OTF on the road: Wednesday recruiting notes

OnTexasFootball made a trio of school stops Wednesday in the Houston area. We will hit on two of those stops. 

Dekaney High

OTF attended practice at Dekaney High in Houston/Spring. OnTexasFootball is very close to ranking Nicolas Townsend a 5-star prospect. The 6-3.25, 232 pound Texas commitment is arguably the most versatile football player in the country. He's a top 50 level prospect at TE or OLB. His combination of athleticism, football intelligence, physicality and ball skills is truly elite. How many positions has Townsend lined up at this season? Short snapper, long snapper, punt return team, kickoff return team, tight end, outside receiver, running back, wildcat quarterback, MIKE backer and outside linebacker. Townsend will attend the Georgia game October 19. Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian and Jeff Banks are scheduled to be by Dekaney High's game Friday vs. Westfield. 

Texas invited USC WR/ATH commit and OnTexasFootball 4-star Tanook Hines to a game this season. The Horns continue to take a senior look at a number of prospects, and Hines is one of those. Ole Miss, Texas A&M and others continue to try and recruit Hines. Word around Dekaney High is Texas is the one school that could make a big move with a push. 

Hastings High

OneTexasFootball 4-star++ EDGE and #Hookem commit Smith Orogbo was off to a tremendous start this season before a knee injury cut his season short. The injury is considered something he was born with vs. a ligament injury on the field. Per Smith, he doesn't have ligament damage. Smith is choosing to have surgery (next Wednesday) now and get ready for the summer at Texas vs. trying to play through the pain this season, and not have surgery until he reports to Texas in January. Orogbo, 6-3.25 and 214 pounds, is scheduled to receive a visit from Steve Sarkisian and Jeff Banks Friday.

Is the surgery expected to permanently fix the knee issue for Smith? Or can it reoccur?

I would think this would correct whatever issue he has, especially given how advanced we are medically these days in relation to athletes injuries. Of course this is just my opinion.
