Texas Coaches on the Road

Wed, 24 Jan 2024 20:40:47 +0000

Steve Sarkisian spent a fair amount of time in Dallas today.

The Horns’ head coach has already been to both Skyline and South Oak Cliff today.

One player that is clearly a priority for the Horns this recruiting cycle is Bo Barnes, the linebacker at Skyline.

It’s the third time Sarkisian or a Texas coach has met with Barnes in the last week (once at junior day and twice at Skyline).

Quick Note On 2025 ATH Michael Terry III

Wed, 24 Jan 2024 17:06:26 +0000

Texas offered 2025 Alamo Heights ATH Michael Terry III over the weekend during the Junior Day.

Terry did not shy away from discussing how much the Texas offer meant to him. Following the trip, Terry mentioned Texas joined TCU and Texas Tech in his top 3 grouping.

Should Texas fully pursue Terry, I would give them the nod in this recruitment. There are some connections to the Texas program here that will work in the Longhorns' favor behind the scenes.

The Longhorns did not discuss a specific position on the trip with Terry which is interesting. The do-it-all athlete has been recruited mostly at WR, though there have been other offers ranging across the field, including corner and safety.

The 6-foot-3 athlete is ranked as the 11th player in the state of Texas for the 2025 cycle per the composite rankings.

One More Note on Lance Jackson

Wed, 24 Jan 2024 16:58:24 +0000

Josh Gibson, the head coach of Texarkana Pleasant-Grove, tells On Texas Football that Lance Jackson, the 6-foot-6, 245-pound defensive end who committed to Texas on Sunday, is expected be a mid-term enrollee.

In other words, if everything goes right, Jackson would join the Longhorns in January of 2025.

Intel on the Jabbar Muhammad Recruitment

Wed, 24 Jan 2024 16:13:01 +0000

Former Washington DB Jabbar Muhammad is in Eugene at the moment wrapping up his official to Oregon.

The Ducks, to me, are the favorite to land the former All-PAC 12 cornerback, despite the family ties Muhammad has to Texas.

A large reason for that is the snap share Muhammad would have with Oregon, and even Alabama for that matter. It is no secret Texas likes to rotate its defensive backs throughout games and the cornerback position is one that will have several capable bodies fighting for playing time in 2024.

Oregon is pitching an immediate starting role for Muhammad. With the former DFW native hoping to increase his draft grade with one final collegiate season, playing time is the highest priority on the list.

Immediate play time is biggest differentiator in this recruitment to me, and ultimately one that will decide where Muhammad will end up.

Ryan Williams Update

Tue, 23 Jan 2024 22:44:52 +0000

Getting some conflicting information on whether or not wide receiver Ryan Williams from Saraland, Ala., will still make his scheduled visit to Texas this weekend.

There is some thought that the five-star receiver is shutting down his recruitment. Whether that comes before or after his visit to Texas this weekend, I am unsure.

It will be something we are monitoring over the next 24-48 hours.

Four-Star OL Announces Top 8

Brandon Harris on the Recruiting Trail

Tue, 23 Jan 2024 20:57:38 +0000

While Texas looks for its new defensive line coach, Steve Sarkisian has elevated Texas' Director of Recruiting, Brandon Harris to the 10-man coaching staff to allow him to get on the road to recruit.

Harris was out in Louisiana Tuesday afternoon, checking in on a pair of powerhouses in the area.

First stop was at Westgate High School, home to 2025 CB Jaboree Antoine and former home of Texas S Derek Williams.

Soon thereafter, Harris made the trip to University Lab, home to 2025 LB Keylan Moses (LSU commit) and the No. 2 overall player in the 2026 class, OT Lamar Brown.

Potential Next Route for Portal CB

Tue, 23 Jan 2024 18:56:34 +0000

Texas is still hot in pursuit of former Washington CB Jabbar Muhammad, however as Bobby mentioned earlier this afternoon, the Oregon Ducks are positioned to take the pole position with Muhammad now in Eugene.

Now, if Muhammad does decide to join the Ducks, there is another name from another program to keep an eye on.

Jim Harbaugh is reportedly headed to Los Angeles today for a 2nd in-person interview with the Chargers. A deal is within "strikiing distance" per Zach Barnett of FootballScoop.

Should Harbaugh depart, a name passed on to me to keep an eye on in regards to a possible portal entry is CB Will Johnson.

Johnson was the Defensive MVP of the National Title game and a former five-star prospect out of Grosse Pointe, Michigan.
