    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.
    ** Indicates player received an offer on the visit.
    Bobby Burton
    From a source in Tucson, I am told that Texas is the "clear favorite" to land Tiaoalii Savea , the 6-foot-4, 305-pound defensive tackle transfer from Arizona. Savea visited Texas over the weekend and has a very strong bond with Texas linebackers coach Johnny Nansen, who joined the Longhorn staff from Arizona this off-season.
    Savea is expected to be a mid-term enrollee. All mid-term enrollees at Texas must enroll by Jan. 30 at the very latest.
    Texas has already added seven players from the NCAA's transfer portal. Besides Savea, Texas also continues to recruit Washington cornerback Jabbar Muhammad. Muhammad visited Texas with his parents on Wednesday and Thursday and visited Alabama over the weekend. He is expected to return to Washington to collect his belongings this week and visit Oregon while in the Pacific Northwest.

    This will probably be the last of the junior day information you see from me, but wanted to share what I rounded up late last night/early today.
    - This morning marks the start of winter workouts for the Longhorns. After about three weeks off, they're back in the saddle in preparation for the 2024 season.
    - CJ Vogel spoke this weekend of how impressionable new Texas linebackers coach Johnny Nansen was this weekend and that he hit it of well with many recruits.  I also heard rave reviews on both wide recievers coach Chris Jackson and running backs coach Tashard Choice.  The two of them, along with Nansen, were mentioned as coaches who stood out the most and made parents feel really good about where the program is heading.
    - Texas may have landed a 2026 RB in Aledo's Raycine Guillory over the weekend, but another name to keep an eye on at the position is Forney's Javian Osborne. Running backs coach Tashard Choice offered him nearly a year ago and the two spent an ample amount of time together this weekend in Austin for the junior day as well. Osborne, who already holds offers in the double digits, was already high on Texas and this past weekend has only helped their chances more.
    - It's still very early in the process for 2026 CB Braylon Edwards (Wilmer-Hutchins), but he was on campus Saturday for the first time. He checked in at 5-foot-10, 185-pounds and caught the attention of cornerbacks coach Terry Joseph and safeties coach Blake Gideon and they told Edwards they could envision him playing either position. Edwards will visit Texas A&M this upcoming weekend, followed by LSU on February 3rd. One other thing worth noting in this recruitment is that Edwards is the cousin of Jordan Johnson-Reubell.  
    -  Dallas Kimball's Kevin Jacobs is a 2025 defensive back, but he spent a lot of time with Tashard Choice as well.  One thing Jacobs noted is that he felt Texas did a phenomenal job of explaining their plan for the future, both on the field with their play and off the field with their recruiting.  Jacobs said that, without a doubt, he will be returning.
