Moderators Blake Munroe Posted January 20 Moderators Share Posted January 20 I checked in with a few prospects and parents after the junior day concluded today. Here's the rundown: - After the day was over, certain players were asked to stay longer for some more personal time with the coaches. For the most part, these were guys who either received offers or who already held offers. - DeSoto duo Byron Washington and Ethan "Boobie" Feaster were two of those players. Washington, the 2025 four-star OL, is all Texas at this point and when I asked if anyone else was standing out, he said "nope." That should tell you everything you need to know. As for 2027 WR Boobie Feaster, he personally met with Sark a bit ago. Both he and Washington hung out in the player's lounge up until their meetings. - Shadow Creek linebacker commit Anthony "Deuce" Williams was an ace recruiter for the Longhorns today. He worked on Colby Sellers, Jacorey Watson, Haydon Caston and Kade Phillips the most over the course of the day. Williams added that his commitment is stronger than ever, despite continuous interest from other schools. Texas A&M, TCU, Baylor and Utah continue to push for him to visit, but I doubt that ever happens. - Four-star CB Colby Sellers (Shadow Creek) visited with Sark on Friday at his school and again today on campus. He just wrapped up a visit to Georgia last week and will now visit both Oklahoma and Texas A&M next. He said that OU, Texas and Georgia are standing out the most, along with Texas A&M. It's worth noting that he likes Sarkisian a lot. - IMG Academy four-star linebacker Gavin Nix was a surprise visitor on the day and Nix was already pumped to see Austin in person, as both Jordan Johnson-Reubell and Jerrick Gibson have been hyping up the Longhorns for months now. Expect Nix to return to Austin in the future for a closer, more personal look. - Kiotti Armstrong (Jasper) is wide open at this point, but former teammate and Texas linebacker signee Tyanthony Smith is in his ear non-stop. He said the visit went really well and that the Longhorns will continue to get a look from one of the nation's top tight ends. Armstrong mentioned that his meeting with tight ends coach Jeff Banks went great. - Lago Vista's Swayde Griffin, the son of former Texas DB Cedric Griffin, met with Terry Joseph in depth. He was one of the first few cornerbacks to meet with Joseph and I was told a very productive conversation took place. - Sachse 2026 WR Hekma Harrison II, who is the son of former Kansas State player Hekma Harrison, met with Tashard Choice on campus. Choice will be by in the spring to see Harrison. He will visit TCU in March. - Ed Small, the Texas baseball commit, was also in attendance today. Small is one heck of a prospect on the diamond, but told me he wants to focus on football going forward. He met with Director of Player Personnel Billy Glasscock and was told they will be visiting with him in the spring. TCU is a school to watch here, however, as they want Small in both football and baseball. - One other important note... a few parents told me that the coach's energy and optimism about the future is unmatched by any other staff in the country. "It's a good energy like we haven't seen anywhere else," said one parent. View full news 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some parents mentioned Sark specifically, while others mentioned assistant coaches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Moore Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 @Blake Munroe did y'all see or hear about Brandon Brown? I get the impression Sark might have pushed the DTs back until he has a coach for them to meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression Sark might have pushed the DTs back until he has a coach for them to meet. Brown was originally going to come, but they had him hold off. My guess, like you said, is due to the DT coach (or lack thereof). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the worst part of it. Wasn't even the rest of my body. That was a different kind of windchill than what I'm used to in Comanche... haha! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
