Around Texas: A round-up of recruiting news in the Lone Star State
Around the state of Texas, decisions are being made, visits are being taken, and offers are being extended as the regular season has now kicked off. It is time to take a look at the latest happenings on the Lone Star state recruiting front.
Some DFW stuff
Texas A&M is doing some work in DFW with the commitment of Eli Stowers and keeping themselves in the running for several others like Deuce Harmon, Dametrious Crownover, Armani Winfield, Shemar Turner, Keithian Alexander just to name a few. Here are a few notes on a few more guys you may want to put on the radar.* South Oak Cliff LB/ATH Jaydon Williams visited College Station over the weekend. At 6-2, 200, his quick twitch made him a force off the edge at SOC. He has also been putting in work with True Buzz on the 7-on-7 circuit and you can see he's more than just an edge threat.https://twitter.com/MrJDavis96/status/1237419533419372544?s=20* A few more names I've been hearing on the A&M radar include Argyle OL Jack Tucker, DeSoto DT Byron Murphy II, and McKinney DE/DL Jonathan Jones. * Tucker is a big-framed, flexible tackle who has been a pretty hot prospect with recent offers coming from Auburn and USC. He earned OL MVP at the Next Level Athlete Camp in Dallas in January.* Murphy continues to be my favorite pure 3-tech in the state. The size has kept some big programs away, but eventually I see his athleticism winning them over. He was incredibly productive in 2019 with 98 tackles, 12 TFLs, 5.5 sacks, 6 QB hurries, 3 FR, and 4 FF.https://www.hudl.com/video/3/10945691/5dcaa90d9676d40d98d6cf78* Jonathan Jones is football/basketball guy at 6-4, 230. His biggest offers right now are Arizona State and Texas Tech, but Oklahoma State has been taking a long look and he recently visited OU. If you're looking for a few under the radar DEs check out Mansfield Timberview 2021 duo Terrell Tilmon and Raam Stevenson. These guys both bring some intriguing size at around 6-4, 200 with some length on their frames. The P5s are taking notice.* If you're looking for a rising star in the metroplex, look no further than Frisco Liberty 2022 WR Evan Stewart. Already this spring he has posted a 21.08 200m, 10.7 100m, a 47-9 triple jump, and a 24-6 long jump. He also did some pretty solid work in the fall with 43 receptions for 757 yards and 7 TDs. He only has offers from Baylor, Kansas, Hawaii, North Texas, and William and Mary. It's safe to say his list will be growing. He's visiting LSU this weekend.https://www.hudl.com/video/3/10161731/5df170d63452a90fb4c2e077* It has been a good long while since the Garland Owls were producing top prospects, but it looks like the 2022 class is going to change that. RB Jayshon Powers, WR Jordan Hudson, and S Chace Biddle are turning heads early in the game, and there are a few more to keep an eye on as well.* Duncanville is incredibly loaded and it will remain that way for the foreseeable future. Not just in the 2021s with several guys receiving major attention, but the 2022 class is ridiculous too. Just look in the trenches: DE Omari Abor (6-4, 240), OL Cameron Williams (6-4, 330), OL Jaylen Early (6-4, 260), TE Marcus Vinson (6-4, 215). All of them already have P5 offers. Then there is 2023 QB Chris Parson who stepped in for an injured Ja'Quinden Jackson to start the state championship game and just picked up an offer from Iowa.
