Update on DE Keisean Lucier-South of Orange, CA (24/7):
"I want to take an unofficial visit there this summer," said Lucier-South. "I'm not sure exactly when yet, but I'm trying to set something up for the summer time. If everything goes well I might do an official later. I really don't know honestly, but I like Texas a lot. They're up high on my list."
"We talk probably every two weeks," he said. "We have a great relationship. He's a great man and he always keeps it real with me. I love the coaching staff there in general, but especially Coach Rumph."
"Texas is just a great football school," Lucier-South told Horns247. "They have a great tradition there and they're always playing some of the best teams. I like them a lot."
OL Jerry Tillery of Shreveport, LA told 24/7 yesterday he will attempt to visit UT this summer.
Quotes from DT/DE Sterling Johnson of Clayton, NC (24/7):
"We last spoke about two weeks ago," said Johnson. "We actually talk about three or four times a month, but this last time Coach Rumph was telling me how much they wanted me. They have already offered and they're a school I like a lot, so it was good hearing that."
"I really like the mindset that Coach Strong has," he said. "Plus, there have been some great defensive linemen to come through the University of Texas."
"I'm planning on visiting sometime this summer," Johnson told Horns247. "It won't be for a camp, just a straight up visit. I'll be looking forward to it. I want to see what kind of quality education they offer and get a chance to really meet the coaches and people there."
The coach of JUCO DE Takkarist McKinley gives an update on his recruitment (24/7):
"His recruitment is really picking up," said Carter. "We're seeing a lot of schools come in and they're all very interested. Obviously Texas has offered and they're very interested in him, along with many others."
"He likes them (Texas) a lot," Carter said. "We have some familiarity with Desmond Harrison going there, even though it's a new staff. But this staff really likes him and he likes them. He's heard many, many good things about what Texas has to offer. He's actually trying to set something up to visit sometime this fall. That's still all in the works."
"Takk is going into this with an open mind," said Carter. "He's going to have a lot more options this go around. He does already actually. I wouldn't say anyone has the lead right now, but a couple of schools, including Texas, are on his mind."
Per 24/7, CB Kris Boyd is another prospect we can expect to meet with the coaches this weekend. Taylor Hamm switched his Crystal Ball pick for Kris Boyd from A&M to Texas a few days ago.
Coach Wickline was in Nacogdoches yesterday to see CB Jaylon Lane and 2016 S Brandon Jones.
