There has been scuttlebutt regarding where Temple (Texas) EDGE Jamarion Carlton fits into the picture as of late.

Form the last word that I have received, Carlton has a final decision that will see him choose finalists of Texas and the Baylor Bears. LSU hosted Carlton for an OV on May 30, though with their recent surge for Trenton Henderson the Bayou Bengals are a long shot to also win out on Carlton.

I will say don't discount Baylor. The Baylor staff has done a fine job this cycle of winning some key recruitments in the CenTex region. 

Given where things stand in the 2026 cycle, I would be quite surprised to see the Longhorns not come out on top in this one.

Carlton decides on July 10.

@CJ Vogel @Gerry Hamilton IF we do happen to land carlton, wouldnt he and wesley both be strongside DE considering Carlton Size? Would there still be a need for a weakside Edge? i.e Possibly Jake Kruel

Better than the expected “Baylor has gone all in” when I opened this thread

If we lose Carlton to Baylor, the universe has definitely gone upside down.   🙃 😳🤪

I think the Kreul recruitment is down to OU and UF. 

That could be the case, but I think the edge room would remain very healthy if only two are taken in 2026

Thought Kreul already committed to OU.

Not yet

A&m has really surged for Bryce Perry-Wright lately as well. That was all Clemson about 10 days ago. 

I feel like I have heard this story before over the last week or so.  Don’t hurt me again. 😂

Only way Aggie can win these recruits is by throwing a 💰 at them lol can't pitch program success ever😂😂😂😂😂😂 sad 

thanks for the info, CJ

it's gonna be pretty wild, then things will ramp up again close to December

Luckily, we're playing with house money at this point.  We are loaded, and have a really good prospect committed for the 2026 at DE.

DT...we are playing with house money again.  January and Hills, 2 or 3 last year depending on how you classify them, and we have 3 DTs committed already for the 2026 cycle.

Other teams are shooting their wads in an effort to "match" us.  This all works in our favor in the long run.

If you haven’t paid attention that’s what literally wins 99% of recruiting battles

Nope. Only to an extent

Why aren’t we surging with anyone? Seems like we only lose steam towards the end of these recruitments. I really find it hard to think it’s ONLY NIL related.

I don't know what else to tell you. That is the main factor for the majority of the losses Texas has experienced this last month.

Some folks don't see the skins on the wall that Sark & Co have already hung/slayed. The season and this fall will prove what this recruiting class will Be really all about

They gotta pay all they can because no one wants to play for Elmo

A Wesley and Carlton duo would be quite a pair.
