Following a strong showing at the Jimbo Fisher Football Camp, the Aggies extended an offer to 2023 Lake Stevens (WA) running back Jayden Limar, and he spoke to TexAgs about the news, his performance at camp, the experience in College Station and more.
Notes and thoughts from Thursday's Camp
-It was an offer bonanza this afternoon with scholarships handed out in the 2022, 2023, and 2024 class. The states of Texas, Washington, Georgia, and Florida were all hit and all of those guys stood out. Here's a quick recap of the offers CB Dorian Friend, Spring - Houston commit - speed, speed, speed, and fly paper cover skillsRB Tre Wisner, Waco Connally - 2023 - quick, explosive, and versatileRB Jayden Limar, Lake Stevens (WA) - 2023 - the solid build and burst caught my eye yesterdayOL Colton Thomasson, Smithson Valley - 2023 - see below DL Gabriel Harris, Thomasville (GA) Thomas County Central - 2023 - see below CB Caleb Presley, Sammamish (WA) Eastside Catholic - 2023 - he was my top DB yesterday afternoon without a doubtCB Vernon Glover Jr, Dickinson - 2023 - he may have had the most impressive showing of any CB this morningS Jack Luttrell, Dacula (GA) Hebron Christian Academy - 2023 - his footwork, athleticism, and range quickly drew attention.ATH Adam Hopkins, Thomasville (GA) Thomas County Central - 2023 - a do-it-all athlete who stands out on either side of the ballS Jaydan Hardy, Lewisville - 2024 - he can flat out go. Great offer to one of the state's best in 2024 -It was great to see Texas A&M commit Hunter Erb get out there and compete. He was not flawless as he worked at both guard and tackle but he showed strong. His footwork and power can be as strong as anyone's in the class and he handled all comers on the day. -Let's get to Julian Humphrey. The reviews were positive coming off his camp performance. He showed much better in drills and one-on-ones than I saw at the Elite Underclassmen Camp in April and I could see things picking up with the Aggies. We'll see, but I thought he showed well today. -The guy who opened my eyes the most today was Grayson Howard. The Jacksonville (FL) Andrew Jackson 2023 LB already had a Texas A&M offer when he arrived, but my goodness was he impressive. Whether it was drills, one-on-ones, or 7-on-7 he attacked it with intensity. He was first in line and he was leading the way. He also looks the part and has the makings of a first off the bus kind of guy. -The guy who jumped off the charts from an eyeball test standpoint was Gabriel Harris. The Thomasville (GA) Thomas County Central he did not workout today because he was icing up an injury, but my goodness he is how you draw up a defensive lineman. The 6-4, 240-pound standout walked in the room and owned it. Seeing him in person combined with his tape was enough for Jimbo to put that offer on the table. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/12353967/5f8c2874bd754b0990826e57 -I really like the Colton Thomasson offer. This is one I thought might happen after I saw him at the Elite Underclassmen Camp in April. He has put in a tremendous amount of work to reshape his body and his athleticism has surfaced as he has grown and matured. He has lost about 70 pounds since I saw him as a giant 8th grader and he checks in right around 6-7, 330. -Fort Worth Nolan Catholic 2023 Kaleb James also caught my attention. I thought he had the best day of any defensive lineman. He was constantly at the front of the line during one-on-ones. It seemed like he was always taking a rep and he went after the top guys at the camp. He worked inside and outside and I thought he made a strong case for an offer. He is a little bit of a tweener and the in-state d-line talent in 2023 is very deep. He did not get the Texas A&M offer today, but I think he firmly planted himself on the radar. -Waco Connally 2024 CB Kobe Black was another of my favorite standouts who did not get the offer today. I would put him and Tallahassee (FL) John Paul II CB Makari Vickers. Those two both had great size and athleticism for the DB position and were locking guys up in one-on-one drills. -The QB position had some real head turners today. Choctow (OK) 2023 Steele Wasel, Richmond Foster 2023 JT Fayard, Pearland Shadow Creek 2023 Duke Butler, and Willis 2024 Derek Lagway all spun the ball well today.
