A few recruiting notes
So I have a couple of 2020 LB nuggets for you. St. Louis (MO) Lutheran North LB Antonio Doyle Jr. says he hears from coach Jimbo Fisher more than any other head coach and he is making plans to get down to College Station in May or June. He has his eyes set on playing in the SEC, and he loves what he has heard about the Aggie Network and the Aggie ring. At 6-4, 220 he has been one of the hottest LBs in the nation, and yesterday, he picked up an offer from Alabama.Norcross (GA) Greater Atlanta Christian LB Choe Bryant-Strother made some big waves over the weekend with the highest SPARQ score of the Opening Regional in Atlanta. His 37-inch vertical and 4.1 shuttle at 6-3, 230 are eye popping. He hears regularly from coach Peveto and said, "Coach Peveto is my man." He has upcoming visits to Ole Miss, UCLA, Nebraska, and Virginia, and he is also making plans to visit Texas A&M this summer.Now for a couple of quick DL notes. Houma (LA) Terrebonne 2021 DT Maason Smith will visit Texas this weekend and he will return to the Lone Star state next weekend to visit Texas A&M. Lafayette (LA) Lafayette Christian 2022 DT Fitzgerald West also has his eyes on the Aggies. He is a prospect on the rise and has turned quite a few heads on the camp circuit the last few months. He picked up a Colorado offer a couple of weeks ago and he would like to earn a Texas A&M offer. He plans to camp in College Station this summer.
