For sure. And Ridge Point will have 3-5 guys every year that are very talented … where majority of NFL kids will go through

Kade’s long jump is eye opening for a junior that hasn’t really even begun to fill out physically

Kade Phillips nugget too … 6-1.5 with an 80 inch wingspan and 10.25 inch hands

Wild times. Jacoby had not been going to workouts since the spring semester started. No team meetings either

I’m at … DK Moore Jaime Ffrench Kelshaun Johnson Kaliq Lockett

Texas has one committed in Lance Jackson Shanklin, Kamauryn Morgan and Nick Townsend (jumbo athlete) are three Texas really likes

Damien Shanklin junior HUDL: http://www.hudl.com/video/3/15752741/6557af026e8bcb0a8897e029

Indianapolis (In.) Warren Central 4-star EDGE in the 2025 cycle Damien Shanklin confirmed with OnTexasFootball Friday that he has an official visit scheduled to Texas June 21-23. Michigan, Texas, Tennessee Notre Dame and Ohio State have emerged as the schools at the top of the list for the 6-4, 230 pound pass rusher. He will make visits to all five, both in the spring and summer OV's. Notre Dame is expected to receiver a spring unofficial and June official visit. Texas offered Shanklin in September of 2023. OTF will have more on Shanklin this weekend.

OV’s can begin on April 1 of Junior Year

OnTexasFootball caught up with 4-star DL Zion Williams this afternoon. Texas DL coach Kenny Baker spoke with Zion Williams Thursday. Nothing major of note, other than continued relationship building, and Williams and his mom are looking at dates he could visit Texas this spring. Spring Game is possible. Same goes for Texas A&M. Williams will make an unofficial visit to LSU March 9. He also has a visit set up to TCU May 3-5. That will be an official visit.

In one picture is ... No. 2 Damien McDaniel - UNLV signee as DB No. 4 Bryce Dorsey - Memphis signee as DB No. 11 Kelshaun Johnson That's your 3A backcourt ... McDaniel is one of the very best on ball defenders I have seen in high school in many years.

The 3A defending state champ’s Hitchcock High smashed Anahuac 82-30 in a second round game last night … could have been a hundred. That’s what four D1 football players and a 6-5 DI level junior G/W will do in a 3A basketball if they are motivated.

Kelshaun Johnson pics from Hitchcock High basketball playoff game last night …

LSU offered as a corner. Texas A&M and Texas have said corner, but also like his versatility. IMO, think safety long term. Long armed, rangy safety prospect with ball skills. His frame hasn't even truly begun to ascend.

Kade Phillips junior HUDL: Defense... http://www.hudl.com/v/2N067c Offense ... http://www.hudl.com/v/2Mx5Ci

Four-star scheduled to talk to Steve Sarkisian Monday Missouri City, Texas - One of the most recent offers by the Texas Longhorns in the 2025 cycle is scheduled to talk to Steve Sarkisian Monday. Hightower (Texas) High defensive back Kade Phillips was offered by safeties coach and area recruiter Blake Gideon Sunday. It was an offer Phillips and family had been waiting on for a few weeks. "The Texas offer meant a lot to me," Phillips told OnTexasFootball. "Texas is a big school, big culture and it meant a lot. It felt great. Coach Gideon came to see me multiple times. He came to track practice, came by the field house multiple times just to talk. Texas is going to be up there. Up there." Now that the Longhorns have offered the 6-1, 178 pound versatile defensive back with an 80 inch wingspan and 10 inch hands, Phillips and Sarkisian are scheduled to begin their relationship developing part of the process. "I'm talking to the staff every day. We set up a phone call Coach Sark on Monday. We are going to get on the phone and chop it up. Coach Gideon wants me to get on the phone with him (Sark), and just begin to build that relationship." Phillips attended Texas Junior day January 20. He has been on campus multiple times in the last year, including a game visit in 2023. Texas A&M and LSU the main competition Phillips is the younger brother of former Texas A&M linebacker signee Kenneth Phillips, who had his career cut short after a devastating knee injury his senior season. He remains a student at Texas A&M. Kade Phillips was back on campus in College Station January 27 for Junior Day. "Coach (Mike) Elko just wants everybody to be part of the recruitment. Not just your position coach, but all of the coaches. He wants it to be one big family. They offered me at corner, but like my versatility. Wherever the team needs me is what they said." Phillips will make his first ever trip to LSU this spring. It's a visit that will be very key in the recruitment. "I'm in contact with Coach (Corey) Raymond every day. He's just checking in on me, seeing how I'm doing. I just know it's LSU. Big facility, big program. It will be a big visit fore me when I go down there." Arkansas, Oregon, Baylor and Kansas as schools also making runs right now. Phillips plans to commit either late in the spring, or after June official visits. View full news

Just me, but you have top have a mix. Player development is still vital IMO... Xavier Worthy was a 4-star WR, for what it's worth. Some people had Ryan Wingo as a 4-star

You mean state of Texas? For sure. There were 17 EE's in the 2024 class ... the guys that didn't EE chose not to. I think it's being maximized as much as possible right now.

Think that's where all of this headed too

Bigger frame, going to be a stronger runner between the tackle at P5 level. Jordon is 5-11, 205'ish right now. Will be that 220-225 pound back with very good feet between the tackles. Stewart is going to be a 205-210 pound slasher type that can get to the second level quickly. He's 185 right now, but has good frame development in front of him.

Here's what is fun ... watch Kelvin Banks sophomore tape at Summer Creek ... look at how far he has come... Turntine III is better than Banks at same age with longer arms. http://www.hudl.com/v/2NVJKv
