Texas A&M Mini-Camp Notebook
Bobby Brown and the Arlington Lamar CrewD-lineman Bobby Brown and several of his teammates made their way to Texas A&M on Saturday. It was the second time Bobby made the trip to College Station this summer. They arrived Friday night, spent the day at Texas A&M and camped. Then after the camp they all stopped by TexAgs and Bobby even showed off his Terry Price impersonation.https://twitter.com/ERKELL1345/status/888827592735940609Among Brown's teammates was 2019 CB Deshawn Gaddie who we thought might have a strong showing at camp. He has had a big spring and summer and at the camp he was noted as the top DB by one source checking out the action.The group included WR Dayton Dubs, WR Matthew Shaw, WR Ja'Noah Balog, QB Kaden Hadawi, LB Javonte Kemp, WR Jaylen Jones, CB Califah Garr, and CB Jordan Polk The trip was one of three for the weekend. They camped at Texas on Friday, and closed the trip with a stop by Baylor on Saturday night. The group plans to attend Oklahoma's BBQ on July 29.Surprise VisitorRichland LB DaShaun White decided to stop by College Station on Saturday. It was his third trip to College Station this summer and the first in July. He visited UCLA last weekend and was at Texas on Friday. He plans to close the month with a trip to Oklahoma on July 29. His plan is still to commit by the end of the month.White's visit to Texas stirred plenty of conversation, but Texas did not offer and is not under consideration. The Aggies along with Oklahoma State are thought to lead the pack right now.Aggies in the running for Kameron BrownColleyville Heritage 2019 WR and UCLA commit Kameron Brown has made no secret about his love for Texas A&M. After camp he said the Aggies were his No. 2 school and one of the few schools he was still communicating with. He is a fan of the way the Texas A&M staff coaches and says he loves the vibe at A&M.Brown is currently ranked the No. 7 prospect in the TexAgs 2019 Texas Top 50, and is the second ranked receiver. He has taken several trips to Texas A&M over the last year and the Aggies continue to recruit him. 2020 offer goes outAfter the camp Oakdale (CT) St. Thomas More 2020 DT Tre Williams tweeted that he had received an offer from the Aggies. The 6-3, 275-pound defender also reports offers from Buffalo, Pitt, Syracuse, Rutgers, Connecticut, and Florida Atlantic. https://twitter.com/TreWilliams56/status/888911845372854272A couple of LB prospectsGoing into the camp we talked a lot about Frisco Lone Star LB Nicholas Bolton and reports are he turned some heads after measuring in at 6-foot and 240-pounds. Bolton said it was his best camp performance of the summer and he enjoyed his time with coach Chavis and talking with area recruiter Jeff Banks.Bolton plans to announce his commitment on Monday and it looks like the Washington Huskies lead the way right now. I've heard an offer from the Aggies is something that would make him take another look at his options.Another guys who has emerged is Del Valle LB Cameron Wilkins. He measured in at 6-foot-1, 230. He just committed to Missouri this week but he has been closely watching the Aggies.
I went out to Arlington Lamar today
I went out to Arlington Lamar today to watch a little voluntary workout group that standout target Bobby Brown and his teammates have put together. On July 1, these guys made a commitment to each other not to miss a workout for 21 straight days. They have been 100-percent so far and they have even decided they are going to continue the commitment until football practice starts in August. Mind you, these workouts are in addition to whatever workout they are doing with their coaches and outside trainers.In addition to Bobby, the group also includes Deshawn Gaddie, Matthew Shaw, Dayton Dubs, Jordan Polk (2019 CB), Ja'Noah Balong (2018 WR), Javonte Kemp (2018 LB), Kaden Hadawi (2018 QB), Daniel Huggins (2018 S), and Califah Garr (2018 CB)https://twitter.com/Jason_Howell/status/887467198465409025These guys are also attending camps together. All of them will attend the Texas camp on July 21 and then the Texas A&M camp on July 22. They will all also attend Oklahoma's BBQ on July 29. Here's a few clips. Brown was slowed by a hamstring today, but as you can see by his last 110 he was moving pretty wellhttps://twitter.com/Jason_Howell/status/887491903662555141He currently checks in at 266 pounds and runs a 4.65 forty. He's a specimen and he is currently TexAgs.com's No. 1 ranked prospect in DFW. https://twitter.com/Jason_Howell/status/887451644820115457DeShawn Gaddie is a guy I've been very impressed with this spring and summer, and in my opinion he's a guy to watch at camp on Saturday. He has some nice length, he's physical, and he is smart in the secondary. I would not be surprised if he put himself in the running for an offer. https://twitter.com/Jason_Howell/status/887456249650057216https://twitter.com/Jason_Howell/status/887469899437809664Regardless of recruiting and all that, I'm predicting big things for the Lamar Vikings. It is always exciting to see leaders set the tone and raise the bar, and these guys are definitely doing that.
