OnTexasFootball gets the morning started with Coffee & Football on the YouTube channel, and recruiting nuggets right here.
Akylin Dear, RB, Quitman (Miss.) High
OnTexasFootball spoke with the 4-star running back out of The Magnolia State.
Dear, 6-1 and 200 pounds, speaks with Texas running backs coach Tashard Choice every morning.
“He played in the league, so I know he can teach me a lot about the game. We talk every morning."
Dear said he plans to visit Texas either April 6 or April 20. Choice has mentioned both dates, as well as June official visit date possibilities.
Dear and family are on the way to the University of Florida today for a two-day visit.
The explosive and powerful back with contact balance has locked in an official visit to Texas A&M June 14-16. Ole Miss is considered the team to beat by many headed into the spring.
Isaiah Gibson, EDGE, Warner Robins (Ga.) High
OnTexasFootball 4-star Gibson spoke with Texas defensive line coach and area recruiter Kenny Baker earlier this week.
“We are just building the relationship. He said it’s (Texas) a great environment. From everything I’ve heard, Texas is great.”
Gibson, 6-4 and 245 pounds, said Baker talked to him about April 6 or April 20 visit possibilities. Gibson doesn't have a visit locked in, but does want to get out to Austin and take a look at Texas. A June official visit has also been discussed.
Gibson sports 37 offers with Georgia, Clemson and Oregon all in.
Derry Norris Jr., DL, Port Orange (Fla.) Spruce Creek
OnTexasFootball spoke with the 6-3.5, 270 pound athletic defensive line prospect Wednesday night. The Central Florida area prospect said it was both area recruiter Tashard Choice and defensive line coach Kenny Baker that made the offer March 5.
“They said how much they loved my film," Norris told OnTexasFootball. "What I do that impresses them athletically. And they said they like how I run track too."
Norris' first impression of Baker was a strong one.
“Great dude. Everything he was saying was exactly how I was raised. He’s going to get the best out of his players."
Choice and Baker are making a push to get Norris and family on campus April 6. And that visit is possible. April 20 is already spoken for with the Florida State Spring Game.
Norris has four official visits locked in, currently. Georgia Tech May 31-June 2 and N.C. State June 7-9 for sure. After that, the schedule could change. He currently has Minnesota June 14-16 and Purdue June 21-23. With March offers from Miami (Fla.), Texas, Texas A&M and Missouri, the current official visits are in the balance.
