Terrance Brooks

A few thoughts from last night I caught up with Neto Umeozulu after the game about his visit to A&M last weekend. I will spare you a recap of the interview, but here is the link and.I do have a few thoughts. I would not call the Aggies a favorite or a leader but they are a real contender. It sounds like last week's visit helped the cause and it caught my attention how often he mentioned the passion of the fans. He does not have a decision timeline, but I definitely get the feeling he wants to do something as soon as he feels he has reached a solid decision. In 2023, Allen DL David Hicks is a top priority and Clemson was out there tonight watching him closely. The Aggies remain in close contact. He speaks to coach Elijah Robinson pretty much daily, and he has a great bond with the A&M staff. He does not have any visits on his schedule right now. His dad, who is Allen's DL coach, often has to work on Saturday which prevents them from scheduling too far in advance. He took his first gameday visit to Texas A&M a few weeks ago, and here's a link to that interview. Now for some on-field notes and thoughts. Neto was out with an elbow injury, but it looks like he is on the mend and should be back soon. David Hicks is a bad dude. Little Elm made sure he saw multiple blockers throughout the game but he did get some good pressure. One thing I will never question is his motor. If he's on the field he is working towards the ball. Great build and frame, and he is powerful and explosive whether playing inside or out. Allen did most of their damage on the ground and Jaylen Jenkins led the way. He put the first two scores on the board and had three of the first four Allen TDs. He is not the biggest guy but he is versatile and he is quick, fast, and strong in his lower half. He is putting together quite the season and last night he finished with four scores as Allen pulled away for the big win. Credit also goes to an experienced OL, they paved the way for a great night on the ground for Allen. Little Elm QB John Mateer is a really good sleeper QB. Central Arkansas got themselves a good one and he has a couple of other FCS offers I really respect when it comes to QBs in Incarnate Word and Houston Baptist. It was a tough night for Little Elm but in the first half especially he had them driving and he converted several big 3rd downs. 6-0, 6-1, 200, solid build. He made some good throws and he has the mobility to make a few guys miss. Little Elm CB and Ohio State commit Terrance Brooks had a few tackles but overall it was a pretty quiet night as Allen did most of their work on the ground.
