Aggies expecting another monster group of big-name visitors
Now that the first-ever College Station 'Mega-Camp' is complete, Kevin Sumlin and the Aggies can shift their focus to this year's highly-anticipated 'YESSIR!' BBQ. We're still nearly two weeks out but the current visit list is as impressive as any I've seen the Aggies put together since joining the SEC and, with nearly a fortnight between now and then, more names are expected to be added to the list.Here's where the Ags are at as of today...A&M CommitsKaty Taylor DE Max Wright Dickinson WR Montel Parker Elkins OL Luke Matthews Cy-Ranch OL Colten Blanton Aldine Davis DT Dominic Livingston Cy-Springs S Leon O'Neal Yoakum DB Jordan Moore Other VisitorsYoakum WR Joshua Moore Arlington Lamar DE Bobby Brown Manvel WR Jalen Preston Richland Hills LB DaShaun White Manvel DB Trent Gordon Ontario (CA) Colony TE Michael Ezeike Rockdale CB/ATH Jaquayln CrawfordCy-Falls CB Starrland Baldwin (maybe)Episcopal WR Jaylen Waddle Ridge Point TE Mustapha Muhammad Boling ATH Vernon Jackson Houston Heights CB Jalen Green Houston Lamar CB D'Shawn Jamison Houston Lamar WR Al'vonte Woodard Oak Ridge DE Joseph Ossai Shreveport (LA) Parkway WR Terrace Marshall FB Marshall OL Barton Clement Indianapolis (IN) Cathedral OL Emil Ekiyor Again, expect to see more four- and perhaps even five-star names and priority Aggie targets added to the list between now and the June 18 event. Between recent verbals, anticipated pledges and both the quality and quantity of talented prospects on campus so far in June, it's clear that Texas A&M has regained some much-needed momentum on the recruiting front. Stay tuned...there's more to come.
Some defensive line recruiting notes
Terry Price rounded out his spring evals this week with a look at Arlington Lamar big man Bobby Brown (#14 overall in Texas). The Aggies, and many others, are eyeing the 6-4, 280 pounder as a dynamic inside presence. His speed and lateral quickness make him a nice inside target in a four man front, but that athleticism also means he could play end in a 3-4. Texas A&M remains a real player with Alabama, Oklahoma, and Texas also being possibilities.In terms of top targets along the defensive front, after gathering intel over the spring, I think it lines up like this...DE1. Max Wright 2. Joseph Ossai 3. Vernon Jackson 4. Ochaun Mathis (no offer yet but being evaluated)DT1. Keondre Coburn 2. Bobby Brown 3. Calvin Avery 4. Tayland Humphrey Speaking of Wright, I'm told A&M has no intention of playing of playing him inside. Max is currently 265 pounds and impressed college coaches from multiple schools with his speed and athleticism this spring. He's underrated in that department. Lastly, here are some 2019 DE names we continue hear buzz about in terms of potential offers: Katy Taylor's Braedon Mowry, Ft Bend Ridge Point's Nelson Ceasar, and Hunstville's T'Vondre Sweat. Mowry and Ceasar are top 50 players in the state, and it won't be long before Sweat finds his way there as well. I've also heard some interesting things about A&M Consolidated DT Josh Ellison. I haven't seen a more explosive defensive tackle in the 2019 class, and college coaches are starting to figure that out.
