2026 New Boston RB Ashton Rowden tells OTF that he has been in contact with Texas running back coach Chad Scott recently.

Rowden said he is familiar with Scott, and that there was a conversation about a week ago where Texas was checking in on the New Boston four-star back.

The 5-foot-11-inch running back holds 24 offers at the moment, and took four official visits in the month of June:

• May 30: TCU
• June 6: Texas Tech
• June 13: Minnesota
• June 20: Houston

As far as I know, there was no visit conversation, but Rowden certainly becomes a name to monitor on the trail.

Not just that—it’s not like Tashard Choice was pulling in five-stars every year. He was probably slightly overrated as a recruiter. Let’s give Scott a damn chance, good lord.

"no way he's going to break that for a TD"

I assumed we were already looking at 2027 guys.

That's certainly possible, but he's a 2026.  

Does beg the question of who there will be for 2027, though.  And I have no idea at all who that may be.

2027 Az. RB Noah Roberts

2027 Waco Midway Lathan Whisenton

2027 Richmond Randle RB Landen Williams-Callis

 

Three that come to mind early.

Roberts looks very likely to be pursued.

Good cutting ability and is slippery, but that is 3A.  I wonder how it will translate?  He does look good on film though.

So dumb. 

I really hope we decide not to take a HS RB now. Don’t reach just to fill a number. PORTAL PORTAL PORTAL. 🤘🏻

Exactly.  Trust Sark and the staff.  They know what they're doing and they aren't panicking.  

Battling some elite programs for this one

He can rebound and have a good run next year but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t whiffed on all of his top prospects this class.
