Stockpiling the state's best defensive line talent has become a tradition at Texas A&M since Kevin Sumlin's arrival, but trends in the 2017 class have left the question of who the Aggies will add this time around wide open. Who's on the short list, and who reciprocates?
TexAgs Spring Tour Finale: a recap
Well, it was hectic, and there was a ton of traffic...but it was a lot of fun. Between Jason and myself, we've seen and heard a bunch of stuff over the course of the past 6 weeks or so. Driving home from my last trip today, I got curious as to how much we had really done. So let's break it down...Schools visited (with prospects listed)Here's what Jason Howell has done...Plano East - Anthony Hines - Deiontae Watts Birdville- Jared Hocker Lancaster- Omar Manning - Jayce Medlock Denton Ryan- Spencer Sanders - Earnest Brown Bishop Dunne - Calvin Avery - Chevin Calloway - Brian Williams - Damion Daniels Lewisville- Tyrell Shavers South Grand Prairie- Jeffrey Okudah - Atanza 'AT' Vongor Shawnee (OK)- Creed Humphrey Meeker (OK)- Adrian Wolford Plano Prestonwood- Verone McKinley III Southlake Carroll- Carson Green Mansfield - Paulson Adebo - Kennedy Brooks Big time stuff from DFW. Jason hit the ground running and was able to talk to some of the top prospects not only in Texas but in America. His coverage of DFW and beyond was awesome. And here's where I've been and who I've talked to...A&M Consolidated- Tyon Merchant - Kolby Peel College Station- Ty Brock - Timarcus Davis - Josh Donovan - Quandree White - Marquise Conchola Bryan- Ylijaah Hall Brenham - Marqez Bimage Katy- Corey Bethley - Parker Eichenberger - Hayden Howerton - Trace Oldner - Connor Galvin - Breydon Boyd - Deondrick Glass Katy Taylor - Max Wright - Camron Horry Seven Lakes- Brock Sturges CyCreek- Grayson Reed - Miles Battle Langham Creek- Toneil Carter - Quartney Davis Ft Bend Elkins- Kenneth Murray - Luke Matthews Ridge Point- Mustapha Muhammad - Chad Bailey Caldwell- Devin Morris Bremond- Roshauud Paul Magnolia West- Myles Jones Pearland- Connor Blumrick - Debione Renfro Manvel- Derrick Tucker That's 28 schools visited. There's also been around 40 total video interviews done and another 20 or so kids that we've mentioned/talked with that aren't on the above list. I tried to calculate the mileage, but I ran out of fingers. We've gotten to meet some great coaches and wonderful kids. I'm thankful for the safe travels both Jason and I have had. I hope we've given y'all a quality product with timely and pertinent info that is the standard of this site. Thanks for all the thumbs ups and atta boys along the way. Next up, camp season. Be on the lookout as Jason, Hop, Looch, and myself head back on the road to cover what A&M has got going on this summer.
