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
A pair of Thursday recruiting notes
- Yesterday's about-face from Lucedale (MS) DB MJ Daniels was one of the quicker 180's you will see from a top flight recruit. Hours after tweeting that he'd be announcing his college choice on Friday, Daniels decided to hold off until December to make his final decision. If you were following the thread yesterday, you know that had MJ stuck to that Friday timeline, it was likely going to be a destination other than Aggieland. I think the original announcement caught a lot of folks by surprise, and it caused a big stir amongst his group of finalists. From what I was told, it sounds like after speaking to some people close to him, MJ decided to delay his decision to get a better look at each of his finalists in terms of what they put on the field and how he'd fit into their systems. There's also still the off chance that visits could happen at some point this fall thus providing him an opportunity to see some campuses in person. I'm planning to be in southern Mississippi next week to see George County's home opener.- We've discussed a few names to watch in the class of 2022 in terms of who could be amongst that next group of offers. Guys like Ty Kana, Cade Klubnik, Randy Masters, and Justin Medlock. Well, it's probably time to add Beaumont United CB Chandler Rivers's name to that group. The 5-10, 175 pounder has added SEC offers from Tennessee and Missouri this week to go along with Pac12 offers from Utah and Colorado. A source in southeast Texas told me this afternoon that the Aggies have begun to express a bit of interest. I'm going to be keeping an eye on his tape early in the season - a strong first few games could put Rivers squarely on the radar of the power players in the region. You'll notice in his sophomore highlights that he's got a knack for getting his hands on the football. http://www.hudl.com/video/3/8277025/5dcef4155b3e660fe40b8811
