Jasper (Texas) High tight end Kiotti Armstrong is among the top offensive targets for Texas in the 2025 cycle. Armstrong, 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds, attended Texas Junior Day January 20. He also received a school visit from head coach Steve Sarkisian and tight ends coach Jeff Banks in January. “Coach Sark told me to go out there and handle my business,” Armstrong said today. “And keep developing.” Former Jasper High teammate and good friend Tyanthony Smith has had a strong message for Armstrong since getting settled in at Texas. “He likes it a lot,” Armstrong said. “He told me Texas is where he needs to be.” Texas A&M Junior Day visit Armstrong attended Junior Day at Texas A&M January 13. Getting to spend time on campus with the new staff was key. “I liked it a lot,” he said. “Being able to be around the new staff. How they treat me and that they will try to develop me as a person and not just a football player.” Visit plans in March Armstrong is expected to make an unofficial visit to Texas March 22 prior to a 7v7 tournament in Round Rock the 23rd and 24th. A visit to Texas A&M in March is also a possibility. Armstrong currently has 28 offers. That includes SEC programs Texas, Texas A&M, Alabama, LSU, Oklahoma, Auburn, Florida, Ole Miss, Arkansas and Mississippi State. View full news

Think there is a lot of truth/facts in that.

I'll start with Kirkland ... he's got a long recovery from the knee surgery. Goosby - a lot of positives out of Austin on him. 6-8, 310-315 now. Crazy he was 6-6.25'ish and 270 when he committed. Chatman - Texas loves the overall athleticism and upside. Question is where on the line will he end up. He's taken reps all across the line. Spring will be key there IMO Stroh receives praise too. He's going to maximize every ounce of what he has. Among the most physical OL's in the run game. Cojoe is still so young, and still maturing. If he remains patient and stays with the process, he has a chance from what I've been told.

I see Texas signing a five man class in 2025. Just too much high-end talent in the cycle. Six isn't out of the question, but I'm thinking/hearing five now.

Texas up to No. 32 in NCAA NET after the win at TCU https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-net-rankings

If it ended today, yes. 4 Quad wins after TCU yesterday. Road wins at TCU and OU

Good stuff The Tyanthony Smith news isn’t surprising after going by Jasper High twice during his recruitment. He’s a mature mindset guy, as his high school coaches would say as well. He can take a lot of information in, and put it to use. And his body will develop quick IMO. He reminds me of some of the LB’s that come out of the state of Florida … you look at them in HS and think adding 15-20 really good pounds of weight is attainable in the first 5-6 months they are in college

I said he’s feeling OU the most right now. That’s saying Oklahoma is in front.

I was watching live and I thought that's what he said lol

Couldn’t agree more. Future of Big 12 basketball is going to be ridiculous… Kansas arizona houston baylor tcu Kansas state Iowa state Texas tech cincinnati byu colorado Arizona state utah Oklahoma state West Virginia UCF

I’ve often wondered how many recruits Mack Brown would have lost with Texas NIL behind him… would have been extremely scary for the competition

Not at Texas … Kyler Murray recently There haven’t been many, definitely not successfully

Texas OL coach Kyle Flood was by Bridgeland High Thursday Texas staff is a big fan of Fodje. This guy will end up being a top 150 type prospect nationally, or should be. Would be a nice win for OU

Texas A&M offers San Antonio Masdison 2026 WR ... was at Texas Junior Day January 20

For sure. No days off conference

Michael Fasusi, OT, Lewisville High - June 27-29 OV likely set Tyler Thomas, IOL, Dickinson High - June 27-29 OV likely set Jonte Newman, OT/G, Cypress Bridgeland Ryan Fodje, OT, Cypress Bridgeland Jackson Christian, IOL, Port Neches-Groves ... Texas will evaluate a lot of guys this spring ... some very difficult decisions to make with this much OL talent in state. John Mills OOS is a take at IOL for sure. Peter Langi out of Cali is a guy Texas likes too. It will be a 5 man class for sure in 2025.

Mansfield Timberview 2025 S Nathan Tilmon commits to SMU

I believe he did. But will double check

Could be either … think he likes idea of both in college unless he rises to the point of his choice being made for him

I miss the days of the Little SWC!!! Ced Benson Eric Winston Roy Williams etc…

Great to have you on OTF! Thank you very much