A few notes and stuff from Day 1 of Camp
Alright let's highlight a few of our news, notes, and standouts from today's campNew offerTE Jaden Platt, Haslet Eaton - The 6-5, 225-pound standout earned an offer after a strong camp performance. He stood out from the beginning of drills all the way through to the end, and it was not really a surprise. He has been lighting up camps this spring with an 81-inch wingspan, a 10-4 broad jump, and a 4.8 40 and he has also recently reeled in offers from Iowa State, Texas Tech, and Florida State. He is also pretty new to the position, he moved from QB to WR this fall so he has a lot of upside. The Texas A&M offersDB Bryce Anderson, Beaumont West Brook - Anderson made the trip with several teammates making it his second trip to Aggieland in less than a week. He was able to connect with Bobby Taylor again as well as the coaches. All in all, it looks like the Aggies have some positive momentum going at the moment. DE Ernest Cooper IV, Arlington Martin - He did not camp today but it is notable he was in town to cheer on a few teammates. He will visit Ohio State this weekend and he has plans to take an OV to A&M this summer. CB Laterrance Welch, Lafayette (LA) Acadiana - The LSU commit worked at CB and he is fast and physical. He passes the eyeball test and was in the face of receivers all day long. DB Dalton Brooks, Shiner (2023) - He worked at S during 7-on-7 and worked with the DBs at the camp this afternoon. He showed some nice range across the back end and was able to spend some quality time with and met coach Fisher afterward.DE Jayden Wayne, Tacoma (WA) Lincoln (2023) - talk about turning heads as soon as he walked through the door, that is your guy Wayne. He passes the eye ball test with his size and the athleticism is easy to spot once he goes through drills. He is a different type of prospect and showed very well throughout the day. I would put him as the top performer of the day.DE Dylan Spencer, Houston CE King (2023) - Spencer was the headliner of the DL group this morning. He got the job done in one-on-ones OL Micah Banuelos, Burien (WA) Lincoln Catholic (2023) - An interior prospect he showed quick feet and flexibility and a strong punch to go with it.OL Isendre Ahfua, Seattle (WA) O'Dea (2024) This is another one who just comes right in and commands attention. He goes by the nickname Papa and it is easy to see why he is racking up offers with each and every college visit.Offer Watch There are a few I would guys who showed well today that I could see the Aggies potentially offer down the road, and Houston Thomas and Van Wells, and Micah Bell and Dillon Bell headline that list. Wells is on the short side but he dominated camp like he has all spring long. As an interior/center prospect, he is a high-level prospect. Thomas is a long, lean 6-6, 220 and if the Aggies are going to take a second tight end he made a strong case with his catch radius, body control, and hands all catching the eye. Micah Bell clocked a 4.38 40 and then hit the low 4.4s on his second attempt. Dillon has a stout build and showed a lot of versatility as an offensive playmaker. He was also a standout throughout the day at DT. Washington standout 2023s Jayden Limar and Caleb Presley also caught the eye. Presley is a fluid athlete with good size and showed why several programs have already jumped on board for the CB. Limar showed some real explosion and suddenness while working at RB.If you're looking for a young guy to watch, Melissa 2024 DE Nigel Smith II is your guy. He has the size and the athleticism and already holds offers from LSU, North Texas, UTSA, and Notre Dame. His dad played and SMU, and he is definitely an early offer candidate.Others who caught our attentionRB Marquise Collins, College Station (2023)WR Ashton Simmons, Beaumont West Brook (2024)OL Gage Stanaland, Tuscola Jim Ned (2023)OL Rhett Larson, College Station A&M ConsolidatedCB Tayshawn Wilson, Katy Mayde Creek (2023)S DeJuan Lewis, Pearland Shadow CreekATH Hunter Moddon, Houston Clear Lake (2024)
Top Pacific Northwest talents to descend on Aggieland
Several top prospects from the Pacific Northwest are headed to College Station tomorrow (Wednesday). A group from Ford Sports Performance (FSP), one of the leading 7-on-7 and talent development programs in the country, heading to town and they are bringing the serious talent from Washington state.2023 DE Jayden Wayne Tacoma (WA) Lincoln headlines a group arriving with Texas A&M offers already in hand. He checks in at 6-5, 240. I saw him play TE for the FSP group at the Pylon Las Vegas 7on7 event earlier this year, and e immediately jumps out from a size, athleticism standpoint. I fully expect to generate quite a bit of buzz upon his arrival. In addition to A&M he pretty much has his pick of school across the country. This is a 6-5, 240-pound 2023 DE, Jayden Wayne (@JaydenWayne8) Tacoma (WA) Lincoln. That is one big, athletic dude. pic.twitter.com/v1Tf263tdb— Jason Howell (@Jason_Howell) February 21, 2021
The Aggies were also one of the first to offer 2023 6-3, 285-pound OL Micah Banuelos of Burien (WA) Lincoln Catholic. He has also received scholarship offers from Nevada and Washington.Then there is 2024 Isendre Ahfua of Seattle (WA) O'Dea who checks in at 6-4, 330-pounds and went viral on his photoshoot at Alabama. Texas A&M offered on Friday. He also holds offers from Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Nevada, Utah, and USC.He's only 14 years old 😳(via @tfordfsp1, @gofordsports)pic.twitter.com/yK9iAmNbyq— Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) June 4, 2021
