40 Yard Dashes taking place now for the defensive linemen, Updates to come.

This is who Kelvin Banks said was the most difficult edge rusher he has faced in his career.

You will see anything in the 1.6's as a good time. For Sweat, anything below 1.75 would be a plus. Murphy will probably see a 1.65 time.

What a quote from Byron Murphy here!

Both Niblack and Sanders exited college at 230+ pounds, plus spent time in the trenches at times. Neither is the case so far for Terry who spends most of his snaps in the backfield at QB/RB.

The hold up with Texas and Terry that I see is he does not fit the traditional mold of WRs that Texas has recruited since Sarkisian has arrived – Aaron Butler, Johntay Cook, Ryan Niblett, Freddie Dubose and even the portal adds. Terry is tremendous with the ball in his hands. My question is – does the burst and acceleration line up with what Texas has pursued in the past? Plus, he mentioned that Chris Jackson has yet to reach out consistently.

I was leaning that way as well. The earlier the OV is locked in, the more I believe the staff is pushing. That changes case to case obviously, but there is a reason why they were pushed to get one set so early.

I love him as a long-term WR.

With you all the way

Terry's Hudl: http://www.hudl.com/video/3/16256306/652895b3ab9ce801ec94e335

Terry is a tremendous kid. Everyone I spoke to at Alamo Heights raved about his character and work ethic. I had a great time chatting with him as well after workouts. Really impressive all around kid.

Running shouldn’t be this easy at 6-3 and 212 pounds. Incredible athlete. RPReplay_Final1709217826.mov

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. View full news

This is where I’m leaning with Texas’ approach - probably best suited as a WR, though he doesn’t fit the mold we have seen Texas pursue at the WR position under Sarkisian.

Real quick on the recruiting front of Alamo Heights 2025 ATH Michael Terry III: Majority of schools are split at wide receiver and running back for where he fits in at the next level. Texas is still even trying to decipher what is the best fit for him. The message Terry is receiving most from schools is "get to campus and we will figure it out from there." New programs in this recruitment include Oregon, TCU, Texas A&M and Nebraska. Texas is firmly in the mix as well. Tashard Choice actually extended the first offer Michael Terry III received when he was in 8th grade. Choice offered when he was still at Georgia Tech. When I get back home, I will have a more detailed outlook on the recruitment posted up on the site. Biggest takeaway here is that things are pretty open going into the spring – much more so than coming out of the winter visit to Texas. View full news
