Gerry Hamilton

He’s a take, but definitely a long shot/wild card right now

Agree with this 100% Have to get the QB to the ground in the SEC … way too much speed at skill spots

American Heritage in Plantation … had a lot of dudes come through … Pat Surtain Jr. Tyson Campbell Brian Burns Marco Wilson Sony Michel etc… A number of MLB players in the last two decades

It just means more!

Two visits to Texas for 4-star out of state OT When Texas offensive line coach Kyle Flood stopped by John F. Kennedy High in Cedar Rapids, Ia. in January it went without any fanfare. That's because the name Nick Brooks was just a very talented prospect in the 2025 class that Texas offered March 1, 2023. Brooks, 6-7 and 345 pounds, had not been on campus and was seen as a true long shot. Brooks then committed to Iowa the in early September before backing off that pledge November 7. At the time, Georgia was considered the main competition. And while the Bulldogs remain the in the top 2 with Iowa, Texas has officially entered the race. Brooks told OnTexasFootball Tuesday afternoon that he has two visits planned to Texas. "I'm going to visit Texas in April," Brooks told OTF. That visit is scheduled for the Spring Game April 20. That will be the first of two visits with an official visit in June very likely. "I have an official visit scheduled to Texas, but I think I have to change it to another date." Texas was looking to lock in the June 21-23 visit weekend, but that is when Brooks is scheduled to be at Iowa. With Georgia scheduled for May 31-June 2, that leaves June 14-16 as the likely date for the Texas official visit. The one-time Iowa pledge currently sports 31 offers. The offer list includes SEC teams Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, LSU, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Mississippi State and South Carolina. View full news

Matai Tagoa'i should be on campus with California Power Friday. Assuming all kids make each 7v7 tourney.

Texas is so NCAA Tournament focused right now ... any player that seeks a quick decision won't be in play. They will truly dive in after the season concludes... but Texas is getting a lot of calls. That I can say.

100%

They are way away on far end of the field ... but Alex looks more athletic moving around than ever! He's going to be a good player. Sark mentioned him in post practice PC

That's a great question! I don't have that answer. I think he wants to play football ... the summer in baseball will be key in answering that question IMO. If he shows command, and consistently hits 95-97 with his frame, fluidity/athleticism etc... he's very projectable for big $$$ area draft in MLB IMO

Looks good physically. Didn't see enough on him today to comment.

Will have something Wednesday on the Friday expected visitors ... California Power 7v7 will have the majority of visitors. Brandon Brown, Josh Petty, Linkon Cure, etc.. It's already changed a little. The 7v7 team Nightrydas are not coming into Austin Friday (so no Javar Thomas, PA Memorial 2026 LB, etc..). The 2026 LB Kosi Okpala is not playing 7v7 this weekend with them, and instead coming to Austin for a visit/spring practice with his family.

Spring Practice No. 1 Observations Some random notes and thoughts from the 30 minute media viewing window... 1. The talent level at Texas is that of a program with a consistent chance to be a contender. A lot of likely and potential future NFL draft picks on the field today, spread in all classes. 2. Ryan Wingo is a dude. That's all. The rest will play out. 3. Sarkisian really praised Trey Moore in post practice presser. More isn't the guy that wows physically on first look, but he has compact twitch and power in his frame. Much stronger in lower body than a year ago playing at UTSA. 4. Just good to see Colton Vasek on the field again. Looks good physically. Tough for a young guy that was turning some heads early on to be shut down for nearly an entire year. 5. Jaray Bledsoe's 293-295 pounds is legit. Sark mentioned him after practice in PC. 6. Quinn Ewers looks like a stronger guy. Behind the neck, in the legs. Confident third year starting QB was his look throwing the ball today. 7. Terrance Brooks is really 209 pounds, as listed. Very thick lower body for a corner. He's just about physically tapped out. 8. Malik Muhammad looks like streamlined second year corner. Very, very good natural build for a corner. He's the guy that is showing Kobe Black the ropes. 9. Christian Clark has the lower body of an NFL vet at the RB position. That dude is a very powerfully put together 5-11, 210 10. Cedric Baxter Jr. is the same weight as last year - 218. But it's a different 218 now. More cut in upper body, and looks stronger on a longer RB frame. 11. Malik Agbo was third team left guard. Obviously, the jumbo package TE. 12. Brandon Baker was third team RT ... Daniel Cruz third team center. 13. Kelvin Banks looks like a 1st or 2nd team All-American. 14. Trevor Goosby 2nd at LT with Jaydon Chatman 3rd. 15. If Amari Niblack doesn't run low 4.5 at the NFL Combine I will be surprised. 16. Jelani McDonald is among the best looking pound for pound athletes in the program, and he's a safety. Looks tremendous physically, especially at that spot. 17. Savion Red may be closer to 230 than 240, but he's in the area code. 18. Trey Owens showed quick feet than one would think. Quicker moving feet vs. Maalik Murphy. 19. Payton Kirkland on the field going through full workout at 4th team left guard. 20. Freddie Dubose was not going through full workout. 21. Sydir Mitchell is 370-372. 22. Jahdae Barron is carrying very good weight. 23. Jordan Washington is a keeper at TE. All reported measeurables are legit. And he has the flexibility to come off a three-point stance with winning leverage. 24. T'Vondre Sweat and Johnathan Brooks were on hand. NIL good! 25. DJ Campbell definitely looks 10-12 pounds lighter. Neto Umeozulu and DJ Campbell the quickest/most explosive movers at guard. 26. I stand by what I have said on the OnTexasFootball YouTube channel... Texas should be a batter team in 2024. Does that mean more W's with the move to the SEC? Can't say that. But a spring portal addition or two away from solidifying the Horns as a top 4 team preseason.

Tuesday morning recruiting notes 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.

Georgia, Tennessee, Clemson and Auburn are near locks for summer OV’s.

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.

Talented 2026 QB. The Texas 2026 QB offers are: Troy Huhn and Jared Curtis Will Griffin out of Tampa Jesuit is coming back for a second visit April 13.

Will be a key visit ... a couple of schools in pursuit "predict" he eventually becomes a non-committed prospect making OV's to Tenn, Texas, USC, maybe Florida, and a couple of others. We shall see.

They are. The family and Brandon are flying into Houston and then driving to Austin. The Cali Power 7v7 team is flying into to Houston, and taking a bus to Austin for a visit too.

Lol. TBD!
