Nate Floyd

- The most immediate impact to the 2020 class in terms of announcements looks like it's going to come from Shadow Creek S Xavion Alford. After speaking to a few sources today, I expect a decision to come out in the next 7-10 days with Friday as probably the earliest day news could break. Texas is doing what they can to make a furious push as it looks like they're on the verge of landing Alford's Fast Houston teammate Josh Eaton. A&M has been in touch with Xavion and his inner circle as recently as this morning. I continue to give the Aggies the edge here, but there's still recruiting being done by A&M and Texas. - I continue to hear good things on the Aggies' standing with 2021 Texarkana Pleasant Grove DR Landon Jackson. I had a source in Pleasant Grove yesterday tell me that, as you could probably guess, A&M landing Jackson would absolutely help them with teammate Marcus Burris. Landon is one of the 2021 guys we are watching for a decision this fall. - Got a pair of positive reports today on the Aggies' continued pursuit of CB Dontae Manning out of Kansas City (MO). He's said on record that he'd like to wait to make an announcement until after the season. We'll see if that timetable holds true because there are folks with knowledge of the situation that think a decision comes before that. - I asked a central Texas source about A&M's standing with Manor DE Princely Umanmielen. They told me the Aggies "are trending the right direction. Much more encouraging than it was before the summer."- I mentioned Nate Floyd's name the other day as a potential target at corner, but I heard again today that he's going to be a kid that'll be drawing eyes early on in the season from some of the heavy hitters in the region. I went out to watch Consol's opening practice, and Floyd looked fantastic. Early in his HS career he devoted a lot of time to basketball, but he's begun to focus on filling out his frame and becoming the best corner he can. Missouri is the odds on favorite right now, and the Tigers have done a great job of coming into Texas and taking players that can really play - see Kam Scott from Manvel and Chad Bailey from Ridge Point. I'm not saying A&M will move on an offer for Floyd, but I do think he'll have some people watching this fall.
