Notes and thoughts from my high school visits
This week I stopped by Fort Worth Brewer, Tyler Legacy, Garland, and Garland Naaman ForestTexas A&M offers RB Jamarion Miller, Tyler Legacy - checked in at 5-10, 200, and looks like a feature back. Look for the Aggies to get an unofficial visit this summer. He plans to take official visits to Florida, Oklahoma State, and USC, and he has an unofficial visit planned to Alabama. S Chace Biddle, Garland - Biddle has been out for much of the spring with a foot injury, but coaches have been working him in over the last two weeks. In drills this week his foot did not seem to bother him and he looks like he is returning to normal. He has official visits scheduled to Oklahoma and TCU. He had an official scheduled to Texas A&M but is rescheduling it because it is the same weekend as the Under Armour Future 50. He is currently talking to A&M about June 26-28. DT Bear Alexander, Fort Worth Brewer - He was out sick when I stopped by on Tuesday but the coaches were singing his praises as a player and teammate. When he's on defense, they flat out cannot stop him. As I mentioned on Wednesday, he is committed to Georgia and I wouldn't expect that to change any time soon. I also do not expect A&M to back away any time soon either, and I bet we see him in College Station for a visit or two before everything is said and done. DT/OL Markis Deal, Garland Naaman Forest (2023) - Deal is having a bit of a growth spurt. He now checks in at 6-5, 280 and the offers have been rolling in this spring. It is still very early in the process and he is drawing attention on both sides of the ball. He comes from a family of athletes. His father played DL at UTEP, his mother played basketball and volleyball at UTEP, and both are coaches. His brother Devean just signed with Tulane and drew attention at both DE and TE. I also hear he has a couple of younger siblings to watch for down the road. He is a competitor and he is an athlete. If you didn't see the picture of me with him and his dad, just check out below because you can see just how big he is. They are still trying to figure out their summer travel plans right now, and they are discussing plans to get to College Station. I bet they end up in Aggieland at some point. The Aggies are recruiting Markis on both sides of the ball. Thank you @Jason_Howell for stopping by the 🌲🌲🌲today. It was a pleasure talking with you. #WAM #naaamanexposure #relentless @Webb_Bears @Sellers_Sharks pic.twitter.com/6RFfHnmXuZ— Coach Perales (@CoachP_WAM) May 20, 2021
DB Jordon Johnson-Rubell, Fort Worth Brewer (2024) - Johnson-Rubell is also very early in his recruiting process. He can play both S and CB and he plans to visit Texas A&M this summer. He also has plans to camp/visit at Alabama and Clemson. On the radar RB Bryson Donnell, Tyler Legacy - We have been saying it all week, the 5-10.5, 205-pound back can flat out bring it as well. Texas Tech, Colorado, and Arkansas appear to be the favorites right now, but the Aggies are keeping an eye on him. Look for him to camp this summer. Underclassmen to watch OL Justus Perales, Garland Naaman Forest (2023) - 6-3, 250, the son of Naaman Forest head coach Jesse Perales, mean and nasty in the trenches, has a nice frame and room for growth. Put him on your radars. TE Kamorreun Pimpton, Fort Worth Brewer (2023) - 6-foot-6 and 205, and runs a 4.78 40. He plays WR and TE for Brewer but it does not take much imagination to see him as a TE prospect. DE Tim Muhammad, Garland (2023) - 6-4, 225, and can run. ATH Will Washington, Fort Worth Brewer (2023) - 6-3, 180, runs a 4.58 40 and plays both WR and S OL Angel Martinez, Fort Worth Brewer (2023) - 6-4, 250, flexible with a 6-8.5 wingspan DT Gabriel Williams, Garland 2024 - Solidly built 6-2, 255 and has put together a strong spring. Let's talk about this Fort Worth Brewer 2024 class, there's some real strong prospects in this group. Brewer has not won a playoff game in over 30 years, but I bet good money this group changes that before they leave. Many of these guys saw varsity playing time as a freshman and all are equipped with big time tools. WR Keiran Patrick-Daniels is an electric playmaker who can play several spots on the field. Kind of like an Ainias Smith type. ATH Cameron Clay plays WR, TE, DE at 6-2, 190 and clocks a 4.85 40. Mehki Elmore is a 5-10, 180-pound hard hitting nickel/safety-type with great instincts. OL Adrian Lewis checks in at 6-6, 320 and is just tapping into his vast potential. He is light on his feet with plenty of bend and flexibility. LB Elizjah Richardson is already a leader at 5-10, 205 and DB Trey King passes the eye test at 6-1, 165. Sleepers I'm just going to say the Garland Owls have some talent that college coaches should be all over. Chace Biddle and Jordan Hudson draw all the headlines but there is plenty of talent in that 2022 class. QB Cergio Perez headlines this group for me. He recently committed to South Dakota, but this is a FBS prospect if you ask me. He has been a starter since his freshman year and has thrown for over 2,000 yards in two of those years. He missed that mark by 11 yards as a freshman and he has thrown 20 or more TDs all three seasons. RB Jayshon Powers checks in at 6-0, 185 and runs a 4.45 40. He holds offers from Tulane, Illinois State, and Oklahoma State and has been a varsity playmaker since his freshman year. He also runs track and plays basketball. CB Aaron King checks in at 5-11, 170 pounds and he is a wet blanket to WRs on the field. Kansas and Illinois State have offered but he deserves more looks. Then there is the receiver room. Joining Hudson are Ellis Rogers (6-1, 180), Charles Allen (6-2, 190), and Eric Morrow (6-1, 200). All of these guys have D1 potential.
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.
