Around Texas: A Round-up of Recruiting News in the Lone-star State
We're just over two months away from the beginning of the early signing period and recruits are narrowing down their decision processes. Jason Howell provides an update on the current state of top recruitments in Texas.
Sunday recruiting notes
First off, Converse Judson DL DeMarvin Leal did tell the A&M staff he was going to visit Texas this weekend...perhaps as early as Wednesday night. Like I said a few days ago, I also still expect to see Leal visit Alabama and Clemson. I was given no indication that those plans had been put on hold. Texas also continues to push Aggie commit Demani Richardson, but they have yet to break through in terms of a visit. I'm told Texas DB coach Craig Naivar has been working this one very hard to try and create doubt. Dayton OLB RJ Orebo is also being pushed by a couple of Big 12 schools to take an official visit, but he has closed the door on all invitations.The Aggies hunt for in state linebackers will continue rather locally this week as I've been told A&M staffers will be in Franklin to see S/OLB Jared Pedraza. The Aggies will also be out of state to see Arizona DE Ty Robinson and 2020 DB Kelee Ringo who will likely grab an offer, and they'll be in New Orleans to hit a slew of schools as well as check in on University Lab ATH Christian Harris. I was told today that Harris and his family continue to be very responsive to A&M. I'm also hearing the Ags will host a key visitor next weekend, but I want to get confirmation on it before it's reported.
