DFW linebacker visiting April 11 The Texas Longhorns will have at least one visitor April 11. Fort Worth (Texas) North Crowley 2025 linebacker Jonathan Cunningham tells OnTexasFootball that he is scheduled to visit April 11. Texas offered the 6-2.5, 190 pound rangy and instinctive linebacker February 1. That was a few days after Co-DC and linebackers coach Johnny Nansen stopped by North Crowley. Steve Sarkisian and Tashard Choice Cunningham has one official visit scheduled, TCU May 3-5. He has visited both TCU and SMU in recent weeks. The North Crowley defender heads into the spring with 14 offers. The Power 5 offers are TCU, Texas, SMU, Arkansas, Utah, Oklahoma State, Miami, Arizona State, Houston and Kansas.

Tuesday Morning Recruiting Nuggets The Texas Staff offered Ruston (La.) High 2025 fast rising cornerback Aidan Anding March 28. And Steve Sarkisian and Terry Joseph are wasting little time working to get the 5-11, 165 pound three-sport budding star on campus. Sarkisian had his first phone conversation with Anding Monday evening after Joseph made the call to offer March 28. A visit to Texas is in the works this month. OnTexasFootball spoke with Anding Friday when en route to Miami. "He "Terry Joseph" just called and offered," Anding said Friday. "I wasn't expecting it. He said he watched my film, and liked what he saw. I'm going to go down there for a visit for sure." Anding's performance at Under Armour Camp Dallas accelerated the process for Texas. Anding, who has a best long jump of 22'6" this spring, ran a 4.59 laser forty and 4.12 laser shuttle at the March 10 camp. The offer list is up to 10, including Miami, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Texas, TCU, Georgia Tech and Baylor. Anding visited Miami last weekend, and was on campus at Arkansas in March and is scheduled to be back on campus today. Note on another cornerback Missouri City (Texas) Marshall cornerback Caleb Chester told OnTexasFootball Monday night he will visit Texas unofficially April 13. Chester, 5-11 and 165, was on campus at Texas A&M last weekend and is scheduled to be at Arkansas this weekend. Chester's official visit schedule consists of Texas June 7-9, Texas A&M June 14-16 and Arkansas June 21-23. The Aggies are in the lead spot heading into the next two spring visits. Sark talks to top defensive line targets Auburn 4-star defensive line pledge Malik Autry (Opelika, Ala./High) is scheduled to be on campus in Austin April 6. Steve Sarkisian was scheduled to speak with the 6-5, 320 pound physical and athletic defensive lineman Monday night. Texas defensive line coach Kenny Baker has had a number of positive conversations with Autry and family of late. An official visit is also in play for Texas. Autry was on campus at Florida over the weekend, and is scheduled to officially visit June 14-16. USC and Oregon also have June OV's on the books. Of course, Autry lives within 30 minutes of the Auburn campus. Sarkisian was also scheduled to speak with Folsom (Calif.) High 4-star defensive tackle Josiah Sharma Monday night. Sharma, 6-3.5 and 323 pounds, is considered a battle between Texas and Alabama with Washington, Utah, Oklahoma and Oregon in the mix. A June 14-16 OV to Texas is expected. Two more notes Olney (Md.) Good Counsel 4-star safety Faheem Delane told OnTexasFootball that he is no longer scheduled to visit Texas April 13. That news along with IMG Academy safety Major Preston telling OnTexasFootball the same Monday morning is noteworthy as to how the staff feels about a safety target or two right now. One of the top 2026 prospects scheduled to be on campus April 13 is Baton Rouge (La.) Catholic 4-star safety Blaine Bradford. Bradford, ranked in the top 25 in the class nationally, has LSU, Texas and Notre Dame standing out early on. Terry Joseph is running point in the recruitment, and has build a solid relationship thus far. Of course, Texas and Notre Dame will have to beat the LSU combo of Corey Raymond and Frank Wilson to win out.
