Four-star Josiah Sharma flips to Texas

Galveston (Texas) Ball 4-star+ safety Jonah Williams and parents visited Texas today. Williams spent a lot of time with Steve Sarkisian, Blake Gideon and the defensive staff. Of course, baseball is part of the equation with the Williams recruitment. Williams, 6-3 and 205 pounds, was not able to meet with the Jim Schlossnagle or the staff in person today as the staff is out of town. He did have a FaceTime call with Schloss and staff members today. Williams will head to LSU tomorrow ahead of an August 14 decision. Texas put their best foot forward, and believes they are in contention. Where Texas truly sits, they don’t yet have a feel for inside the facility.

For me, unless he makes an academic 1,2 & 3rd type decision … LSU will be tough. Frank Wilson and Bo Davis on that one at St. Augustine High. He could commit somewhere else early, and I would still maintain that unless his decision is predominately academic based

Apparently Vernon Broughton’s punch in drills is very impressive Jaray Bledsoe’s first step consistency has improved

Checked in at 6-3.25 and 244 pounds today on the visit

Visitors watching Texas team workout right now

John Turntine III about 30 mins away. He's with his mom.

Are those Goodr's?

Klein High 2026 IOL Nicolas Robertson is scheduled to arrive in Austin at 1:40'ish

JJ Hanne is at Texas A&M right now. Will be at Texas at 9am Friday morning. Goes to Oregon from Texas after.

Have not been notified if he's in Austin.

2026 WR Jordan Clay already on campus http://www.hudl.com/video/3/17957673/63274f6432dcf40428e902b6

Can't say that 100%

Myron Charles was scheduled to come in today ... OTF can now say. OTF was told a little while ago that he is/has had to reschedule that unofficial visit.

Jonah Williams is more a legit baseball prospect. He's ranked as the top high school outfielder in the 2025 cycle by some ... Duce wasn't in that area code

OTF spoke with Richmond (Texas) Randle 4-star DL and Texas A&M commit Chace Sims Wednesday. He will. e at Texas A&M this weekend ... he also said his recruitment remains open. A name I've included on the last couple of 2025 recruiting stories for reason.

Texas isn't playing Duck, Duck, Goose today ... I hope!

Couple of very talented guys we are waiting to see if they show up.

Family member of Jonah Williams told OTF around 5am that it’s Texas today and LSU Friday.

OnTexasFootball getting the Thursday recruiting thread going early. The event begins around 1pm officially, but prospects will be on campus prior. The Pool Party begins around 4 pm

I will get back to you on this Thursday for sure!
