Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted February 8 Moderators Share Posted February 8 OnTexasFootball brings Texas fans some Thursday morning recruiting notes and nuggets. K.J. Lacey’s next visit to Texas OnTexasFootball spoke with a source very close to the recruitment of quarterback commitment K.J. Lacey Wednesday evening. Lacey, 6-0 and 180 pounds, cancelled an unofficial visit to Ole Miss last Saturday. The reason? That’s one visit the Texas staff pushed back on a little bit according to the source. Lacey instead attended the Senior Bowl, and spent some time chatting with T'Vondre Sweat. Ole Miss and Auburn are the two teams making the most effort to flip the OnTexasFootball 4-star signal caller. Alabama is not considered a threat at this time. Lacey is expected to make an unofficial visit to Texas this spring, but a date is not locked in. A June official visit will also happen, of course. He’s in daily contact with QB coach A.J. Milwee, and once or twice weekly with Steve Sarkisian. Texas and Rickey Stewart OnTexasFootball made a stop at Tyler (Texas) Chapel Hill High Wednesday. It’s safe to say the Longhorns are a heavy favorite to land OnTexasFootball 4-star running back Rickey Stewart. Stewart will make an unofficial visit with his mom in March. It’s not a lock his recruitment carries out until July or August. The timeline is fluid. Baylor is running second in the race. Texas and Demetrius Brisbon Jr. Texas area recruiter and safeties coach Blake Gideon continues to evaluate the former SMU verbal, and current Baylor pledge. Brisbon, 5-11.5 and 170 pounds, could pop back up in Austin in March. Texas has told those close to the recruitment that they would like to get him back on campus in the spring. Kilgore High has three very talented prospects to know Kilgore High has a trio of prospects Texas is monitoring. The first is ultra athletic 2025 defensive back Jayden Sanders. The 6-foot, 175-pounder with 4.46 speed attended Texas Junior day January 20. Area recruiter and safeties coach Blake Gideon watched Sanders during a Kilgore High basketball practice in January. Sanders made a visit to Oklahoma State last week, and was given the red carpet treatment by Mike Gundy and staff. The Cowboys are considered the slight favorite over Baylor. Kansas State offered Wednesday. Sanders father is former TCU standout cornerback Nick Sanders, who Gary Patterson signed out of Kilgore High in 2005. Sanders is a coach at Kilgore High. Jayden Sanders mother was an All-Conference sprinter at the University of Houston. The 2026 class has two prospects to know. Defensive tackle Cameron Christian is a player Texas is monitoring. The 6-foot-0.5, 275-pounder is among the best athletes at defensive tackle in the Lone Star State in the 2026 cycle. Watching Christian up close Wednesday, he is a Power 5 level athlete. His height will be the question, but he possesses plus arm length for his size, huge 11-inch hands and wears a 13 shoe. He’s still 15. Kilgore High 2026 LaKeyleon Graves is a 6-foot-1, 180-pound safety/LB with 4.6 speed. Graves has the frame to add considerable weight/muscle mass.

Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted February 8 Author Moderators Share Posted February 8 Kilgore High 2026 DT Cameron Christian is one I’m watching closely headed into the 2024 season. Not many kids his age have 11-inch hands at 15 years old with arm length and 13 shoe. If he can get to 6-1.5 … he going to be a 20 offer kid.

uthorn1374 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Lacey needs to spend his time building this class up and being a leader like Arch did as soon as he committed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he's running easy, but the yard lines fly by and nobody catches him from behind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurntOrangeMD Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I'd like to see KJ Lacey show up for the Texas Spring Game on April 20th! Looking forward to seeing a list of those who will be attending the Texas Spring Game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t.newman Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 With Christian being 15 yrs old and having such large feet/hands, makes you wonder if he might grow a few more inches in the next year or two? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His brother is a 6-0 standout DT at Lamar University that will likely be recruited to the portal after the 2024 season. Christian is already a little taller. If he can to 6-1.5 it’s a recruitment changer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaHorn Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 If K.J. Lacey would just settle on a school he could be such a positive force in Texas recruiting. I’m glad he canceled the visit to Ole Miss. Of course, it seemed like the world was ending when Ryan Perrilloux flipped to LSU. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't stop visiting at the request of coaches unless you are reasonably settled IMO. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
