Baker hadn't talked with Brown as of Sunday afternoon. He spent his only four days on road after being announced in Texas. Sark, Choice and Banks went by eau Gallie High prior to Baker being officially announced by Texas.

He knows USC will be one June official visit. Texas A&M (spoken with Mike Elko and Jay Bateman) is another possibility. Didn't rule out spring visit to Texas. Spring (Texas) High 2025 defensive tackle Floyd Guidry (6-1, 285) is one prospect eyeing an April decision, barring a change. TCU will get a March visit on the 23rd. Texas, TCU, Houston and Texas Tech are talked about the most.

Two top Texas targets scheduled to attend are Lufkin (Texas) High DL Zion Williams and Mansfield (Texas) Timberview DL Dilan Battle. Both are OnTexasFootball 4-star prospects. OnTexasFootball continues to believe Texas leads for Hitchcock (Texas) High WR and OnTexasFootball 4-star Kelshaun Johnson (5-11.5, 170). Texas A&M WR coach Holmon Wiggins did impress Johnson at Junior Day January 27. Two OV's are set: Penn State (May 31-June 2) and Texas Tech (June 8-10). Texas is likely June 28-30, but not locked in yet. Of note, Texas A&M is seriously recruiting teammate, good friend and 2025 Texas Tech QB commit Lloyd Jones (6-3, 210). View full news

Will Griffin is a rare 8th grade starter on varsity football ... an especially at QB ... Tampa Jesuit as JM said... https://www.maxpreps.com/fl/tampa/jesuit-tigers/athletes/will-griffin/football/stats/?careerid=6p0u2hg3ih7rb

Good stuff! His dad played at Klein Oak prior to Sam Houston State, correct?

I too will be surprised if he's not the first OOS offer ... was at Texas Junior Day January 20 http://www.hudl.com/v/2MmTYS

Dude ... Pflugerville High has a 2026 TE prospect that will be on a lot of radars http://www.hudl.com/v/2LjEBm

You got me looking at him now! http://www.hudl.com/video/3/17932537/6369590aff0cda04f4311d40

Jett Suratt ... man he has very high-end accuracy and anticipation in all three levels.

Watched Grant Smith in 7v7 recently ... 10+ inch hands, can make all the throws ... downfield arm talent for sure.

I don't think so. For me, I want Sark taking the best QB he thinks he has evaluated with the program having been built back up.

Think his 2024 season will determine that ... but his frame and motor have him on the radar headed into next season.
