Lunchtime Notes On Yesterday's Junior Day

This morning I spoke with a handful of prospects who were on campus yesterday at Texas.  Here are a couple of highlights from those conversation.

- Missouri City (Hightower) 2025 four-star safety Kade Phillips had a good time on his visit.  He mentioned that the overall environment of the day was a major positive and that he was treated well. He will visit Texas A&M and Baylor next weekend.

- Henry Harris is a name to keep an eye on for the 2026 class.  The 6-foot-5, 180-pound wide receiver from San Marcos met with Texas wide receivers coach Chris Jackson for quite some time yesterday and it sounds like that made a strong impression on him.  Harris currently holds offers from California, Texas Tech and Texas State, but that should change this spring.  It's obviously very early in his recruitment and his stock should blow up in the near future.

- Prosper 2026 OT Zaden Krempin was one of many talented offensive linemen on campus yesterday and met up with Texas OL Daniel Cruz while there.  The two have trained with each other for the past two years and Cruz has been in his ear about the Longhorns. He said that, after visiting, he can easily see why Cruz decided to go to Texas.  Krempin already holds 14 offers from the likes of Florida State, Missouri, Texas A&M, Ole Miss and more.  He will visit Texas A&M and Arkansas next, with plans to return to Austin in the near future.  His current leaders are TCU, Texas A&M and SMU.

- QB recruiting seems to always happen very early and that's the case with Waco University 2027 prospect Savoy Nichols.  He already has the size, as he measured in at 6-foot-4, 172-pounds yesterday on campus.  Nichols met with both AJ Milwee and Tashard Choice and raved about both coaches, along with his visit.  He was invited back to take part in their first camp in a couple of months. Oklahoma, TCU, Nebraska, Baylor and Kansas are already showing interest, but he has no plans to visit elsewhere at this time.
