Barnes will likely be back on campus in Austin in March. He's scheduled to visit Ohio State in March as well. Oregon is a place he wants to see as well. Then it will be June OV's and a decision prior to senior season.

Four-star linebacker target Elijah "Bo" Barnes talks Texas Longhorns Dallas, Texas - One of the top defensive targets on the board for the Texas Longhorns in the 2025 cycle is Dallas (Texas) Skyline High linebacker Elijah "Bo" Barnes. Barnes, 6-2.5 and nearing 230 pounds, was offered by Texas May 10, 2023. Since that time, the DFW area star has been on campus multiple times with the last visit January 20 for Junior Day. OnTexasFootball took in Skyline High track practice Monday and caught up with Barnes after the workout. "Texas is one of those top schools for me," Barnes told OnTexasFootball Monday. "They will be in my top 10, I will say that. Texas has been recruiting me hard for the last year and a half. Texas is one of those up and coming schools. I feel like they will go for a National Championship run again this year coming up. Texas is a great school in general. Some of my coaches went through Texas, you know. They tell me great things." Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian had a call with Barnes last night around 6:30 p.m. The messages heading into that call have been about the person, player and fit in the Longhorns' defense. "He just says he wants me. And things like that. They see me as a great fit in their defense. A leader in their defense. A vocal leader in their defense. He was telling me stuff like that. And that I'm a great guy, a great athlete and the sky's the limit." New Co-DC and linebackers coach Johnny Nansen has made a strong impression early in just a few conversations. "Coach (Johnny) Nansen, I love Coach Nansen. He's a great guy in general. Down to earth. He knows the game of football. And I do feel like if I go to Texas, he can pour a lot into me. In an NFL type play style. He can teach me formation, down and distance and the personnel's and stuff like that." Barnes believes Texas is ready for the move to the SEC, and in part because of the culture created by Sarkisian and staff. "It's made a big jump (with prospects). How they did this year. I know they are going to excel this coming season. Texas is going to be fine. They have a lot of great athletes that committed and signed that are there right now. I feel like Texas is one of those schools to be talked about 20 years from now. A great coaching staff they have, a great team they have and a great brotherhood they have there. A great bond. Just to be around everybody there." Barnes runs on the 4x100 and 4x200 meter relay teams for the Raiders. He will also run the open 100 meters this spring with a goal of 11.1, which would be ultra impressive at 225-230 pounds. View full news

Triplets Jordan and Devin Coleman talk Texas Longhorns Cedar Hill, Texas - The Cedar Hill Longhorns have one of the true recruiting rarities. Junior's Isaiah Coleman (6-1.5, 275), Devin Coleman (6-4.5, 320) and Jordan Coleman (6-5, 362) are triplets. And all three have division one offers with Isaiah Coleman having been offered by UTSA and Texas Tech. Jordan Coleman was offered by Texas June 11, 2023 after a stellar camp performance. And Devin Coleman was offered by the Longhorns February 19, 2024 after offensive line coach Kyle Flood made an in person evaluation in January. On Monday, OnTexasFootball stopped by Cedar Hill High to catch up with a the "large humans", which includes the most recent Texas offensive line offer. For Devin Coleman, the offer was very meaningful. "It meant a lot," Devin Coleman told OnTexasFootball. "Because my brother, Jordan, already has a Texas offer. I've been telling him I want Texas, I want Texas. He was telling me to be patient and they are going to come. Coach (Kyle) Flood told me to be patient. When it came, I was real excited. Jordan had been in my ear saying it was going to come, be patient and keep working hard." Coleman picked up nine offers since January. Due in large part to playing a lot of snaps on the offensive line in 2023, which changed the trajectory of his recruitment. That 2024 offer list includes Texas, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Colorado, Duke, Baylor and SMU. He received summer offers from Oklahoma and Houston. Coleman attended Texas Junior Day January 20, and plans to get back this spring. "I want to go to Ole Miss, Texas, Oklahoma, go out to Texas Tech. That's the plan." Jordan Coleman on Texas "Large human" Jordan Coleman has seen his recruitment take off since the summer of 2023. He enters the spring with 17 offers, including six SEC programs. January and February have been fruitful in particular, adding seven offers. "The recruiting process is going good," Coleman told OTF Monday. "I just racked up a couple of offers from Ole Miss, Duke, Mississippi State and a whole bunch of places. I'm just planning some official visits and stuff like that." While Coleman is yet to lock in dates for the spring or June official visits, he knows a few places he wants to see in person. "I know we are going to go to Baylor, Texas, OU and we want to go to Colorado and Ole Miss. And I want to go to Tennessee." Coleman has visited Texas on a trio of occasions, starting with the day he was offered. "The first time I went to Texas was at the camp (June 11, 2023). We had went in the indoor and outdoors, and I went undefeated (1 on 1 reps). I worked at guard and tackle, and I went undefeated. I talked to Coach (Flood),and he was telling that I was doing good in rills. And that's when he gave me the offer." It's safe to say the Longhorns are in a good position headed into the spring. "I love Texas. Texas, Hook'em man. Coach Hutch (Marcus Hutchins) is always talking about Texas. He shines a good light on Texas, and I see what he's talking about." Coleman could play either tackle or guard at the next level with guard projecting the highest upside. View full news

Two DFW area coaches that I spoke with yesterday on the road mentioned Alex January as a player that was as good as they faced last season (2023). One head coach predicted an NFL future for Alex.

Ankle flexion, COD movement skills, etc... those guys are more reactive quick athletes
