Sean Sallis

The high school and college football seasons might be in full swing, but recruiting never stops. With offers and decisions having to be made from some top-tier prospects, it is time to check out the latest news and notes from across the state.

- Bainbridge (GA) CB Deyon Bouie popped up on my radar again yesterday. Like I said when I first mentioned his name, A&M still has a long way to go. However, I'm starting to feel like the chances are increasingly likely that the Aggies get him on campus this summer and/or fall. If that happens, there's a path to adding him to this 2022 class. Just something to file away, but it would be a big deal. - Something we've mentioned here and there is the possibility of A&M maybe adding a second tight end to the class. With Baylor Cupp, Blake Smith, and Fernando Garza all coming off of season ending injuries, I think the thought of pairing Donovan Green with another tight end is something to consider. Some names our recruiting team continues to hear pop up are Carrollton Creekview's Sean Sallis, Lucas Lovejoy's Omari Murdock, and Houston Thomas from College Station High. Also, I'll be interested to see if a guy like Baylor commit Cody Mladenka out of The Woodlands College Park shows up to camp in a couple of weeks. - Talked to a pair of Houston area sources yesterday who independently expressed growing or continued confidence with A&M's chances to land The Woodlands LB Martrell Harris and Ft Bend Marshall WR Chris Marshall. Both are scheduled for June official visits which will be huge for A&M to grab a stranglehold on those recruitments. Martrell has Oklahoma and Notre Dame hot after him, and USC has emerged as the main competition for Marshall. - Beaumont West Brook S Bryce Anderson announced a commitment date of July 4th yesterday on his Instagram. Bryce had previously told me that he would make a decision later in the calendar - perhaps during the presentation of his Under Armour All American jersey. The reason for that was because he had scheduled an official visit to Michigan during the season due to his relationship with Maurice Linguist. Now that Mo is gone to Buffalo, I don't believe he'll make that trip. In my view of where things now stand, I think Bryce will take his OV to A&M next month with the Aggies having work to do. I haven't always felt that way, even with much of the media penciling him into the Texas class. However, I do now feel like there are too many little nuanced details indicating the Aggies trail at the moment. Is it an insurmountable lead? Absolutely not. In fact, I can envision a scenario where these June officials leave Bryce with too much to think about or where he wants to see how each program performs this fall and subsequently delays his decision a little more. - Staying at safety, I've got a sneaking suspicion A&M lands one of these highly regarded out of state kids. I don't know which one it'll be, but the way it's unfolding feels awfully similar to a few of Jimbo's previous big out of state wins. For the record, I'm talking about Xavier Nwankpa, Kamari Wilson, and Keon Sabb.
