Donovan Ford

It was a full day for me in South Dallas, after my morning at Lancaster and SOC, I made the trip over to Duncanville and DeSoto.Some of you may be wondering why I stopped in at both schools since there are not any current Texas A&M targets, well these schools have quite a bit of talent in the younger classes. And no, while I was in DeSoto I did not get the lowdown on what is going on. Today, was a pretty normal practice. The coaches coached, and the players played.With that out of the way, I'll go ahead and say that I've been sleeping on the Green twins. Michigan grabbed a couple of good ones in Gemon Green and German Green. These guys have some great length and overall athleticism and have already had a big offseason on the camp circuit. Arkansas DB commit Byron Hanspard did not work out today. He seems solidly committed to the Razorbacks. Recent Colorado commit Josh Jynes leads a young, but talented, offensive line group. 2019 Evan Henry (6-3, 305) has a 6-9 wingspan and has a nice build. Look for him to start seeing the interest pick up this spring and summer as college coaches get a chance to see him work. 2020 OT Donovan Ford (6-3, 275) will also turn some heads this spring. He's on track to be one of the top OLs in his class right now.Wide receiver has a few names to know. The biggest potential Texas A&M target is 2019 La'Vontae Shenault. He's the little brother of Colorado signee Laviska Shenault and he already holds scholarship offers from TCU and Colorado. He has a big body like his brother. He's 6-1, 180 right now, is not afraid to get physical, has good feet. Another 2019 is Bryon Hanspard. He's a smallish guy right now at 5-9, 140, but he has great bloodlines and I was told he is the hardest working kid in the program. He's not there yet, but keep an eye on him as a slot possibility in that 2019 class. 2020 WRs Paul Pickens (6-0, 165) and Lawrence Arnold (6-3, 175) also have people talking.On the defensive front 2019 DTs Viramontes Pippens (6-0, 294) and Devere Levelston (6-4, 250) are already drawing attention. Pippens is a guy I liked when I saw DeSoto this fall. He's not the tallest, but he has some power in the middle. Levelston is a guy I'm getting to know about but the coaches like him and that length and frame is always nice to see. *************Out in Duncanville I really wanted to get a good look at that 2020 class. It was my first time seeing Ja'Quinden Jackson in person and he definitely looks the part. The guys were not working out but he is definitely as advertised from an eyeball stand point. He already has offers from Oklahoma State and Texas Tech and is ranked No. 3 in the TexAgs 2020 rankings. He's a guy to watch at both quarterback and wide receiver. Also in Duncanville's 2020 class is S Chris Thompson. He's another potential national level recruit for the Panthers. 2019 Jordan Phillips is a big OG prospect at 6-4, 320, and 2019 Tre'Shone Devones brings some nice size at corner at (6-0, 160)The 2018 group has some prospects but I don't see the Aggies getting involved right now. DE Marcus Mosley was the DL MVP at the Opening regional in Dallas and holds offers from McNeese St, UCA, Arkansas State, Bowling Green, and ULL. DT Terrance Newman has also picked up offers from UNT and McNeese and LB Keyshawn Johnson also holds several.
