    OnTexasFootball exchanged messages with San Antonio (Texas) Alamo Heights ATH Michael Terry III this afternoon. 
    Terry, 6-2.5 and 218 pounds with 10.8 100 meters speed, says he's locked in for the Texas Spring Game April 20. At that time, he will have a conversation with Steve Sarkisian and staff members in regard to a June official visit date.
    Terry's first official visit will be to Nebraska the last weekend in April. Texas A&M, Texas Tech, TCU, Texas and Oregon are possibilities for official visits. 
    A note on a Indiana DT transfer Philip Blidi
    OnTexasFootball exchanged messages with Indiana transfer DL Philip Blidi earlier today. The 6-3, 295 pound defensive tackle that began his career at Texas Tech prior to transferring to Indiana will be in Austin this weekend visiting family. As of earlier today, he didn't have anything set up to visit Texas or see the staff. 
    LSU, TCU, Texas A&M and Auburn are among the offers since hitting the portal as a graduate transfer nine days ago.

    Four-star out of state OL locks in Texas official visit
    The January stop at John F. Kennedy High in Cedar Rapids, Ia. by Texas offensive line coach Kyle Flood was clearly a success.
    Just days after Nick Brooks told OnTexasFootball that he was planning two visits to Texas, he has locked in an official visit.
    Brooks, 6-7 and 345 pounds, will make his first even visit to Texas April 20. And now he will follow up with an official visit June 14-16. 
    Brooks is considered one of the cream of the crop offensive line prospects in the 2025 cycle. He committed to Iowa the in early September of 2023 before backing off that pledge November 7. At the time, Georgia was considered the main competition. And while the Bulldogs remain the in the top 2 with Iowa, Texas is officially in the race. 
    Brooks told OnTexasFootball  March 19 that he was planning two visits to Texas
    "I'm going to visit Texas in April," Brooks told OTF March 19. That visit remains scheduled for the Spring Game April 20. "I have an official visit scheduled to Texas, but I think I have to change it to another date."
    Texas was originally looking to lock in the June 21-23 visit weekend, but that is when Brooks is scheduled to be at Iowa. With Georgia scheduled for May 31-June 2, that left June 14-16 as the likely date for the Texas official visit, which is now locked in. 
    The one-time Iowa pledge currently sports 31 offers. The offer list includes SEC teams Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, LSU, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Mississippi State and South Carolina.

    Four-star EDGE locks in Texas official visit
    Four-star EDGE Smith Orogbo (Alief, Texas/Hastings) told OnTexasFootball Tuesday morning that he has locked in an official visit to Texas. 
    Orogbo, 6-5 and 218, will officially visit the Longhorns June 14-16. That is the same weekend that EDGE commitment Lance Jackson (Texarkana, Texas/Pleasant Grove) and target Hayden Lowe (Westlake Village, Calif./Oaks Christian) will make official visits to Texas. 
    The official visit will be the second time the Houston area explosive EDGE rush prospect will be on campus. He's also scheduled to make an unofficial visit April 6. 
    Orogbo will also make an official visit to SMU in Mid-May with trips to USC, Oregon and Oklahoma State also on the table. 
    Texas offered Orogbo January 22 when area recruiter Jeff Banks made a stop at Hastings High. Since that time, the long-armed and twitchy prospect has been in contact with Steve Sarkisian, Pete Kwiatkowski and Jeff Banks.

    Tuesday morning recruiting nuggets
    The Texas Longhorns continue to work to get top targets on campus in the 2025 cycle. And there is more news on that front Tuesday. 
    Malik Autry, DL, Opelika (Ala.) High
    The Auburn pledge and OnTexasFootball 4-star continues to talk with Steve Sarkisian and Kenny Baker about visit dates. One of those in the works is April 6, and that date is close to being locked in. There is also discussions about an official visit. Autry, 6-5 and 320, already has a full June OV schedule and Auburn isn't even set yet. Autry is scheduled to visit UCF May 31-June 2, USC June 7-9, Florida June 14-16 and Oregon June 21-23. Of course, that visit scheduled could get shuffled. 
    Adonyss Currie, CB, Lancaster (Calif.) Quartz Hill
    The OnTexasFootball 4-star and very high end cornerback prospect is speaking with Texas early this week with the hope out of Austin to get an official visit date locked in. Currie, 6-2 and 165 pounds, has April official visits scheduled to Texas A&M and Nebraska. He will flow up with OV's to Washington May 31-June 2, Miami June 7-9 and Utah June 14-16. That leaves Texas working on the June 21-23 weekend, unless there is scheduling change to open up June 14-16.
    Additional notes
    Greensboro (Ga.) Greene County 4-star DL Kevin Wynn will be a prospect Texas continues to recruit despite Texas not getting a spring unofficial, as of today. Florida State, Alabama and Georgia are considered the top three with FSU and Bama ahead of UGA. 
    OnTexasFootball expects June 21-23 to be the official visit date of 4-star running back Jordon Davison. We will wait for the Mater Dei standout to announce his dates before making it official. Texas is in a good spot in the battle against Ohio State, Oregon and Alabama. 
    OTF is also monitoring the recruitment of Lancaster (Texas) High 4-star wide receiver Emmanuel Choice. The Longhorns remain in contact with Choice. Choice, 6-5 and 180, has OV's scheduled to Nebraska, USC, Missouri, TCU and Oklahoma. In a cycle of tremendous wide receivers in Texas and nationally, Choice is going to be slept on - and shouldn't be.
