ETSN East Texas Combine - lots of talent
Alright sorry I'm a little late posting notes but I've got some great ones. Let's start with the big dog, Tyler John Tyler Damion Miller. Texas A&M continues to show interest and have invited him to the BBQ in June. He does not know yet if he will be able to make it right now. He did say he would probably make a visit to A&M this summer.He is committed to Texas and today he is rocking a UT jacket. He is still looking around and said he is about 80-percent committed. The biggest competition for UT right now is Ole Miss and Baylor.I got the feeling he likes that A&M is showing interest but that he is not all that high on the Aggies.His 2018 teammate Dekalen Goodson, DE/LB, is a little higher on Texas A&M. He grew up a fan of Houston and A&M. Houston was because of Tyus Bowser who played at John Tyler before moving on to UH. A&M, he just always liked the school and the colors. He picked up his first offer from Miss St last week along with 2018 LB teammate Tre Allison. Allison did not grew up a fan of any schools, but the SEC does have his attention. He does hope to hear from A&M, and liked what he saw when he took a trip to College Station about 4 years ago with his aunt. He saw Kyle Field and envisioned himself playing in the facility.Carthage 2018 LB Ahmad Brown passed the eyeball test at 6-0, 225. He grew up an A&M fan because of his cousin Ed Pope. SMU is showing the most attention with TCU also showing interest.2017 Center WR Octavius Evans continued to receive interest from Texas A&M. Moorehead dropped by the school and he's looking at going to camp. Out of his offers Oklahoma St and Miss St have his attention, Baylor and TCU have his attention out of those who haven't offered yet.Marshall OC Chasen Hines has been offered by Baylor, and LSU is coming on strong. TCU and K-State are also on him. He grew up a fan of LSU and he plans to camp in Baton Rouge. He hasn't heard much from A&M but he does plan to attend the camp in Kilgore. He said it's too early to declare leaders in recruiting.Mineola 2018 LB Michael Drennon is the son of Mineola head coach Joe Drennon. He is really close with the Anderson twins and he stands in at 6-0, 217. He plans to camp at A&M.Quick note on Lagaryonn Carson, Texas A&M continues to show a lot of interest. Both Chavis and Price stopped by this spring. I was told by someone close to him "UT leads but you never know with these kids." Baylor and Arkansas also continue to show interest
