Monday Morning Recruiting Nuggets
The Texas Longhorns staff is coming off an extremely busy couple of months on the recruiting front.
January brought a Junior Day with around 150 combined prospects in the 2025 and 2026 classes in Austin.
The staff wrapped up the month with a number of new offers being made in 2025 and 2026, mostly out of state.
OnTexasFootball gets the week going with some Monday morning recruiting nuggets.
Recruitments Texas can win
Rickey Stewart, RB, Tyler (Texas) Chapel Hill
The Longhorns offered the one-time SMU verbal January 20 at Junior Day. Texas can win this one with a big push, and Steve Sarkisian was by Chapel Hill in January. There has been some Texas chatter in the last few days with Baylor also in play. Stewart’s teammate and friend Demetrius Brisbane Jr. has already flipped from SMU to Baylor.
Kelshaun Johnson, WR, Hitchcock (Texas) High
The explosive wide receiver is considered a Texas lean headed into the spring. Johnson attended Junior Days at Texas and Texas A&M in January. The offensive scheme, the quarterback room and Texas trajectory are key reasons why every program is chasing the Longhorns. A decision is expected prior to his senior season.
Kiotti Armstrong, TE, Jasper (Texas) High
The 6-foot-5, 250-pound Southeast Texas tight end is considered a Texas lean headed into the spring. He made Junior Day visits to Texas A&M and Texas in January. He will head back to Texas March 22 with his 7v7 team prior to a tournament in the Austin area. Armstrong currently plans to make June official visits and announce a decision around the start of the 2024 season.
OL John Mills planning June OV
John Mills, IOL, San Francisco (Calif.) St. Ignatius
Mills attended the Texas Junior Day January 20, and is planning to make an official visit in June. He has spoke with Texas OL coach Kyle Flood about visit dates. Mills also attended the Florida Junior Day January 27. Washington (a number of family members were athletes at UW) and Michigan also remain very much in the mix. Nebraska is working to make a push as well.
Speaking of June official visits, the last weekend of the month will be the big visit weekend for the Longhorns. Two prospects already expected to make official visits that last weekend are Lewisville (Texas) High’s Michael Fasusi and Dickinson (Texas) High’s IOL Tyler Thomas.
One more note
Hightower (Texas) High 2025 CB/DB Kade Phillips attended Texas Junior Day January 20 with hopes of an offer. That has yet to happen. Phillips was back on campus at Texas A&M Saturday. This recruitment is looking like a Texas A&M vs. LSU final barring a major change.
