Jasper High TE Kiotti Armstrong talks Texas (Sunday 11:03am CST)

[Gerry Hamilton]

Jasper (Texas) High tight end Kiotti Armstrong is among the top offensive targets for Texas in the 2025 cycle. 

Armstrong, 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds, attended Texas Junior Day January 20. He also received a school visit from head coach Steve Sarkisian and tight ends coach Jeff Banks in January. 

“Coach Sark told me to go out there and handle my business,” Armstrong said today. “And keep developing.”

Former Jasper High teammate and good friend Tyanthony Smith has had a strong message for Armstrong since getting settled in at Texas. 

“He likes it a lot,” Armstrong said. “He told me Texas is where he needs to be.”

Texas A&M Junior Day visit

Armstrong attended Junior Day at Texas A&M January 13. Getting to spend time on campus with the new staff was key. 

“I liked it a lot,” he said. “Being able to be around the new staff. How they treat me and that they will try to develop me as a person and not just a football player.”

Visit plans in March

Armstrong is expected to make an unofficial visit to Texas March 22 prior to a 7v7 tournament in Round Rock the 23rd and 24th. 

A visit to Texas A&M in March is also a possibility. 

Armstrong currently has 28 offers. That includes SEC programs Texas, Texas A&M, Alabama, LSU, Oklahoma, Auburn, Florida, Ole Miss, Arkansas and Mississippi State.

Here is the main thing I would say about Armstrong's recruitment right now ... Texas is in a very good spot. If I had to make a prediction on February 4, it would be Texas.

We’re so spoiled to read Gerry recruiting nuggets for free. @Bobby Burton whatever you end up charging for the premium of this site, I’ll pay for it.

Thanks, Gerry!

That’s a large man. Looks like he has a lot to learn as a route runner/receiver, but that’s great to see, means more upside. 

I love the play about the 2:00 mark of the Hudl, he blocks a dude about 30 yards downfield, then just crumples him to the turf at the end. I chortled.

He’s our future JT Sanders.

For sure. He's still a very young player in terms of the TE position. That upside, both physically and as a TE, has top programs very excited. He's a scratching the surface type of 4-star prospect for me.

I'm at a 7v7 for a little while this morning ... this is my fourth time seeing him in person. I would say he will be 6-5.5, 265'ish when all is said and done. 10.5 inch hands, 80+ inch wingspan

Looks a lot like Sanders after the ball is snapped. 

[Pocono longhorn]

He looks like he could be a good blocker as well.

[Gerry Hamilton]

This is what college coaches want him to develop into ...

Unreal

Matchup nightmare fuel for opposing defenses.

Sark likes guys that open up certain packages (Agbo, KRob, Savion Red). Having guys that are multiple that won't tip the play because of personnel changes seems like the next evolution.

I mean, Sark is what, 6’1”? I know photographs can lie due to forced perspective, angles, positioning (you get it) but there’s no way around the fact this kid is a giant. 

Banks must be, “please please please!”

TE room under Sark so much different than Herman

Should definitely be a plus blocker IMO.
