Kenny Nelson

Last week I posted that Houston St. Pius X QB Grant Gunnell was planning to visit Texas A&M on July 29. The visit did not take place because coach Mazzone would not be able to spend much time with him due to some other responsibilities. The visit will be rescheduled and he plans to attend a practice next week.I was able to connect with some contacts in Tennessee about the Tennessee prospects in town for the Aggies' final camp of the summer. 2018 DT D'Andre Litaker earned a scholarship offer and he had some great things to say in the update we posted. The Aggies have some stiff competition for Litaker, but he does have some friendly faces with guys like Ikenna Okeke. Offensive tackle Obinna Eze also liked what he saw on his visit and enjoyed meeting coach Turner. He's definitely a guy to watch and if he decided he wanted to go to A&M it sounds like he's a guy they would find a way to add.2017 LB Nick Okeke - who is Ikenna's little brother 2017 TE Joseph Sewell, and 2018 WR/S Jarek Campbell were also with the group. Campbell is the most likely to catch the Aggies attention next. He already holds offers from Tennessee, Kentucky, and Memphis.On the receiver front, with CeeDee Lamb recommitting to Oklahoma, the Aggies biggest uncommitted target is currently Omar Manning. Texas continues to make a big push and Texas A&M, TCU, and Oklahoma are also right there. Right now, there's a lot of stuff out there about who leads. The Aggies have been playing catch-up but are still among his top group and still in the race. Today I was told he has trimmed his list a little and "the Aggies are in the hunt." Getting him on campus again is a majorIf things don't go well on the Omar Manning front, the Aggies will likely have room for a bigger receiver. A guy to watch who fits that mold is Kenny Nelson (6-2, 215). He's been targeted as an h-back type but he's showing more and more he has the tools to stay outside. He was the WR MVP at the Opening Regional in Dallas and he grew up an Aggie fan. He just moved from Frisco Centennial to Trinity Christian Academy in Addison, and senior tape will go a long way to making him a target but he's been very impressive this spring and summer. The last time I connected with Tulsa Union WR CJ Moore, in early July, he said he had not talked to A&M much. Since then Coach Moorehead was able to connect with him and there seems to be some progress there. How much progress? That still remains to be seen, but it sounds like the talk went well. He's a guy A&M targeted early and he fits that long, lean WR type the Aggies have been after in the 2018 group see Terrace Marshall and Joshua Moore. Speaking of Terrace Marshall, the reviews from his trip to College Station on BBQ weekend were very positive. I'm trying to get more on this and will keep you posted, but it sounds like he very much enjoyed his time in College Station.A guy I'm hearing the Aggies should feel very good about is Silsbee 2018 WR Kalon Barnes. Word I've heard from those close to him is this will come down to A&M and Texas. Since receiving his A&M offer Missouri and Georgia have both offered. He currently does not have an offer from Texas.
