@Gerry Hamilton has Texas offered Matthew’s? He looks awesome on tape.

He's a tremendous prospect. Texas has not been involved - to this point.

 I would say since theres great tackle prospects in the state Texas has offered and they're probably way cheaper than what hes asking for from a NIL perspective.

That one is expected to be Miami or Ohio State. Miami likely to go very, very big

Ik that I'm just saying matthews is most likely getting a huge check from the programs that are in it for him. Why go after one player for x amount when you can go after other great prospects for a little less.

Miami, Texas A&M, and Georgia as “standing out” but Mark Matthews said his current top-three schools could “fluctuate 100%”

Floods issue seems to be finding people movers at guard. He knows how to find and develop offensive tackles. Find any road graders that are of this dudes status and give them a godfather type of NIL offer.

Guard is always a tough position to find.  I wonder if they are just gonna go with tackles, have them play guard until they get a chance to kick out to their natural position. Would create a lot of versatility on the line

I think the issue there is going to be twofold:

 

1.) tackles don’t make very good centers;

2.) tackles are more expensive than guards, so your NIL budget is going to take a hit every year to get high-dollar players who may not convert well.

Based on 247Sport, Texas offer 14 OTs and only 4 IOLs (2027).
