The Texas Longhorns continue the pursuit of OnTexasFootball 4-star defensive tackle Kevin Wynn (Greensboro, Ga./Greene County).

After offering February 20, Kenny Baker and Tashard Choice have maintained contact with the 6-3, 320 pound defensive tackle, and those close to him.  

Baker and Choice have been in contact with Wynn's circle two or three times since offering a source told OnTexasFootball Tuesday morning. Baker is talking with Wynn and family about a potential spring visit date. According to the source, Texas, LSU and Florida are schools that have been mentioned as schools Wynn would like to go see this spring prior to locking in his full June official visit schedule. Mississippi State is also fighting for a spring visit. 

Florida State, Alabama and Georgia remain the three mentioned most with Wynn set to make an unofficial visit to FSU this weekend. The Seminoles are considered the team to beat headed into the spring with the new Alabama staff chipping away. 

The Kevin Wynn File

1. Wynn is 6-3 and around 320. He's currently playing on the varsity basketball team, which begins the playoffs this week. He will go to the track after hoops season concludes. He qualified for for state in the Class 1A shot put and discus as a sophomore. 

2. The February 20 offer was made by defensive line coach Kenny Baker. Running backs coach and area recruiter Tashard Choice has ties to the Greene County coaching staff, but did not have a role in the offer. It was Baker, a Peach State native. Baker also has ties to the Greene County High staff dating back to when Baker was on staff at Mercer. 

3. Wynn released a top 10 in February. That top 10 consisted of Georgia, Florida State, Alabama, LSU, Tennessee, Florida, N.C. State, South Carolina, Michigan and USC. 

4. Wynn made visits during the season to Florida State (twice), Alabama (twice) and January visits to Georgia, N.C. State and North Carolina. He had to cancel visits to Tennessee and Florida. 

5. His No. 1 interest outside of football is culinary. He wants to be a chef one day. His major could well be nutrition (natural sciences). 

6. Wynn enters his senior season with 136 career tackles, including 57 tackles for loss and seven sacks.

How is Baker progressing with the in-state kids and with Brown?

While I was watching his HUDL I started feeling bad for the linemen trying to block him, they had no chance.  He's like a cross between Murphy and Sweat, (at least on the HS level) bigger and quicker than everyone on the field.  

thanks, G

Wynn just manhandles those poor OLs, lol. Wynn penetrates, throws down the OL, then tackles the RB hard.

Wynn’s the type of DL that the opposing coach sits down his stud OL and says, “It’s okay, John, we’re gonna get you some help blocking Wynn.” Then Wynn just crushes both OLs, lol.

Texas just might need a Wynn if they want to win it all.

Brandon Brown ... will meet him for the first time and truly get that all-important visit facetime with Brown March 22.

Baker is getting positive reviews, but I want to say I don't believe it's the difference maker. These are premium position nationally ranked guys ... more than half are going to be NIL recruitments. Just being real.

A take for sure. He is old school: just grab them all and peel them off until you get to the one with the ball.

sounds like we'll be some serious contenders for a few of these recruitments #HookEm

FSU has been recruiting really well with some high level prospects across the South. Hopefully they tank this season and all the shine rubs off of them!

1. Will be very fun to watch how many elite national recruits actually get to campus this spring 

 

2. I am still begging someone from the UT staff to offer Stephon Shivers!
