LSU DL commit Walter Mathis Jr. visit update

OnTexasFootball spoke with a person close to the Walter Mathis Jr. (Savannah, Ga./Calvary Day). Mathis, 6-1.5 and 288 pounds, and family remain scheduled to make an unofficial visit this weekend for the Mississippi State game. 

This will be the first visit to Texas for the Peach State prospect. 

Mathis committed to LSU September 6, 2024. 

OnTexasFootball rates Mathis as a 4-star++ prospect.

OnTexasFootball also spoke with Richmond (Texas) Randle 4-star DL and Texas A&M verbal Chace Sims just now. He and his family remain scheduled to make an official visit to Texas this weekend. 

He attended the Texas A&M-Bowling Green game Saturday. The Aggies staff attempted to get Sims to cancel the visit plans to Texas, but that is not expected to happen. 

OTF remains the same on Sims: If the convos go well with Kenny Baker and Steve Sarkisian this weekend, it's a 75-80% chance he flips to the Horns.

Gerry, on Sims - “if the conversations go well” meaning if Sims is made to feel like he is a priority?  Sounds like he wants to be a horn so if the staff wants that too, it’s all but over?  Fair read?

No, Texas wants him. This is a visit for Texas to make the flip. If Sims convos on Texas, DL development, how Sark and Baker see him and other stuff are positive, it's going to happen. He didn't make a June OV, like he did to others, so in person convos are key.

Gonna start having to turn away DTs at this rate.  Would love to get Mathis and Sims. Seems like Sims and Simpson would be easier to flip but we have to shoot our shot on Mathis and Wynn. 

Mathis, Mbatchou, Wynn and Sims - taking shots. 

Jahkeem Stewart could get on campus - we shall see.

Mathis & Mbatchou PLEASE. Of course would be very happy with Sims &/or Wynn as well. But those are the guys for me. Stewart if he gets on campus would vault into the top tier of guys for me as well. Regardless, we will end up with the best DL class at Texas maybe ever.

@Gerry Hamilton, so is this basically a first come first served type of situation with Sims, Simpson, Mathis, Mbatchou, Wynn, etc?? First two to commit are in and then we shut it down....??

Not necessarily if 5 of that group (counting commits) wanted in. But that's not a likely scenario
