Unoffered names to keep an eye on
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
Scattershooting Recruiting: Secondary 'on the cusp', a look ahead to '22 & more
With Texas A&M's '21 recruiting class taking shape as summer kicks off, the Aggie secondary is looking like it will be a dominant group for Mike Elko. Billy takes a closer look at the defensive backfield, '22 Texas recruits Jimbo Fisher is targeting and an 'out-of-state gem.'

Two local underclass names to know
I spent the morning watching the summer workouts over at College Station HS. Coach Steve Huff has another really talented roster, and his 2022 class, much like the rest of the state, is loaded. Two names to know/keep an eye on in terms of A&M interest are WR/TE Houston Thomas and OL Cory Hendrix. Both kids have caught the eye of their respective position coaches just up the road in James Coley and Josh Henson. Thomas currently stands 6-4, 205 pounds, but he's a long limbed kid with plenty of room to fill out. He's an easy mover with good hip mobility and an impressive catch radius. I feel like Landen King is a good comp for him. It wouldn't surprise me if he plays this fall at around 215 pounds. Here's some clips and a picture I posted on Twitter.https://twitter.com/r_brauninger/status/1270364840662622209?s=21https://twitter.com/r_brauninger/status/1270352186288099329?s=21https://twitter.com/r_brauninger/status/1270350622131400706?s=21Hendrix was a little banged up as a sophomore, but he's got some real burst and suddenness in his 6-5, 310 pound frame. He's a young kid for his grade, similar to Akinola Ogunbiyi, and his body isn't anywhere near matured yet. He's making the move from right to left tackle this year, but I think he could wind up being similar to Matthew Wykoff in that he could project at any of the 5 OL spots.https://twitter.com/r_brauninger/status/1270355553647243264?s=21https://twitter.com/r_brauninger/status/1270365297858490370?s=21
