Friday Morning Recruiting Nuggets
OnTexasFootball gets your Friday morning started with some recruiting nuggets.
Kaliq Lockett, WR, Sachse (Texas) High
The OnTexasFootball 4-star wide receiver prospect is expected to make a visit to Texas this spring. He will make that visit with family members.
OnTexasFootball spoke with a source close to the recruitment Thursday. USC, LSU, Texas, Ohio State, Michigan and TCU were the schools mention most. Locket’s father is from Los Angeles, and his mother is from Louisiana.
The Texas school visit was very impressive for Lockett. Steve Sarkisian left zero doubt that the 6-1, 180 pound smooth moving wide receiver is wanted by the Longhorns.
OnTexasFootball believes the Longhorns have a legitimate shot in the race for Lockett, as of Thursday. That is despite Lockett not attending Junior Day January 20. A June official visit is also expected, as of Thursday.
One more note on wide receiver recruiting
OnTexasFootball doesn’t expect Texas to make a push for Garden State 4-star Quincy Porter (Oradell, N.J./Bergen Catholic).
If Texas signs an out of state receiver in the 2025 cycle, the Southeast Region or Southern California is where that would come from. And there is a chance that Texas only signs in state WR’s in this cycle because the crop is ultra talented inside the state line.
A new name to know
The Texas Longhorns extended an offer to Cedar Hill (Texas) High 2025 IOL Jordan Coleman November 3 of 2023. Texas offensive line coach Kyle Flood has been in contact since that time.
OnTexasFootball believes the Longhorns could extend an offer to twin brother and IOL Devin Coleman (Cedar Hill, Texas/High) in the near future. Coleman, 6-4 and 315’ish, caught the eye of Texas and a number of others in January when coaching staffs stopped by the DFW 6A school. January offers for Devin Coleman were made by Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Colorado, Duke, Baylor, SMU, Tulsa and UTEP. Coleman is officially on offer watch.
Jordan and Devin Coleman attended Texas Junior Day January 20.
April 6 could be a big visit day
OnTexasFootball 4-star IOL John Mills (San Francisco, Calif./St. Ignatius) will make an official visit to Texas June 14-16. Mills, 6-6, 325 pounds, is also expected to make an unofficial visit in the spring. April 6 is the date expected. The Longhorns continue to make a big push for Mills.
OnTexasFootball 5-star OT Michael Fasusi (Lewisville, Texas/High) is also expected to make a one day visit this spring with his family. April 6 could be that date as well. #RecruitThroughTheWhistle
