Warren not the only from John Tyler getting interest from Texas..

[Mike Garland]

Exchanged a few messages with a John Tyler coach this evening. He tells me three other Lions have been asked about by Texas staff..

• Rodney Bendy, 2015, WR - Bendy is a big, physical 6-4 wide receiver. He ended last season with 361 yards, 4 touchdowns on 28 catches. Not eye-popping but the potential is there. Currently committed to North Texas.

• Geovari McCollister, 2015, ATH/QB - McCollister filled in nicely after John Tyler graduated current Houston Cougar Greg Ward, going 175 of 269, 2615 yards, 22 TD and 6 INT. Also rushed for another 852 yards on 199 carries. Has a chance to play QB at the next level but it's not at a school like Texas. At 6-2, 210 he's being looked at as a ATH/Hybrid-type TE. Currently committed to Central Arkansas.

• Braylon Jones, DL, 2016 - It's been known for some time that the Horns have shown interest in Jones. The interest has picked up some lately. The 6-3, 280 defensive tackle has a motor on him. Goes hard, all the time. It's a mystery to why his offer list isn't better than what it is. Navy is his only offer at the time. Good grades, good player and a good kid. Ended his breakout campaign with 61 tackles, 8 for loss and 2.5 sacks.

First two guys sound like reaches unless they have superlative physical gifts; 40-time, short-shuttle, vertical jump.  But, hey, who am I to question CFS?  Maybe he likes the grit and competitiveness of JT Lions?  In Strong We Trust

Thanks, Mike. Interesting stuff.

Good info, Mike. Are there any TEs that nobody is talking about that have D-1 potential?

Good stuff Mike...

Off the top of my head and in my area I can think of two...

Connor Hobbs (6-4, 215) at TK Gorman. His coach is real high on him. Has the frame to add some weight.

Marquise Guinn (6-4, 230) at Carthage. This kid is really strong and will only grow.. IMO, he's the best TE around here. Will be a JR. this season.

Texas visited both last spring.
