Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted February 10 Moderators Share Posted February 10 OnTexasFootball 4-star Courtland Guillory talks Texas offer Klein (Texas) Oak defensive back Courtland Guillory has become one of the most sought after prospects in Texas since the conclusion of the 2023 season. Arizona State was the first program to offer in November of 2023. Since that time, 14 more Power 5 programs have thrown their hat in the ring. That list includes Texas February 1. Guillory, 6-1 and 175, provided his thoughts earlier in the week on the offer by the Longhorns. “Coach (Blake) Gideon and Coach (Terry) Joseph they came down to my school," Guillory told OnTexasFootball. "I had already met with Coach Joseph earlier in the month (January). He (Joseph) told me he liked my size at corner, and my versatility. Couple of days later they showed up at my basketball practice and that's when they offered. They said they like big, long corners." Guillory kept it simple when asked for his thoughts on Texas. “Texas is a powerhouse." The question for Texas fans is when will Guillory make a visit to Texas. That is expected in March. “I’m going to go to some schools (in March). I know I’ll be going to UT and TCU. That’s for sure.” Texas A&M setting the pace early Guillory grew up watching Texas A&M and Oregon the most. The Aggies offered the day after Texas, and the Houston area prospect made a visit last weekend, along with a trip to Oklahoma. “It was my first time on campus. It was a cool experience. I got to sit down with Coach (Jay) Bateman, and go over the defense and what the plan was. He told me he likes long corners. He thinks I would be great fit because I’m versatile. I can play more than corner." Guillory, along with his mom and dad, had the opportunity to speak with Aggies head coach Mike Elko at length. “He was a cool guy. My parents got to talk to him. We were talking about life, my journey and where I’m at now. It was a pretty dope experience. He definitely left a good impression on me." Late summer decision planned Guillory told OTF he grew up dreaming of playing in the SEC. That made the Tennessee offer January 20 on a Junior Day visit special. "Tennessee was a special offer because I had gone on a visit and didn’t have an offer. It was my first SEC offer." Since Tennessee offered, four more SEC programs have offered. They are Oklahoma, Missouri, Texas and Texas A&M. Guillory is taking it all in headed in the spring with June official visits the plan prior to a decision. "I think I’m going to commit at the end of the summer before the start of the season." View full news 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think A&M is in front early. Texas will get him on campus in March or April. See where it goes from there 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators CJ Vogel Posted February 10 Moderators Share Posted February 10 Think Guillory has really nice potential here. Senior year will show a level that he’s yet to put on tape. Interesting to see what he prioritizes in his recruitment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirkridge Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) Gerry He seems a little short and light weight. Do you think he can add the 50 or so pounds to play in the SEC? Not Guillory but Kobo. Edited February 10 by kirkridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to have good physical instincts, likes contact and knows how to use his length well. I'm sure most colleges are pitching him boundary corner but would be maximized long term at FS pretty clearly imo At the AA Bowl Combine he checked in at 6'1.5" 175 with a 72 inch wingspan. Ran a 4.88 40 and hit a top speed of 20.76mph, 4.68 shuttle and 28inch vertical Not great testing numbers but I think he plays faster than 4.8 and the surface at that combine is slower than most turfs. As Texas fans saw with Ryan Watts, having a long physical presence at boundary CB in the run/bubble screen game can be very valuable in college football, even if that player doesnt have burner speed Other players like Zay Gentry, Caleb Chester, Swayde Griffin may offer that same length at CB, with less physicality but more speed and coverage ability. I like Guillory as a DB prospect but wouldnt put him in the top 5 instate of pure CB prospects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why Texas hasnt pushed there Wright from Destrehan can really run but the recruit I'm watching the most is Jabari Mack 2026 WR. He can really play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodfork has upside...more of a stash and develop prospect for a year or two in the SEC. He's got the long levers. Texas will use spring evaluation period to make some big/key decisions IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
