Recruiting notes - Thursday evening
- I don't know if y'all listened to Recruiting Country this week, but I mentioned a rising 2024 prospect in southeast Texas that's begun emerging on a lot of college radars, including Texas A&M's. Brock Jackson is a junior-to-be at Lumberton who came to camp in College Station last summer at about 6-2, 215 pounds and worked out at linebacker. Well, now he's nearly 6-4, 240 pounds and has run a true 4.7 in the 40 according to multiple sources. Darrell Dickey was in the area last week to see him. Jackson was supposed to visit this weekend, but the trip was rescheduled to next weekend so that the entire staff would be around Bright. Just something to keep an eye on in terms of new offers in-state. - Speaking of visitors, the summer official and unofficial schedule is slowly starting to work itself out. OL commit Colton Thomasson told me that he and Steve Addazio are working on a "big man weekend" where a couple of A&M's top targets up front, most notably Harris Sewell and TJ Shanahan, all come in town together. Based on my last check, I still feel like the Aggies are in a very strong position for both of those kids as we head into summer. - Continuing on that summer theme, I think you'll see a whole host of A&M's top skill prospects take trips to College Station in the later part of June. Two of those names mentioned to me today were El Campo RB Rueben Owens and Alabaster (AL) CB Tony Mitchell. - I was told by a south Houston source this week that A&M is taking a long look at Friendswood pass rusher Braylan Shelby. My contacts down there said the kid has really blown up and added a lot of mass and strength to his frame this off-season. No offer from the Aggies at this time, but I do think he'll come to camp this summer. I was told USC, Tennessee, and Texas are the 3 schools standing out currently.
