Has decent offer sheet and I like the size. Likely will bump up to a 4* when everything is said and done.

Just a reminder that CB Dijon Lee of Mission Viejo, CA will arrive in Austin tonight for his official visit.

IT saying don't hold your breath on this one with Alabama and Georgia pacing the recruitment, but the staff will give it their best shot.

Per IT, Texas has a real shot to move the needle with DT Kevin Wynn this weekend.

Much like DE Javion Hilson, he's high on Texas and doesn't have a problem leaving home.

Kevin Wynn, Florida State Seminoles, Defensive Line

Also does track and field throwing events. Placed 11th at GHSA 1A meet in the discus as a 10th grader and was also a regional qualifier in the shot put. ----...

On WR Kelshaun Johnson...IT reinforced what OTF said earlier about him having the opportunity to commit to Texas a few months ago in the spring, but he didn't take it for whatever reason.

That was before the staff had made significant progress with Ffrench, Moore's de-commitment and things quickly heating up with Hines, so his spot may very well be gone and we'll know more after the weekend.

They're being told he gave a silent commitment to A&M on his official visit to College Station, which would make sense based on Wiltfong's prediction a few days ago.

Kelshaun Johnson, Texas A&M Aggies, Wide Receiver

Academics huge . Then why tech ?

Per OTF, Texas has a legit shot with OL Nick Brooks and OL Lamont Rogers as they prepare to host them both this weekend.

Brooks will be in with his mother and siblings.

Rogers will be visiting with his mother, who loved the academics side on their last visit to Austin, and the Longhorns will be tough to beat if she favors them after the weekend is over.

Nick Brooks, Alabama Crimson Tide, Offensive Line

Competed in shot put and discus as a freshman in Spring 2022. Posted shot put reps of 35-5.5 and 34-3. ----- 2024: Transferred from Cedar Rapids (Iowa)...

Academics huge . Then why tech ?

They mentioned academics for the family, which isn't hard to believe being Nigerian.

But Smith is focused more on the football part, and it's possible he sees an easier path to the field in Lubbock.

We'll see how much of a priority he is soon.

247 saying DT Brandon Brown will be officially visiting with his parents, brother and a sister who happens to live in Austin.

Hamilton at OTF emphasized that big brother is huge in this recruitment.

Brooks has been getting a run of Georgia picks over the last week. Think we can get Rogers though.

Hamilton at OTF expects Orogbo in Austin with his father this weekend.

He said academics is huge.

He added that Texas has Orogbo behind Hilson on the DE board, but the staff could push for him this weekend regardless.
