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
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.
A return to prominence: Examining the 2022 in-state linebacker class
The talent around Texas high school football is apparently and always has been. However, in recent years, the skill at linebacker has taken a step back, but with a deep crop of talent in the class of 2022, that is about to change.
Some Wednesday recruiting notes
- Some out of state names at safety that I've heard are really reciprocating interest with the Aggies early on are Winter Park (FL) native Dakota Mitchell, 6-4, 185 pound Beggs (OK) standout Kendal Daniels, and Miami (FL) Northwestern's Kamren Kinchens. If you'll remember, Kinchens told me recently that he is making plans to come to College Station this spring or summer. However, of the three mentioned, my gut tells me he's the tallest hill to climb currently. We've seen this staff do it before, but they'll have ground to make up with Kamren as LSU, Miami, and Ohio State are widely considered the leaders. - There's a new in-state name at linebacker that's starting to create some buzz in 2021. I was first told about Dylan Hazen from The Woodlands College Park by Josh Bankhead and his family. While he's got some shorter features in terms of wing span and reach, he does stand over 6 foot and tips the scale at around 220 pounds. He's also a twitchy kid with good explosive energy in his lower body - so much so that he's recently run consecutive sub 4.4 hand timed 40's. That feat alone resulted in a phone call to Looch from a source at College Park. A&M LB coach Tyler Santucci went by the school last month and got to put his eyes on Dylan. From talking to folks in the area, it sounds like the Aggies will be by again later this spring to see him in actual football workouts. From there, it wouldn't surprise me to see him camp in College Station this summer. I'd put him in the same group as Jacorey Hyder from Woodville in terms of in-state guys that A&M will monitor this cycle. Tulsa and Rice have offered in the last couple of weeks, but he's also begun to hear from Texas, as well. Here's his junior tape.https://www.hudl.com/video/3/9851843/5da8ed093453690ea0f5c37a- Jason and I have already begun talking about the 'real' return of the linebacker to the state of Texas is likely to come in the class of 2022, and I randomly stumbled upon a new one this morning. Bralon Jones is a 6-1, 205 pound LB prospect from Spring who's Hudl tape I accidentally clicked on while perusing Twitter this morning. I was surprised at what I had come across though. Check it out. I think it's worth a look. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/12397841/5dddd2f19680cc16308f4dc1
