Stephan Zabie

With two decommitments at the LB and OL spots over the past week, the Texas A&M staff may need to look to new faces to fill out the 2017 recruiting class. TexAgs recruiting analyst Jason Howell has composed a list of the most likely candidates, complete with highlights.

First off, big shout out to Jason who killed the Cam Buckley coverage. Great stuff. Secondly, another big shout out to the guy at the gas station outside Oklahoma City who basically broke the Creed Humphrey news. I still can't believe how that happened. It's a small world sometimes.Speaking of small world, I've been running into quite a few connected folks at these baseball tournaments recently. I'm in Atlanta through most of next week coaching in perhaps the most scouted youth event in any sport in America. I'll start with Elkins LB Kenneth Murray who has really been feeling the Ags lately. Remember, this is a kid that showed up at the Houston Opening Regionals in an all Texas warmup suit. Whether you want to believe the Ags are leading or not, they're certainly a big time player here. Murray has started forming a bit of a relationship with Tyrel Dodson and a Houston area source told me today that if he were deciding July 10th, Murray would be an Aggie. Now, will that momentum hold up for another month until Kenneth's announcement on August 10th? Who knows? But this maroon and white surge is certainly worth noting and monitoring. I spoke a little bit to a source about 2019 QB offer Grant Gunnell. The last time I spoke to Grant directly, he was really pumped about the Aggies and his A&M offer...to the point where I thought he may be the first member of the 2019 class to pull the trigger. My source indicated that he doubted that would be the case and that Gunnell would probably listen to all suitors. He did mention though that he believes A&M will be at or near the top throughout the process though. Lastly, I bumped into a somewhat well known Austin area HS coach here in Atlanta. We got to talking about some of the baseball and football prospects in that area, and I brought up Stephan Zabie. His response was, "A&M has a much better chance to get him now than they did a month or so ago." I asked him why, and he said, "Jim Turner is really good at what he does. Plus, A&M has such momentum right now." It remains to be seen where A&M will go at OL, if they go anymore places at all. I just thought it was noteworthy because we hadn't heard anything in awhile on Zabie. I still say the Ags are behind here though.

I The much anticipated event of the Aggie recruiting summer is this week. Jason and I will be updating the list of attendees throughout the week.
