Heard it, but he’s going to make a lot of visits this spring/summer. ball is in Texas’ court on this one IMO

Friendswood, Texas ... this week. Somewhere else in the state next week. The Southeast Region at times in March, April and May!

Texas has offered a few kids in the DMV the last couple of classes. Very difficult area to break through IMO. Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan and Notre Dame are so strong. The fact that Blake Gideon spent two days there in January is noted, however. Even if you just recruit Good Counsel, Dematha, Gonzaga and St. John's College High ... probably worth the effort. Those three schools, and their conference is where the bulk of talent comes from.

Monday afternoon recruiting nuggets Let’s start the Monday afternoon nuggets with an update on Texas 4-star defensive line commit Brandon Brown (Melbourne, Fla./Eau Gallie). Texas defensive line coach Kenny Baker and the 6-1.5, 285-pound explosive defender spoke on the phone for the first time late last week. According to Brown, the conversation lasted “about ten minutes”. “He was letting me know that he was trying to get his family situated in Austin,” Brown told OnTexasFootball Monday. “He said he wanted to get me out in the spring to visit. He was talking about my twitch and the way I get off the ball - he liked that." The news of Baker and Brown beginning the relationship building process is key with Brown and the California Power 7v7 team headed to Austin March 22-24 for a tournament in the Austin area. Brown will also be in Texas April 5th weekend for a 7v7 tournament. The Texas commitment lists Texas A&M, LSU, Tennessee, Florida, USC and Ohio State as programs that are coming after him with an all in approach. Texas commitment set to visit Calhoun (Ga.) High tight end and 4-star Emaree Winston told OnTexasFootball Monday that he plans to visit for the Spring Game April 20. Winston, 6-2 and 230’ish, received a visit from Steve Sarkisian, Jeff Banks and Tashard Choice in January.

Jared Curtis is also a possibility to visit. But that one is less likely.

Texas A&M is in it.

lol Well Done! One of the DMV schools I have been to over the years in the business ... Their NFL pipeline is pretty strong! Kris Jenkins - Michigan DT Stefon Diggs Kendall Fuller - NFL DB Josh Paschal - NFL DL Keandre Jones - NFL LB Sam Mustipher - NFL OC Dorian O'Daniel - Clemson/NFL LB Blake Countess - Michigan/Auburn/NFL DB Jelani Jenkins - Florida/NFL LB https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_Good_Counsel_High_School_(Maryland)

And Kade Phillips is scheduled to be in the Austin area March 23-24 for 7v7. So a stop by Texas on Friday the 22nd is certainly possible.

Was told be a second source this morning ... the Texas is a big one for Kade Phillips. Will not be surprised if it's not LSU vs. Texas if both make the red carpet push this spring.

Well done sir! lol

Elijah Barnes junior HUDL ... needless to say we are all fans at OTF http://www.hudl.com/v/2Mwmue

Monday Morning Recruiting Nuggets Spring practice for Texas is officially less than a month away. While the Longhorns on the field will be the focus in March and April, the staff is beginning to make a push to get top targets in 2025 back on campus around spring practices and the spring game. The visitor lists are beginning to build with many of the top targets yet to finalize plans or release their spring visit dates. With that said, it’s time to start your Monday morning off with some OnTexasFootball recruiting notes and nuggets. Elijah Barnes and Texas OnTexasFootball continues to feel good about where the Longhorns sit with the Dallas (Texas) Skyline linebacker. Barnes, 6-2 and nearing 230 pounds, has a March 22 visit planned to Ohio State. He’s also looking at March/April visits to Texas, Oklahoma, LSU and possibly Texas A&M. Nebraska and Oregon are potential June OV’s, along with Texas for sure. The Longhorns June visit weekend hasn’t been locked down. Look for the last weekend in June to be that date targeted by the staff. On the Texas side, it’s both Johnny Nansen and Jeff Banks that the DFW area star communicates with. “We haven’t really gotten into that (June OV date) yet,” Barnes told OnTexasFootball Sunday. “I will be back in April.” Barnes is on the track for this spring for Skyline High competing in the 4x100, 4x200 and open 100 meter. Barnes sports a 77-inch wingspan and 9.5 inch hands. Jacorey Watson spring visits The Shadow Creek High 2025 wide receiver has four schools he plans to visit in the spring. “I’m going to get to Texas A&M, Texas and LSU again and probably Missouri,” Watson told OnTexasFootball. Watson, 6-1 and near 180, has been in communication with receiver’s coach Chris Jackson within the last week. “We chopped it up a little bit last week. He wants to see me in the spring (spring practice) at receiver. He’s never really seen me play receiver since I played QB last season, He said he can’t wait to see me play receiver (in person).” Watson is scheduled to be fully released in the next couple of weeks after a foot injury mid-way through the 2023 season, and surgery that followed. He will not participate in track this season, but instead focus on spring football. Watson has one tentative official visit set up in June as well. He’s scheduled to make an OV down the road to Houston June 14-16. April visits scheduled April 6: John Mills, IOL, San Francisco (Calif.) St. Ignatius Attended Texas Junior Day January 20, and will make official visit June 14-16. The April trip will be his fourth since June of 2023. Michigan and Washington are the main competition right now. April 13-14: Major Preston, CB/DB, Hopewell (Va.) IMG Academy Texas offered January 30. Blake Gideon is in consistent communication. Spring Game April 20: Michael Terry, ATH, San Antonio (Texas) Alamo Heights Texas, TCU and Texas Tech the top 3 currently. Rickey Stewart, RB, Tyler (Texas) Chapel Hill Texas leads large over Baylor, SMU and Oklahoma State. Gus Cordova, DL, Austin (Texas) Lake Travis Texas, Texas A&M and Oregon the three talked about the most. View full news

Caden Durham actually wanted OU, but the Sooners somewhat messed that one up. Let's see where Dakorien Moore signs ... long ways until December on a #RecruitThroughTheWhistle prospect.

Agreed. This is a very important spring practice for DeAndre Moore Jr. and Ryan Niblett in regard to their chances to break through in 2024 with Silas Bolden not at Texas until late May.

Agreed. He has long arms for height (78 wingspan at 6-1.5'ish) and range.

Zion is a very good prospect. Can't miss guys are very few for me nationally in a class.
