    Third Offer Goes Out

    By Bobby Burton, in Articles,

    Prosper offensive lineman Connor Carty is the third new scholarship offer made to a member of the 2025 recruiting cycle today by the Longhorn coaching staff.
    Carty, a 6-foot-5, 295-pound offensive lineman, was offered by Texas just moments ago. Carty also has scholarship offers from Baylor, Arkansas and more.
    Earlier today, Tyler Chapel Hull running back Rickey Wright and Bridgeland High School offensive lineman Ryan Fodje were offered scholarships by the Longhorns.

    By Bobby Burton, in Articles,

    The second known offer to come from today's Junior Day was bestowed on Rickey Wright, a running back from Tyler Chapel Hill. Wright, who is 5-foot-10, 180 pounds.
    Wright is one of the state's most prolific offensive prospects with more than 6,000 yards rushing in his high school career. He was district offensive MVP as both a sophomore and junior. Last season alone, he rushed for 2,855 yards and 40 touchdowns.
    Wright and his teammate Demtrius Brisbon, who plays QB for Chapel Hill, are both currently committed to SMU. Wright has also been offered by Alabama, Baylor and Arkansas among others.

    The morning was quite chilly here in Austin. Recruits and their parents parked well off campus and were shuttled to DKR and the coaches offices.
    On to the visitor notes:
    Shadow Creek is well-represented on campus with prospects like Texas LB commit Anthony Williams, 2025 CB Cobey Sellers, and the expected arrival of 2025 WR Jacorey Watson.
    On the linebacker front, Texas is pursuing two really important DFW area targets. The first is Dallas Skyline LB Elijah Bo Barnes who arrived in the first group of prospects. Barnes said Texas LB coach Johnny Nansen stopped by this week to watch him workout. Barnes will visit Texas A&M next week.
    The other big LB prospect is 2025 McKinney LB Riley Pettijohn who was able to get to campus early this morning as well. Pettijohn certainly looks the part.
    Bridgeland HS in the Houston area boasts two impressive offensive tackles, 2025 OT Ryan Fodje and 2025 OT Jonte Newman, both showing substantial interest in Texas. Fodje is a prime candidate to leave campus with an offer this afternoon.
    Cy Fair DL Landon Rink arrived this morning, there was excitement about hearing from former teammate Trey Owens and getting insights into campus life. Rink told me Texas A&M coach Mike Elko stopped by Cy Fair this week to see him in person, added that it meant a lot to be on of the first prospects Elko went to see in person since taking over the head job.
    An unexpected 2025 LB visitor from IMG Academy, Gavin Nix, has caught attention with Texas making quietly impressive strides. Nix spoke with our Blake Munroe prior to his campus trip about what he hoped to see on campus.
    2025 DeSoto OL Byron Washington returned to campus. The #BigHuman has been a common name in Texas circles, he and Coach Flood have a strong relationship and he was eager to the next chapter of his Texas recruitment.
    Also, 2027 DeSoto WR Boobie Feaster, aiming for a 10.5 100m time this spring, also made an appearance.
    Jasper TE Kiotti Armstrong from the class of 2025 successfully made it to campus.
    2025 Louisiana DB Jaboree Antoine is in attendance for the Texas-Baylor basketball game with his family. The Texas coaching staff will be in attendance with them there.
    2026 Mater Dei LB Shaun Scott also made it to campus after a delayed flight last night. Scott holds 14 offers thus far.
    **
    There are 250 seats designated specifically for Texas recruits and their families at the Texas-Baylor basketball game at the Moody Center this morning. The recruiting team escorted the prospects from Moncrief to Moody right after their arrivals.
    **
    Texas portal WR Isaiah Bond is meeting and greeting with prospects inside the facility. He arrived to Moncrief around 10 a.m. and has been mingling with recruits and their families all morning. Pretty cool deal for the new Longhorn.
    **
    We'll have more substantial updates after the Texas prospects wrap up their time on campus.

    New Portal Visitor?

    By Bobby Burton, in Articles,

    According to a source in Tucson, Texas is expected to host Tiaoalli Savea, a defensive tackle from Arizona, on a visit this weekend, possibly as soon as today.
    Savea, who is 6-foot-4, 305 pounds, entered the transfer portal officially yesterday. From Las Vegas' Desert Pines High School, Savea originally signed with UCLA out of high school before transferring to Arizona.
    He logged 22 tackles and six tackles for loss in 2023 for an Arizona defense coordinated by current Texas linebackers coach Johnny Nansen.
    Texas already has seven commitments from the NCAA transfer portal - three receivers, one tight end, one pass rusher, one linebacker and a defensive back. But the Horns are sorely looking for more interior defensive line prospects to add to the rotation.
    Savea appears to fit that bill.
    Washington, where former Arizona head coach Jedd Fisch moved this off-season, is also expected to be under consideration.
