Tyler Thomas has visits scheduled to Texas (Tuesday 1:34 p.m. CST)

Tyler Thomas has multiple visits scheduled to Texas

Dickinson, Texas - One of the top offensive line targets for the Texas Longhorns in the 2025 cycle is Tyler Thomas (Dickinson, Texas/High). 

Thomas, 6-5 and 320, was offered by Texas June 3, 2023 following the Longhorns Elite Camp. Since that time, offensive line coach Kyle Flood has made the Galveston County area standout a priority. And Thomas has reciprocated the Texas heavy interest with at least four visits to Texas for games and camps. 

Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian and Flood stopped by Dickinson High in January to meet with Thomas. 

Thomas didn't hold back his thoughts on Texas headed into the spring. 

"I really like Texas," Thomas told OnTexasFootball Tuesday. "They have been recruiting me the hardest for the longest. They have always been a special place for me. I just feel different with Texas. Coach Sark just wants me to fall in love with the culture and the thought of being a Longhorn."

Offensive line coach Kyle Flood's resume and consistency with Sarkisian stand out. 

"He's a great O-line coach. Him and Coach Sark have been together for nine years, I think they said. They are a really great duo. Coach Flood can really coach O-line."

Thomas has two April visits locked in to get back to Texas, with a third to come in June. 

"I'm going up there April 6th, and I'm getting back for the Spring Game (April 20)."

Texas A&M and LSU spring visits scheduled
Before Thomas steps foot on campus in Austin in April, he will make March visits to the two teams that are likely the biggest competition for the Longhorns. Thomas is scheduled to be at LSU March 9 and Texas A&M March 30.

Texas A&M: "Biggest takeaway (January 27 Junior Day) was how much family means to them. A lot of them were at Duke together, so they are already a family. I could feel it the second I walked in. Coach Elko said they need me. He said my class is going to be the first class because they have a lot of senior graduate. So my class is going to come in and compete early."

LSU: "Coach (Brad) Davis came to the school (in January). His message was how much he loves his players. He said he may not be the perfect coach, but one thing that never fails is how much he loves his players every day. He wants me to come be part of the brotherhood."

Texas A&M, Texas, LSU and Oklahoma are the four schools that will receive official visits. Texas A&M is locked in for June 14-16, and Texas is likely June 28-30.
