Was surprised yall didn’t include Byron Washington, are other targets being prioritized over him 

Expand  

Right now, yes. 

But key on the OL ... Texas is going to evaluate in the spring prior to June OV's

So you mentioned Jonah Williams is leaning OU because of football/baseball combo. Why would that not make Texas the strongest contender?

Expand  

Oklahoma has hit that hard with guys having success ... Kyler Murray and Cody Thomas. And OU has also been recruiting him at safety/athlete longer.

Think I would like to see Texas take 5 DL if they have the opportunity to not move very far down the board. Cant be light on the DL in the SEC.

Guys like Sanders, Utley, Jyon Simon, Riles, Simpson, Battle, Okponu are all very good players. Of those mentioned, DJ Sanders and Dilan Battle probably fit what PK likes do on defense best

To me, Ty Haywood seems more likely than Newman to be in the class and just as good if not better. There are a lot of good OT prospects in state but curious to see how Flood views each prospect. Texas could pitch 3 OTs in a single class after only taking one last cycle 

Expand  

Agree on Battle. Big fan.

Malcolm Simpson is now at Hitchcock High. I think that move will give him an opportunity to get where he needs to be academically. 

 

Haywood is behind some other, but spring eval period is going to be key on the OL.

Ive only seen him once and that was when he was a soph. Goodlooking athlete but he didnt do much that game but it was a blowout so hard to tell.

Great list, Gerry. Solid read.

I am glad Marsh and Byron Washington aren't on the list. I am hoping we are hard pass on the former and play nice on the latter and fill up at OL without him.

Rickey Stewart 600 plus carries before his senior year is a lot of wear and tear on young RB body is concern

It's going to be a little different than other lists. Should be fun.

Expand  

Different type of grading based college potential not NFL projections?

Stoked to see OTF recruiting rankings!

I wonder how much Nansen will influence this list.

Always loved these Gerry, glad it’s back!

surprised the massive IOL out of De Soto isn’t in the best class scenario

He’s behind some others headed into the spring, as of today. Not saying he can’t be in the class at some point

I’m not high on that move. I don’t say that really ever but I hope we go in another direction for RB2.

Tashard Choice loves Akylin Dear out of Mississippi ... lets see if Texas gets him on campus in March. Ole Miss is confident on this one

Gerry do you think we have a shot at the #1 class in the country? If not when do you think that could happen for us? 

[Quinncent McManning, Jr.]

Saw we got a cb for Woodfork to Texas. Are we thinking 2 EDGE prospects or 3?  Wondering if Morgan or Woodfork is a better complement to Jackson

If y'all noticed ... I'm giving out some OnTexasFootball star rankings ... I will do more with that shortly.

Interested in your rankings for sure. Definitely will add to the site  

[cottoncitysmooth]

Wouldnt mind Tiger, Simeon or Dear for Rb2 to pair with davison. also was hoping you had chad woodfork on this list. I think he is a take for texas regardles. thoughts?

I doubt it because I don't see Texas with a 27-29 man class (what Georgia has in 2024)... Texas would have to clean sweep in a 24 man class to have shot, but it's also very early to make declarations in 2025.

I'm thinking two for now. And Lance Jackson is already in the boat. Of course, if anyone were to leave after the spring ... could bump the number.
