Big visit weekend: In person reaction (Sunday 7 a.m. CST)

Big visit weekend: In person reaction

OnTexasFootball was on hand in Austin Saturday for the big visit weekend, which actually began Friday with a key surprise visitor. 

Hello Myron Charles

The 4-star defensive tackle out of Port Charlotte (Fla.) was on campus Friday with a Sunshine State 7v7 team. Word OnTexasFootball received Saturday after the visit was the 6-4, 290 pound lineman is expected back on campus, and that could happen as soon as April 20. A June OV is on the table after Friday's visit. Florida State, Miami and Florida are considered the top contenders currently, with the Seminoles receiving the most buzz by people close to the recruitment in the Sunshine State. Florida, Miami and Florida State already have June OV's on the books. 

Trending Texas

Four-star LB Elijah Barnes (Dallas/Skyline) continues to trend to Texas. Barnes and family stayed in Austin Saturday night, and will meet with Steve Sarkisian mid-morning. Barnes' visit schedule: Texas A&M April 13, Oregon April 20, Nebraska OV April 26-28, Ohio State OV May 31-June 2 and Texas June 21-23. 

Jordan and Devin Coleman (Cedar Hill, Texas/High) are higher on Texas than even before after Saturday's visit. The large humans got to watch Kyle Flood work up close, spend time around the Texas players and get an even better feel for the Texas program and university. The Coleman's will be back on campus June 21-23 for an official visit, and a decision will come after the visits conclude, at the latest. 

Four-star 2026 QB Troy Huhn (San Marcos, Calif./Mission Hills) made the three day trip with his father. Huhn, 6-4.5 and 195 pounds, was all positives in talking to OTF Saturday. He has spent plenty of time with Steve Sarkisian and A.J. Milwee on the visit. There was also some Texas related news with the family Saturday. Huhn's older sister Maddy Huhn was a freshman basketball played at Miami (Ohio) in 2023-24. She entered the portal and will be transferring to UT-RGV. 

Four-star OL John Mills (San Francisco, Calif./St. Ignatius) remained on campus Saturday night, and will head back to California today. Mills spent some time Saturday night with some of the Texas offensive linemen, including freshman center Daniel Cruz. Texas would take a commitment right now, as OnTexasFootball has been reporting for months. Washington is putting up a fight, has a May 31-June 2 OV scheduled and there are several family members that have played sports at UW. 

Houston area 4-star defensive back Kade Phillips (Missouri City, Texas/Hightower) made the trip with his mom and dad. Kade and family met with Steve Sarkisian Saturday, and Sarkisian and staff left zero doubt how much the Horns want Phillips in the class and in the program. Phillips will be at LSU April 13 for the Tigers spring game, Baylor last weekend in April for an official visit, and June OV's to LSU, Texas A&M and Texas. The Horns will get the final word June 21-23. 

New June 21-23 OV added

Make no mistake, Texas loves Ruston (La.) High cornerback Aidan Anding. Anding was on campus Saturday with his mom and brother. The result of the first in person visit for Anding and meeting with the Texas staff resulted in a June 21-23 official visit being set up. Anding visited Miami (Fla) last weekend, and Arkansas earlier in the week. 

Dorian Brew

Conroe (Texas) High 4-star cornerback Dorian Brew made his way to Austin with his mom Saturday. Brew, 6-2 and 197 pounds, said he has his official visit date locked in to Texas. The June 14-16 date is likely with Ohio State being June 21-23. Texas is locked in a national battle with the Buckeyes, USC and LSU. 

Wide receiver recruiting

Five-star wide receiver and LSU pledge Dakorien Moore (Duncanville, Texas/High) arrived in Austin Friday night, and stayed over Saturday night. He spent time with Colin Simmons and other Texas players last night following the recruiting event and meeting with Steve Sarkisian and staff members. Moore and his mom will meet again with Sarkisian Sunday before departing to head back to DFW. Moore is scheduled to be back in Austin April 20 for the spring game. He is not currently scheduled to attend the LSU spring game April 13, as he has OT7 7v7 in Dallas next weekend. OTF believes a June 21-23 official visit date to Texas will be announced by Moore in the near future.

Jaime Ffrench (Jacksonville, Fla./Mandarin) made a two day visit to Texas with family members which began on Friday. After the visit, the 5-star receiver out of the Sunshine State told C.J. Vogel that Texas has joined Ohio State and Tennessee in the top three. Ffrench will make a return visit June 21-23. Gird up your loins for a national fight that also includes Miami and FSU. 

Kaliq Lockett (Sachse, Texas/High) was on campus with his mom and dad. The family loves the academic/football combination at Texas, and that is not just talk. The family is not looking solely at football in this process. There is complete fit that is the goal - academically, football, a culture and staff that can continue to mold Lockett as a young man and trust in development in all areas. Texas is right at the top of the list headed into the remainder of the spring. Lockett and family will be back in Austin June 21-23 for an OV. 

Hitchcock (Texas) High 4-star wide receiver Kelshaun Johnson was back on campus Saturday. The Galveston County electric playmaker spent time with Steve Sarkisian and Chris Jackson on Saturday. He's scheduled to make a return visit June 14-16. Texas Tech is a factor with teammate, quarterback and good friend Lloyd Jones on the Red Raiders commit list. A June 21-23 OV to USC is also a big factor, and Johnson is expected in LA later this month.
