Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted March 26 Moderators Share Posted March 26 Four-star EDGE locks in Texas official visit Four-star EDGE Smith Orogbo (Alief, Texas/Hastings) told OnTexasFootball Tuesday morning that he has locked in an official visit to Texas. Orogbo, 6-5 and 218, will officially visit the Longhorns June 14-16. That is the same weekend that EDGE commitment Lance Jackson (Texarkana, Texas/Pleasant Grove) and target Hayden Lowe (Westlake Village, Calif./Oaks Christian) will make official visits to Texas. The official visit will be the second time the Houston area explosive EDGE rush prospect will be on campus. He's also scheduled to make an unofficial visit April 6. Orogbo will also make an official visit to SMU in Mid-May with trips to USC, Oregon and Oklahoma State also on the table. Texas offered Orogbo January 22 when area recruiter Jeff Banks made a stop at Hastings High. Since that time, the long-armed and twitchy prospect has been in contact with Steve Sarkisian, Pete Kwiatkowski and Jeff Banks.

Texas loves Hayden Lowe ... Damien Shanklin is a big ND lean headed into April. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas loves Hayden Lowe ... Damien Shanklin is a big ND lean headed into April. Good question. With a great LB class in the making it might be two, but again this guy has SOOOO much upside. I say three if you can get them. If Lance continues to add weight he might slide to a 3 tech and Smith has the ideal frame to be a GREAT DE with development. Speed KILLS!

TheContractor12 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Great Buck with a couple of years of development. Dude comes fast off the edge. Very athletic. Great pair with LJ on the other end. Then get one of the 2 OOS guys and thats a great edge class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll beat this drum all day. Orogbo will be a 5*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Moore Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 3 hours ago, Gerry Hamilton said: I think so ... can't figure out why it took colleges and our industry so long to figure this one out I watched his Jr. highlight after you mentioned him a while back and he jumped off the screen. However, I went back and watched again last night and accidentally watched his sophomore film for a couple minutes by accident. Different player. He improved significantly from Soph to Jr. season. If he makes a similar jump this season he'll be near the top of a lot of boards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
