Moderators CJ Vogel Posted February 11 Moderators Posted February 11 A couple of mid-week trips as the recruiting cycle awaits its next period in the month of March. The first to Georgetown East View HS, home of 2026 LB Tieson Ejiawoko and the next out to Bastrop HS Wednesday AM to see 2026 DL Tiki Hola. *** 2026 Georgetown East View LB Tieson Ejiawoko A January offer by the Longhorns is one to keep an eye for the 2026 cycle. Texas officially joined the race for the Texas Tech commit on the January 25th Junior Day. Prior to that, Pete Kwiatkowski made the trip out to East View and only four day after, Johnny Nansen made the trip as well. Steve Sarkisian has just started to get involved her as well. Ejiawoko is currently listed at 6-foot-3-inches and 227 pounds. He plans to throw shot and run track this fall. He did mention the goal this spring was to hit 50-feet in the shot put. While the Texas Tech commitment is firm, the Longhorns are going to be a tough team to beat here. The proximity to home is key, as well as the Longhorns' on-field success. Ejiawoko mentioned the Longhorns going to back-to-back College Football Playoff Semifinals as something that caught his eye. Currently, Ejiawoko has just two official visits locked in: June 13: Texas June 20: Texas Tech Other schools that are worth monitoring are TCU, Arizona State, UTSA, UTEP. Texas A&M visited twice in the spring, but did not offer, something that is worth mentioning. All in all, a prospect I think that has a very high, untapped ceiling. Texas will be a player here moving forward with a very solid chance to sway the commitment before it is all said and done. *** I will be headed to Bastrop tomorrow and have some updates in the morning. 8 Quote

Moderators CJ Vogel Posted February 12 Author Moderators Posted February 12 I forgot to mention, but Ejiawoko has been committed to Texas Tech since August of 2024. They were among the first schools to offer him and he has a very strong relationship with TTU HC Joey McGuire and LB Coach CJ Ah You. There are some schools that are recruiting Ejiawoko has an outside back/edge rusher and others as strictly a middle linebacker. Texas in the latter group. 3 1 Quote

Violent, aggressive, will deliver a blow to anyone trying to block him. OK speed. I like him at off ball LB rather than Edge. 1 Quote

Moderators CJ Vogel Posted February 12 Author Moderators Posted February 12 Big fan of 2027 Bastrop LB Austin Moilan. He has grown to 6-2 and 205 already and will enter his sophomore spring season on plenty of college radars. Arizona State has offered. He attended SMU and TCU camps in the winter as well. Is recruited early on as an outside linebacker, but ultimately could be moved to middle if he is capped growing. Quote
Moderators CJ Vogel Posted February 12 Author Moderators Posted February 12 I am personally a big fan of Weston Nielsen, the 2027 QB at Bastrop. Personally, he reminds me a bit of Cade Klubnik, can move, throws on the run and is a gamer. Nielsen will clear 50:00 in the 400m this year. Texas A&M has been a constant here, but watch for Illinois, Miami and Arizona State to all make moves. Sophomore Hudl: https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19770901/66f98550dc4a6052470d91d8 Quote
Moderators CJ Vogel Posted February 12 Author Moderators Posted February 12 2026 Bastrop DL Tiki Hola has narrowed his schools down to five – Oregon, USC, Notre Dame, Texas and SMU. So far, he has three official visit dates set for the summer: May 2-4: SMU June 6-8: USC June 12–14: Notre Dame Texas has yet to finalize an official visit weekend just yet, but there have been conversations with Kenny Baker and the staff about setting up an OV weekend. Hola mentioned he has a great relationship with Kenny Baker and that has continued to be a big part of his recruitment. It is worth mentioning that Hola has not been to campus since the Pool Bash back in July. Notre Dame has made things really interesting here, Hola spoke highly of Marcus Freeman and how much he is involved with his recruitment. USC and SMU are not to be overlooked either. Texas will have a chance when it is all said and done, but I got the vibe from my trip that they will need to overcome a school or two to get the job done here.
