Notes, pics, and video from Consol, College Station
Hit both CSISD high schools today to check out the plethora of local talent before the season kicks off. Here's a brief report on the Consol Tigers and CSHS Cougars.A&M Consolidated2017 CB Tyon Merchant - Oklahoma State - A&M nearly made a move on Merchant earlier this year, but the Ags have filled their secondary. Merchant remains solid in his pledge to the Cowboys. https://twitter.com/r_brauninger/status/7629897782959226882018 ATH Kolby Peel - one of the more underrated guys in the 2018 class, in my opinion. Kid is a football player. Every time you look up, it seems like he's either got the football or is tackling the football. A&M has been in to see him more than once. His sophomore tape is solid.https://twitter.com/r_brauninger/status/7629889356266987522019 DT Josh Ellison - big boy that flashed a quick first step. His body has already changed some since I saw him in the spring. It's going to be interesting to see him continue to grow.https://twitter.com/r_brauninger/status/7629839088455598082019 OL Reid Francis - great frame for such a young kid. He's already at 6-4, 270 with good length. He'll have all the physical attributes you want in an OL. His dad played for A&M as well. https://twitter.com/r_brauninger/status/762979596119646210https://twitter.com/r_brauninger/status/762985379574059008College Station High2017 QB Ty Brock - Ty just gets better every time I see him. Disciplined in his footwork, leader on the field, great feel for trajectory and velo...just an all around solid QB. Hearing Tennessee and another SEC school are really looking hard here. https://twitter.com/r_brauninger/status/763138780517707780https://twitter.com/r_brauninger/status/7631464571467284482017 OL Josh Donovan - Josh is making the move to tackle from center this year. He's a mountain of a kid. He committed to North Texas over the summer. https://twitter.com/r_brauninger/status/7631376339082485812018 ATH Quandree White - We all know how good White is in the slot (perhaps the best in 2018 in Texas) and returning kicks, but for team purposes, Quandree looks like he'll log significant time at safety this season. Still, I'd be willing to bet the Cougars find a way to get their big time playmaker the football. https://twitter.com/r_brauninger/status/7631533802607534092019 ATH Brandon Joseph - this kid looks like a future stud. Long, rangy athlete that's pretty fluid. Still a tad skinny but has the frame to hold the weight. CSHS coaches think a lot of this kid.https://twitter.com/r_brauninger/status/7631561284987863042017 CB Timarcus Davis and 2018 DL Marquise Conchola are both sidelined to different extents for knee and shoulder knocks, respectively. Davis pledged to UH over the summer. https://twitter.com/r_brauninger/status/763152668437073920https://twitter.com/r_brauninger/status/763157221609922560
