Xavier Filsaime

As he does every Friday morning, TexAgs' senior recruiting analyst Jason Howell offered up another round of his recruiting thoughts in this edition of My Three Things. This week, Howell discusses the positive feedback heard after a busy recruiting weekend and more.

After the visit I was told the Aggies saw some positive movement with Nappanee (IN) Northwood standout Nitro Tuggle and in a recent check with sources close to him I'm told the Aggies are very much in the running to bring him back on an official visit. He and his uncle were able to meet with coach Fisher and coach Craig on the visit and I was told there was plenty of positivity there. Another out of state prospect to keep an eye on is Lilburn (GA) Parkview cornerback Jalyn Crawford. He was joined on the visit by his dad and sources out in Georgia tell me the Aggies made a strong impression on his visit and have moved up his list. A return visit, most likely for an official, has been talked about as well. I continue to hear the Aggies are hot on the trail of longtime Florida State S commit Jordan Pride out of Blountstown (FL). He was a standout at camp last summer and I'm told the Aggies have been hot on his trail ever since. Getting him back on campus is key but communication continues and he is a prospect to watch. In-state I continue to hear the Aggies have positioned themselves well with Waco Connally standout CB Kobe Black. He visited for Junior Day in January and had some very positive sentiments following the trip and talking with a few sources close to his recruitment the Aggies have remained high in his mind. He hasn't narrowed his list, but I'm told the Aggies are a strong contender in his recruitment. Another in-state name I continue to hear positive movement with is McKinney S Xavier Filsaime. He released a top 11 in December without the Aggies, but Texas A&M offered in January and I hear the Aggies have made some moves. He has been to campus a few times in the past and has a relationship with the staff so there is a history there. I hear LSU and Oregon are big contenders there, and he just returned from Baton Rouge. He also has spring trips planned to Florida and Georgia.

National Signing Day has come and gone as the focus officially shifts to the class of 2024, where things are beginning to heat up in a hurry. It is time to take a look at the latest happenings in the Lone Star state and SEC footprint on the recruiting front.
