OTF Premium Marcus Fakatou note | Wednesday 5:40 p.m.

[Hank South]

A source close to the Ohio State commit Marcus Fakatou tells OTF that the five-star defensive lineman intends on visiting Texas for the Ohio State game on Sept. 12. 

This will mark Fakatou's second game visit at DKR after taking in Texas-Texas A&M last November. He returned in April and then again for an official visit in June. 

Recruit through the whistle...

Interesting

apparently on HIS DIME?  right?

There was a video circulating recently where Fakatou was basically saying if he didn’t commit to Ohio state it would have been Georgia

Yes he's already taken his OV. Fakatou probably has no shortage of dimes though. Cali HS kids can earn NIL.

Everybody finishes second that doesn't finish first when you think about it. 

But if Texas wasn't second they were third, so not a huge drop off. He even admitted Texas wasn't in his top eight before the April visit, so they've made a big jump for him regardless over the last 4-5 months.

Ok…… Cool……… Hookem……….

“Coach (Will) Muschamp and coach (LaAllan) Clark have kept contact with me since I committed. They haven’t broken it. Even though I’m committed, that shows a lot of love from their side so it’s only right I go show them love, too."

We are playing the team he is committed too. 
That said, always like getting guys to Austin and the campus!

Gerry said earlier this should be viewed as a visit to watch Ohio State at this point.  Never say never...

[LonghornFan4Ever]

Hopefully he can bring DJ Jacobs with him too…

Texas cannot flip him if he does not visit Texas again.  There is a sequence to recruiting.
