    As y'all know, yesterday I took a quick trip to San Antonio to catch up with the country's top athlete – 2025 Alamo Heights ATH Michael Terry III.
    I dropped some quick tidbits yesterday on the trip, but wanted to go more in-depth from our conversation today. Terry is up to 19 offers now in his recruitment and the Longhorns are squarely in the fold after offering officially during the January 20 Junior Day.
    "It is a pretty fun process," Terry said of his recruitment. "Getting to meet all of the new coaches and seeing the facilities of where I could be playing. It is really cool."
    The nation's top athlete has been recruited all over the place on the offensive side of the ball. Many programs see him as a do-it-all catalyst, while others envision the 6-foot-3 playmaker as a wide receiver and others at running back. Texas has yet to pick a side on the argument and instead are wanting to get Terry to campus again before truly siding with a specific position.
    Luckily for the Longhorns, offering Terry on the Junior Day left a positive impression.
    "That was a pretty cool experience," Terry said. "We went to Coach Sark's office and we all talked together. It was a pretty cool experience getting (the offer) from him."
    Communication with the Texas staff bounces back and forth from Steve Sarkisian to Tashard Choice – it is worth mentioning that Tashard Choice was the first coach to extend an offer to Terry during his 8th grade season. Choice was still at Georgia Tech at the time.
    As for spring visits, Terry has the Nebraska spring game on April 27 circled as a visit he is hoping to get out to. Aside from that, no other trips have been locked in just yet.
    On the Texas Junior Day, Terry mentioned an unofficial top three of Texas, TCU and Texas Tech. Since then, other schools that have made a solid impression include Oregon, Nebraska and Texas A&M.
    Texas is hanging around this recruitment right now, though I would throw caution anyone into pencilling Terry into the class at the moment. I believe it is a pretty open recruitment, though the staffs that are able to pitch position specifics and usage plans will have an upper hand in my eyes.
    As we move forward, I would focus on Texas, TCU, Texas A&M out of the in-state schools. We will see if Terry gets up to Oregon, and I will follow up with how the Nebraska trip went.

    Four-star DL commit locks in Texas official visit 
    Melbourne (Fla.) Eau Gallie 4-star defensive tackle Brandon Brown has three official visits locked in, and one of them is to Texas.
    The Texas verbal and 6-2, 285 pound uber explosive defensive tackle told OnTexasFootball Wednesday night that he will make an official visit to Texas June 10-12. 
    "My visit to Texas is June 10, we get there. And I think we leave on the 12th," Brown told OTF.
    Brown also remains scheduled to make an unofficial visit to Texas march 22 around a weekend 7v7 tournament in the Austin area. 
    That visit to Texas will come on the heels of an official visit to Tennessee June 7-9. Brown will also make an official visit to USC June 21-23. 
    The Sunshine State 4-star is also looking at official visits to Florida, Miami and possibly either Penn State or LSU. 
    Brown committed to Texas December 19 over Tennessee, Florida, Miami, Ohio State, Penn State, Oklahoma and USC. 
    Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian, area recruiter Tashard Choice and Jeff Banks stopped by Eau Gallie High January 29 to talk with Brown. 
    Brown put up monster stats as a junior for Eau Gallie High. He totaled 65 tackles, 24 tackles for loss and four stats. He enters his senior season with 155 tackles, 48 tackles for loss and 14.5 sacks in 32 games over three years.

    Hitchcock (Texas) High speedy playmaker Kelshaun Johnson will make his official visit to Texas June 14-16.
    Johnson, 5-11 and 165 pounds with 4.4 speed, will begin the official visit process the last weekend in May with a trip to Penn State. He will follow up the trip to Happy Valley with an official visit to Texas Tech June 7-9. 
    Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian, wide receivers coach Chris Jackson and area recruiter Blake Gideon all made stops at Hitchcock High in January. The Longhorns are considered the favorite headed into the spring. 
    Texas A&M is also in the mix for an official visit, as well as USC. Programs such as Kansas, Ole Miss and others are also in pursuit.
