    Four-star OT visiting Friday
    OnTexasFootball 4-star offensive tackle and Texas offer Josh Petty (Roswell, Ga./Fellowship Christian School) will make his first visit to Texas on Friday. OTF spoke with a member of the Petty family Monday night to get the trip details. This first visit to Texas for the 6-5, 275 pound two sport star (wrestling) will be made without his family. He will make the trip with the California Power 7v7/organization. Should Petty and Texas decide to move things forward after the visit, an official with his parents will be in play. 
    Georgia, Tennessee, Clemson and Auburn are near locks for summer OV’s. 
    Josiah Sharma and Texas 
    OnTexasFootball spoke with a person close to the recruitment of defensive lineman Josiah Sharma (Folsom, Calif./High) Monday night. 
    Sharma, 6-5 and 300 pounds, will make an official visit to Utah June 14-16. He is also scheduled to make an OV to Washington in May. Alabama is a serious contender. A recent Georgia was eye opening for Sharma. 
    Sharma and Texas remain in contact. An official visit hasn’t been set up as of the weekend. The source does believe Sharma wants to get on campus. 
    Kiotti Armstrong and Javar Thomas
    Jasper (Texas) High 4-star tight end Kiotti Armstrong is scheduled to make a visit to LSU this weekend. Headed into the spring visits, Texas A&M is slight leader over Texas according to a source close to the recruitment. LSU is working to truly get in the mix. Armstrong is making an official visit to Texas A&M June 14-16 and Texas June 21-23. Armstrong will make two unofficial visits to Texas A&M in March, and Texas one in April. 
    Aldine (Texas) Nimitz Javar Thomas has Baylor and Houston working on official visits. As of the weekend, Texas has not set up an official visit with the 6-3, 195 pound rangy linebacker. 
    CJ Vogel
    The Longhorns have made the top six cut for St. Ignatius College Preparatory OL John Mills out of San Francisco, California.

    The four-star offensive lineman is expected back in Austin April 6 for the loaded Texas visitors weekend and has an official visit locked in for June 14-16.

    Brandon Brown visit update
    One of the key visitors Friday for the Texas Longhorns is OnTexasFootball 4-star defensive lineman Brandon Brown (Melbourne, Fla./Eau Gallie). 
    Brown, 6-1.5 and 290 pounds, will fly from Melbourne to Houston Friday morning. He will then make a visit to Texas with members of the California Power 7v7 program before a 7v7 tournament in Houston Saturday afternoon and Sunday. 
    The visit news with Brown is not new, but there are key parts of the visit that is news. Brown will be accompanied on the trip by his mother, older sister (senior) and best friend. They will also fly into Houston Friday morning, and drive to Austin with Brandon. It will be the first meeting with the staff and visit to Texas for everyone. 
    Brown is building a relationship with defensive line coach Kenny Baker. They have spoken multiple times in the last 2-3 weeks. Steve Sarkisian, Jeff Banks and Tashard Choice stopped by Eau Gallie High in January prior to Baker being cleared to hit the.road and recruit. 
    The visit is key, obviously, with USC breathing down the neck of Texas. Along with Tennessee, Florida, Miami and a couple of others. He will visit the top schools on his list in March and April ahead of official visits.
    Brown has three June official visits scheduled. He will visit Tennessee June 7-9, Texas June 14-16 and USC June 21-23.
