to get to campus before the February dead period.A few notes from the last few daysTrench Warfare camp-Arlington Bowie 2022 OL Devon Campbell is one big, mean dude with some long arms. I see him as an OG prospect and Texas has an early edge. He grew up a longhorn fan and current Longhorn Tope Imade is a former Bowie Vol he looked up to. He already holds an offer from Texas and plans to visit soon.https://twitter.com/Jason_Howell/status/1216136707726303232?s=20-Campbell was the best overall prospect at the camp, but Mansfield Timberview 2021 OL Joshua Atkins had the best day from what I saw. He checks in at 6-4, 280 and has a long reach. He was light on his feet and won the great majority of his reps throughout the day. He currently holds an offer from Liberty.-Argyle 2022 OL Sheridan Wilson is also one to watch. He started at RT for Agyle and was named district newcomer of the year. He was the MVP of last year's trench warfare camp and he had another excellent showing. First off he passed the eyeball test with a mullet, a head band, and a porn stache. Then he was light on his feet and handled business in one-on-ones. His dad played at Auburn and his brother, Preston Wilson, is currently at Oklahoma State. Sheridan is 6-4, with a nice frame and I like him as an OC possibility. https://twitter.com/Jason_Howell/status/1216128726775336960?s=20-My high upside award goes to Rowlett 2022 DE Micheal Ibukun-Okeyode. He was a lean 6-foot-5, 215 pounds. He is young and raw but he flashed some nice athleticism. He showed some quickness, flexibility, and a nice little spin move. His length is very intriguing. As he gets in the weight room and improves his strength and he adds weight to his frame, he is a guy I could see developing into a major prospect. Pylon 7on7Here's a few standouts, and yes, I definitely focused in on a few teams while I was out there.WR Phaizon Wilson, Lancaster - 2022 - Just recently added Kansas to his offer list. At 6-3, 205, he is quick off the ball, has an effortless stride, and he attacks the ball. He was an every-down, every-situation threat for Team Grind. Kansas and Texas Tech have jumped on him early. He is also a standout basketball player for Lancaster.https://twitter.com/Jason_Howell/status/1216409124717678592?s=20S Isaiah Nwokobia, Dallas Skyline - 2021 - He may not have an ounce of fat on him and he was showed some great instincts and ball skills on the back end of the Team Grind defense. CB Malik Muhammad, Dallas South Oak Cliff - 2023 - He looked right at home playing against the best of the best for Team Grind. There's a reason he has already received several college offers and coaches at SOC are singing his praises. He was on point every time I focused on him. QB Brayden Schager, Dallas Highland Park - 2021 - In case you were wondering, yes, Highland Park has another QB who is going to play high level college football. He can make all the throws and he plays a smart brand of football. He has been a leader for Team Grind the last few years. QB Nick Evers, Flower Mound - 2022 - Evers is the son of former Texas A&M basketball walk-on Derrick Evers and he has shown quite a bit of ability. This weekend he threw with touch and accuracy and may have had the prettiest deep ball I saw all weekend as he worked with Texas Flex. He checks in at 6-3, 180.QB Garrett Nussmeier, Flower Mound Marcus - 2021 - Nussmeier continues to impress at every turn. He has the ability to fit the ball in some tight windows and he throws from multiple arm slots. He made some creative plays this weekend for Texas Flex.CB Ishmael Ibraheem, Dallas Kimball - 2021 - He was in lockdown mode all weekend for Texas Flex. https://twitter.com/Jason_Howell/status/1216069340027637764?s=20Some other notes- Jordan Crook hit a growth spirt. The 2022 LB just transferred from Bishop Dunne to Duncanville and he is a legit 6-foot, 220. That's up from about 5-10 this summer. He looks the part and he is excited to get to work at Duncanville. Duncanville's LBs are going to be flat out nasty. Crook, Kendrick Blackshire, and JD Thursby all hold high major offers. https://twitter.com/Jason_Howell/status/1216082785267527680?s=20-2022 QB Alex Orji has transferred from Bishop Dunne to Sachse. He is the younger brother of former Rockwall LBs Anfernee and Alston Orji. He transferred from Rockwall to Bishop Dunne for the 2019 season and spent some time on defense as well as offense.
