    Following an earlier reported offer by Kenny Baker to 2025 Randle (TX) DL Chace Sims, a pair of additional offers have been extended to out of state targets.
    The first going to Newberry (FL) DL Jarquez Carter. The 6-foot-2 interior defensive lineman holds 31 offers currently and sits just outside of the top 300 national prospects according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.

    The second offer was a joint offer by both Kenny Baker and Tashard Choice. Though sticking in Florida for this one, the Longhorns extend an offer to Port Orange (FL) DL Derry Norris Jr.
    Norris holds 30 offers as well. The three-star prospect has official visits locked in with Georgia Tech May 31, NC State June 7, Minnesota June 15 and Purdue June 20.

    Four-star OT to visit Texas
    The Texas Longhorns continue to make a run an a number of the nation's top prospects. One of those is 4-star Nick Brooks out of John F. Kennedy High in Cedar Rapids, Ia.
    Brooks, 6-7 and 350 pounds, told OnTexasFootball Tuesday that he does have a visit scheduled to Texas this spring. The date of that visit is expected to be April 20 for the Longhorns spring game. 
    Texas offensive line coach Kyle Flood made a stop at JFK High in January, and the two were already in contact prior. The Longhorns offered March 1, 2023. 
    Brooks has 31 offers to date with Iowa considered the favorite by many headed into the spring. That offer list includes SEC programs Alabama, Auburn, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Mississippi State and Tennessee. 
    Brooks played his freshman season at JFK High in Cedar Rapids before moving to the Atlanta area as a sophomore. He played his sophomore year at St. Francis in Alpharetta before moving back to Cedar Rapids prior to his junior year.

    Texas DL coach Kenny Baker has extended an offer 2025 Randle DL Chace Sims.
    Baker stopped by Randle High School in February for one of the first stops as the Texas DL coach. 
    Texas is the 14th offer for the 6-foot-2 and 305-pound defensive lineman. Right now, Sims has just one official visit locked in – Texas Tech on June 21-23.
    So far, Sims holds offers from Texas A&M, LSU, Texas Tech, Kansas State and several others.

    Earlier this morning we took a look at the early enrollees on the offense side of the ball two weeks out from the beginning of spring ball.
    Now that most of us have taken care of lunch and are cruising towards 5:00 p.m. to come rolling around, spend a few minutes reading about the defense.
    ***
    DT Alex January – Duncanville HS (TX)
    The lone early enrollee in the interior of the defensive line comes in with big shoes to fill. Luckily, there has been plenty of positive remarks surrounding Alex January surrounding his approach to the winter conditioning program. January has slimmed down about 15 pounds since his arrival to campus. The staff is working on replacing bad weight with good weight and January has been a sponge when it comes to taking in everything he can from the staff so far.
    EDGE Zina Umeozulu – Allen HS (TX)
    Both edge prospects in this article have received tremendous praise for their body transformations since January 1. Umeozulu has the physical frame of a dream edge prospect and is completely bought into the weights. The key for Umeozulu is to make sure the light stays on when the pads come into play. He has a chance to really impress early on in his career.
    EDGE Colin Simmons – Duncanville HS (TX)
    Simmons is sitting right around 240 pounds at the moment, a 20-pound increase from where he was in Orlando for the Under Armour All American game. The nutritional side of college has been the biggest change for Simmons, but he deserves his flowers for the work in the weight room. At 240 pounds, you can expect to see Simmons get some run with the two-deep in the spring, any additional weight at this part of his career is icing on the cake.
    LB Tyanthony Smith – Jasper HS (TX)
    I have heard Tyanthony Smith's several times in regards to early enrollees with the best attitude towards offseason workouts. There has been progress to Smith's frame in the past two months, but there remains plenty of room to grow. He likely won't be physically ready to take extended snaps in the spring, but the will to work is there and by the time fall camp comes around, you can expect a completely different looking prospect.
    DB Jordon Johnson-Rubell – IMG Academy (FL)
    I am very excited to see JJR in pads for the first time in college. Of anyone in the class, you could make the argument for Johnson-Rubell to be the most intelligent player on the field at any given moment, which is going to be huge with his career starting at nickel. JJR does not have a huge frame, but he does have a good start to his build and will eventually be a player at 5-foot-10. 
    DB Xavier Filsaime – McKinney HS (TX)
    Similarly to what was said about Ryan Wingo earlier today, Xavier Filsaime has been the defensive MVP of offseason workouts so far. He has enough athleticism to play right away. Filsaime is tremendously smooth in and out of breaks plus has the top end speed Texas has desired at the safety spot. Whether it be drills, throwing sessions or conditioning, Filsaime is pushing the incumbents the most of any EE.
    DB Kobe Black – Waco Connally HS (TX)
    Get ready to see some big time physical development from Black over the next few months. He was already a plus-athlete, but now that he has received professional training from Torre Becton's staff, expect to see him continue on this developmental trend.
    DB Wardell Mack – John Ehret HS (LA)
    Mack's name has surfaced a few times early from those close to workouts. Earlier this offseason I reported on the return of swagger coming back to the Texas DB room. Well, Mack has been a good proponent of that movement. He has a great mindset and is ultra competitive which is a key for defensive backs. Mack has impressed early and often since arriving on campus.

    DFW OL's lock in Texas official visit
    Cedar Hill (Texas) High offensive linemen Jordan Coleman (6-5, 362) and Devin Coleman (6-4.5, 320) have locked in an official visit date to Texas. 
    The talented and fast rising duo tells OnTexasFootball they will officially visit Texas June 21-23. 
    The visit being set up comes on the heels of Steve Sarkisian, Tashard Choice and Kyle Flood stopping by the school in January. And a subsequent offer in February to Devin Coleman.
    OTF made a stop at Cedar Hill High last Monday to get the latest on the powerful duo.
    Jordan Coleman was offered by Texas June 11, 2023 after a stellar camp performance. And Devin Coleman was offered by the Longhorns February 19, 2024 after offensive line coach Kyle Flood made an in person evaluation in January. 
    "It (offer) meant a lot," Devin Coleman told OnTexasFootball. "Because my brother, Jordan, already has a Texas offer. I've been telling him I want Texas, I want Texas. He was telling me to be patient and they are going to come. Coach (Kyle) Flood told me to be patient. When it came, I was real excited. Jordan had been in my ear saying it was going to come, be patient and keep working hard." 
    Coleman picked up nine offers since January. Due in large part to playing a lot of snaps on the offensive line in 2023, which changed the trajectory of his recruitment. That 2024 offer list includes Texas, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Colorado, Duke, Baylor and SMU. He received summer offers from Oklahoma and Houston.  
    Jordan and Devin Coleman attended Texas Junior Day January 20.
