Cade Fortin

Former A&M QB pledge Cade Fortin has committed to North Carolina tonight. Good kid from a top notch family that was committed to the Aggies for a long time. I'll be pulling for him down the road. https://twitter.com/cade410/status/938958855849021442

From the coaching carousel to NCAA sanctions at Ole Miss, it's been a wild couple of weeks for the SEC recruiting landscape. Jason Howell runs down all of the latest happenings in this week's edition of Around the SEC.

I know there's been a lot of different recruiting threads, but that's the nature of the beast right now. We are getting stuff coming in right and left. Here's the latest...Chase Lane tells me Coach Fisher is coming by to see the St Pius guys on Wednesday.We've heard top WR target Terrace Marshall has had a couple of conversations with the Aggies new head man came away feeling good about what's happening in College Station. I still feel like LSU's the play here, but the gap has certainly narrowed. Seems like Marshall and Jaylen Waddle are both much more realistic than they were a week ago.Spoke to a source with knowledge of how things went between Leon O'Neal and Coach Fisher tonight. Fisher made sure Leon knew he was wanted in Aggieland. I'm hearing Leon plans to be in College Station the weekend of Jan 13-15th. That's also the same weekend the early enrollees move in. In terms of QBs, there's stuff circulating about long time commit Cade Fortin looking around at other schools. Fortin wasn't recruited by Fisher at Florida St. There's also been some talk about highly rated Georgia QB commit Justin Fields, and he is a guy that took a liking to Jimbo while he was at Florida St. With Bulldog freshman QB Jake Fromm having an outstanding first campaign in Athens, there could be mutual interest between Fields, Fisher, and the Aggies. It'll be interesting to watch the QB situation unfold as Coach Fisher begins to work. 9:55 update Cade Fortin has decommittedWe've also heard that while he remains firmly committed to Michigan, the Aggies are likely to kick the tires on Mustapha Muhammad again as the search for a TE continues. Some more names that could fit into that role are Boling big man Vernon Jackson and a pair of JUCO guys in Dominick Wood-Anderson and Jace Sternberger from Northeast Oklahoma JC. Edited to add Luke Ford to the TE list. See Jason's note.
