  • Recapping the Offered Junior Day Visitors | Jan. 20


    CJ Vogel

    Texas hosted 120+ prospects on campus this weekend for their first junior day of the 2024 calendar year. Among that group was a great deal of offered prospects that made the trip as well.

    A quick recap, to the best of my knowledge, of the names from the 2025 class that visited campus on Saturday that currently hold an offer in hand:

    Quarterback

    – KJ Lacey visited campus on January 13th and will be back on January 27th. No other 2025 QBs were on campus.

    Running Back

    • Mater Dei RB Jordon Davison
    • Chapel Hill RB Rickey Stewart**
    • Southlake Carroll RB Riley Wormley 

    Texas is prioritizing Davison and he was able to earn some 1-on-1 time with Coach Sarkisian on the trip. Stewart was offered on the trip and was rather emotional when discussing his reaction to being offered.

    Wide Receiver

    • Shadow Creek WR Carterrius Brown
    • Lancaster WR Emmanuel Choice
    • Dekaney WR Tanook HInes
    • Hitchcock WR Kelshaun Johnson
    • SA Brandeis WR Jaden Perez
    • Tomball Memorial WR Ashton Ansley
    • Shadow Creek WR Jacorey Watson

    Jacorey Watson was unable to stay too late, but was on campus. One to watch here is Kelshaun Johnson, the speedy playmaker has risen up the priority list as of late.

    Tight End

    • Jasper TE Kiotti Armstrong
    • Dekaney TE Nick Townsend

    Texas has Emaree Winston in the fold at the moment in the 2025 class, but hosted two very talented prospects out of the Houston area.

    Offensive Line

    • Prosper OL Connor Carty** 
    • Port Neches Grove OL Jackson Christian
    • Bridgeland OL Ryan Fodje** 
    • St. Ignatius College Preparatory (CA) OL John Mills
    • Bridgeland OL Jonte Newman
    • Mesquite Horn OL Lamont Rogers
    • DeSoto OL Byron Washington

    A familiar group of names were on campus this weekend. Texas is leading the pack for Byron Washington at the moment. Kyle Flood offered Ryan Fodje and Connor Carty on their trips. As for John Mills, he arrived Friday night and was able to stick around all day for the junior day.

    Defensive Line

    • Spring DL Floyd Guidry
    • Cy Fair DL Landon Rink
    • Denton Guyer DL Xavier Ukponu

    No defensive line coach on campus did not stop a handful of Texas offers from seeing campus.

    Defensive End

    • South Oak Cliff EDGE Kamauryn Morgan
    • Pleasant Grove EDGE Lance Jackson
    • Summer Creek EDGE Chad Woodfork
    • Lake Travis EDGE Gus Cordova**

    Texas offered 6-foot-5 Lake Travis edge rusher Gus Cordova on the visit this weekend. Kamauryn Morgan said Texas was in his top five as well, plus the Longhorns earned a commitment from Lance Jackson.

    Linebackers

    • Shadow Creek LB Anthony Williams
    • McKinney LB Riley Pettijohn
    • Dallas Skyline LB Elijah Bo Barnes
    • IMG Academy LB Gavin Nix
    • South Oak Cliff LB Jayden Shelton

    Anthony Williams was doing some hard recruiting for the Longhorns behind the scenes on the visit. Johnny Nansen was also out last week to see Elijah Bo Barnes in person and was able to double-dip by getting him onto campus for the visit.

    Defensive Backs

    • Conroe CB Dorian Brew
    • Westgate (LA) CB Jaboree Antoine
    • Shadow Creek CB Cobey Sellers
    • Fort Bend Marshall CB Caleb Chester

    Brew stuck around campus until about 6:30 p.m., a great sign for Texas' chances to make up ground. OTF has been told the Texas staff was a big fan of Caleb Chester on the visit as well. Plus, Austin has been a common destination for Jaboree Antoine over the last few months too.

    Athletes

    • Alamo Heights ATH Michael Terry III**
    • Chapel Hill ATH Demetrius Brisbon 

    Michael Terry III was quick to add Texas to his top group following the trip – Texas, TCU and Texas Tech. The offer of Rickey Stewart was a big moment for Brisbon when on campus as well.

    So no Jonah Williams this weekend, seems like that one isn’t gonna happen. 
     

    Elite group of visitors though, glad they could get so many of them on campus Saturday.

    Jonah was always a maybe to attend this weekend in Austin. Would be really big to get him on campus again here in the winter months.

    I always try to be fair having coached a long time myself.But with the news around the Cordova Kid , I truly hope UT got into all that went on with his behavior toward a teammate with the peanut allergy.

    All over the news here and judging from posts on different sites this is a bit of a head scratcher to me and others at this time. Guess time will tell if charges are filed eventually, but to me not worth the offer at this time.

    So what's the story?

    Rather than try to go all into it just Google Lake Travis football player peanut allergy. It will show stories from all the major networks here. CBS and Fox were among the best.

    Again to be fair I would hope things were thoroughly checked out. Seems like another case of a talented football player getting the easy treatment in a very serious case. Have heard the mother is still fighting on his behalf with bullying still going on. This offer just brought it back out in the public again, and I have a sneaky suspicion this wasn't fully vetted with so much going on. But has definitely been picked up on all message boards for sure

    Texas should really go after kids in San Antonio. They’re really underrated.

    I am a really big fan of Royal Capell's game.
