I spoke with a source near Curtis who told me something interesting tonight. Curtis was contacted by the Texas track team who extended a scholarship offer to him this evening. Curtis is a Georgia commit, but Texas is his dream school. We told you about Curtis this week in Burnt Ends, and we were told by this source Curtis is considering taking the track scholarship and walking on to the Texas football team. This would be shades of Marquise Goodwin who of course did the same thing. If this were to happen and Curtis played football at Texas his scholarship would count against the football numbers. We will keep you guys apprised of this story as it continues.
Update (10/28 6:15PM)
I spoke with my source again and here's the deal. Curtis was offered a partial scholarship from the Texas track team, and the track coach was good enough to go over and talk to the football office. Chris Vaughn and Brian Jean-Mary are the recruiters here, and they contacted Temple coaches. Expect to see Davion make a Texas game soon and the coaches are planning to go see Curtis in action. From what we were told, they are currently working out the numbers in this current class. Curtis however could be an exception because he has track speed which is something they currently don't have in their recruiting class. This also benefits the track coaches because they could save a partial scholarship if Texas football got involved and offered. There is still a lot of evaluating to go but this one could be picking up some steam. During our conversation I was told once again if Curtis went to Texas, Beaumont Central running back Devwah Whaley would most likely be in the bag. It would also bode well for the recruitment of Temple 2017 DE Taquon Graham who is an absolute stud. We will keep you guys updated on this one as we have a pretty good source on the news.
