Now that Kent and Prothro have committed elsewhere who are our other options at TE?

Gather all the NIL available and keep trying at Bowman (I wish)

[Austalgia]

Not a priority.

They brought in Kaewe Browne out of Corona (Calif.) Centennial. But not sure if they circle back there.

Could be a reclassification option that happens down the line. Or see if they find someone else they like.

As I’ve written the past couple of days, Texas is happy with the two true freshmen so that dampens the absolute need somewhat.

Did Prothro commit to Georgia???   🤷🏻‍♂️

Not at the current price.

Losing out on mark “money bags” bowman hurts

[CoachBobbyFinstock]

No one this cycle or the portal come spring if necessary

Not sure if it’s official yet, but yes, that’s the expectation.

Hopefully Nick Townsend is the stud everyone thinks he is and Emaree Winston is a hidden gem after early enrolling. But I’m pretty underwhelmed with what Banks has done recruiting tightends to this point on top of the atrocious special teams last year….

Thank your for the information Bobby!

They like both Winston and Townsend a lot.

When evaluating Banks as a recruiter, keep in mind he is not only the lead TE recruiter. He is a key piece in DFW, certain areas of Houston, Florida, California and Arizona for recruits of any position. For example, he helped with Myron Charles and Graceson Littleton last year among others.

We took 2 last year. If we don’t find a quality talent, try to get 2 in 2027. 
 

We only have 13 graduating seniors, even 7 more declare early, we need some attrition to take a class of 25. TE isn’t a need. Worst case portal again. Endries is only one that could leave early.

USC is really hurt by his cost to recruit.

Texas is fine at TE.

I mean we can say “we’re fine” at any position, But elite teams keep stacking elite players and with sark saying tight end is the second most important position after quarterback letting one like mark bowman get away hurts
