Not a huge deal as the Ags will get him to campus soon, but just wanted to update since he told me yesterday he had planned on making the trip. (Brauninger)**************I was told Anthony Hines will not be at the game because it's Plano East's homecoming this weekend. The dance is Saturday evening. (Howell)
Notes from another camp - Dayo Odeyingbo included
Because I just couldn't get enough I'm out here in DeSoto at the UTSA/LSU camp.Here's a few things Dayo Odeyingbo (Die-O O-Dang-bo) is out here looking on. He just received an A&M offer last week after a strong camp performance at the Lancaster camp. Then he went to the BBQ. The Aggies really made an impression over the weekend. He does not have a list of favorites but he did say the Aggies were "up there" when asked where the Aggies stood. He plans to visit Houston soon and he will be at the Texas satellite camp on Friday. He does not plan to trim his list before making an announcement and he is thinking about making a preseason decision.2018 LB Alston Orji and his brother 2019 S Anfernee Orji is also out here. They just returned from Ohio State and are out here putting in work. They are heading to Stanford On Wednesday.The eye opener of the day for me was a pair of 2020 DLs from Shreveport Calvary Baptist. DE Clifton Mosley (6-3, 240) and DT Vincent Hall (6-4, 295) are definitely guys to watch. Jireh Prep LB Derrick Mayweather is one stout looking guy. He played at Chisholm Trail last year.2019 Arlington Bowie QB Malcolm Mays is a long 6-3.5, 175. 2018 Plano Prestonwood QB MJ Rivers caught the eye of coaches.2018 ILB Desmond Williams (5-11.5, 240) out of Rockwall-Heath is also attracting some attention. He has a strong, stocky build and has moved well through drills
