Calvin Tyler

We'll continue to have full articles on those with spoke to with offers throughout the rest of the week, but I wanted to do an update on the guys we spoke with that have visited and still sit squarely on the A&M radar. Houston Bellaire DT Jayden Peevy - Peevy is an impressive physical specimen. He's every bit of 6-6 and 290 pounds, and he's only played football for a year (basketball). He committed to Baylor on Monday, but the Ags are far from being out of the race. He told me he continues to hear from A&M and the Aggies will continue to evaluate him this spring and summer. When I asked what would happen if the Aggies do offer, he told me, "They would be my top school." Look for Peevy to get back to campus in the next couple weeks. Plano West LB Mohamed Sanogo - Brice wrote about the 6-2.5, 235 pound backer in his report so I'll just leave you with some quotes. Mohamed told me, "A&M and Texas are the two schools that really stand out to me even though they haven't offered. Friday Night Lights was cool. It impressed me more than I thought it would, especially from a facilities standpoint...they were the best I've seen." Sanogo said the A&M staff will be in Plano to see him workout twice this spring, with the second trip being made by John Chavis to see him workout. He told me Chavis is "a cool guy. I like how he's straight forward. I talked to Claude (George) and Otaro (Alaka) a lot about Chief. They love him." Beaumont Ozen RB Calvin Tyler - Tyler checked in a little smaller than expected, but the Golden Triangle back can really move. Brice saw him in 1-v-1's and came away with his speed and elusiveness. He recently released a new highlight tape on YouTube for those of you interested in his game. Calvin told me he continues to stay in touch with Clarence McKinney. He says their relationship is solid and that McKinney talks to him about a lot of stuff outside of football. He's continued to hear the Aggies only plan on signing one running back though. Tyler is hearing a lot from Michigan St, Oklahoma St, and Cal. He's doing his best to get back to A&M for the Spring Game this weekend. College Station CB Timarcus Davis - "I don't know how this just happened. I had no idea I was even close." That was Davis' line to me after finishing the camp with the highest SPARQ score. Of course, it helps when you jump 45+ inches (highest so far in the country) in the vertical. Timarcus is a shade under 6 foot and still a bit skinny, but he can play football. He competes bigger than his size because of his elite athleticism. He'll continue to be evaluated by the A&M staff this spring and summer, but his offer list is well into double digits already. I expect that to grow as camp reports start coming out. College Station QB Ty Brock - Ty attended Friday Night Lights and continues to build on his relationship with Noel and Taylor Mazzone. Coming off the broken leg that took away his junior season, Ty has impressed at every camp he's been to. On Sunday, he was one of the final 5 QB's selected to perform in the "best of" drills. I asked former Aggie QB Jerrod Johnson (who works as a QB coach for these camps) about Ty, and he said, "I love him. He's going to be really good. You can just tell he's missing the game reps. The ball came out of his hand today as good as anybody." It's still unclear whether the Ags will be taking another QB, but I'd bet Ty will be a heavy eval down the road. 2018 Crosby RB Craig Williams - They call him "Sqwirl" (yes, spelled like that) for a reason. He can really, really run. Williams ran a 4.38 on Sunday. His biggest issue is going to be his size. He's just a small framed, short kid. He'll grow some I'm sure, and that elite speed will undoubtedly keep him on the radar for an offer, but he doesn't fit the mold of your typical SEC back. Williams has visited campus a couple times and talks with Clarence McKinney. He told me he feels like A&M "could definitely be a place for me. I can see myself there." With teammate and friend Mannie Netherly already committed, it'll be interesting to see where the Aggies go with the young scat back. 2018 Allen RB Brock Sturges - Sturges' move from Seven Lakes to Allen is just starting to make the rounds and so is his game. He scored in the top 10 of the SPARQ ratings in Houston and measured in at an impressive 5-10, 192 pounds. He's sturdy and has an excellent feel for the game. He impressed catching balls out of the backfield. His biggest issue right now seems to be breakaway speed. His 10-20 splits are solid, but he doesn't have the speed to pull away from defenders yet. He's also coming off some ligament issues in his ankle that hampered him in his sophomore season. He was chosen as a RB finalist on Sunday. Word is that Arkansas has begun sniffing around, but Sturges remains on the Aggies big board as well. 2018 CyCreek WR Miles Battle - Outside of Brennan Eagles (who said he hasn't heard much yet from A&M), I thought Battle was the best looking 2018 receiving prospect in Houston Sunday. He's got long arms and legs but is a smooth route runner. He sort of reminds me of Josh Reynolds. Battle was at FNL and said, "I loved the atmosphere and the way the receivers were working...and the locker room, man it was nice." He also mentioned to me how he liked A&M's academic set up and counselor system. He's been talking with Jeff Banks who he called "a real cool guy." Perhaps the biggest revelation was the guy that brought him to A&M originally, teammate and 2017 stud OL Grayson Reed.

One of the many attendees at Texas A&M's most recent junior day, 2017 Beaumont Ozen running back Calvin Tyler is beginning to turn heads in the Golden Triangle. Though he left without an offer, it didn't mute his appreciation for what the Aggies showed him.

It looks like the Aggies are really doing their due diligence at the running back spot now. I've been told that George Ranch RB Alex Fontenot has been in touch with the Aggies and is under heavy consideration for an offer. It's unclear still whether Fontenot will make the trip to Junior Day, but it is worth noting that Clarence McKinney is definitely interested in giving him a heavy eval. Fontenot backed up TCU signee and Houston TD Club Offensive POY Darius Anderson last year but still managed to rush for over 1400 yards. Add Fontenot's name to this group of 2017 RBs that the Ags are highly interested in:JK Dobbins Toneil Carter Anthony McFarland Jr Eno Benjamin Calvin Tyler Kennedy Brooks
