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

Five 2022s I could easily see emerging on A&M's radar
These five guys caught my attention while I was making my rounds. None of these guys have offers from Texas A&M, but I could easily see all of that changing over the course of the recruiting process.WR Anthony Black, Coppell - Black has absolutely exploded on the basketball recruiting scene in the last few weeks with offers coming from TCU, Texas Tech, Texas, and St. Louis yesterday. He is the son of former Baylor-standout basketball player Terry Black and he is long, lean, and athletic. At 6-5, 185 he has a tremendous catch radius, he likes to get physical, and he has some big, soft hands. Before this stretch his best offers were on the football side, but it certainly looks like basketball is making a strong push. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/12264554/5dc821655b479a0db06a6033DE Jack Curtis, Dallas Highland Park - Curtis is a big athletic strongside d-end type at 6-foot-4, 220. He comes off the ball low, he works his hands, takes on blocks, and he can round the corner coming off the edge. Overall he is one of the more underrated disruptive defenders in that 2022 class, and a guy I expect to see some top notch offers.https://www.hudl.com/video/3/11516830/5deeec47066c1d0d7c744cc7OL Neto Umeozulu, Allen - There may not be a hotter OL prospect in the state right now. He has added offers from Houston, Baylor, and Colorado in the last few days and he is doing it off of a limited highlight reel. His size is an eye catcher at 6-foot-4, 300-pounds and what tape he does have shows a whole lot of promise. Big, athletic, and mean, he gets after it one the field.https://www.hudl.com/video/3/12384296/5d9220235eecf40fc080d112DL Nic Caraway, Bryan - He played at 260 last fall and he now checks in at 230. He moves well enough at camps to turn heads at LB which is not easy, and he has spent time at a number of positions over the course of his career. I tend to like him as a DL just because he does have the room to grow. Regardless of position this is a guy I could see blowing up as coaches have a chance to watch him move and play.https://www.hudl.com/video/3/13224625/5e9231331761d605889435d9OL Caden Kitler, Plano John Paul II - He is right around the 6-3 mark which has hurt him on the recruiting front, but I absolutely love the tape. He is athletic, bends well, is light on his feet, has a powerful punch, and he finishes strong. He plays OT for John Paul, but he is a guy I think could easily move inside to OC. He recently received his first offer from Illinois St. but I see him being a P5 guy when it is all said and done. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/11214336/5d8067a05b46ad1218467a30A few more to watch just because there's been several really good ones. And, I'm sure I'm leaving a few guys offOL Hunter Erb, Haslet EatonRB Zach Evans, Rockwall-HeathQB Nick Evers, Flower MoundCB Chandler Rivers, Beaumont UnitedWR Sean Sallis, Carrollton CreekviewOL Jacob Waller, ArlingtonWR Jace Wilson, Denton Guyer
