Brandon Brown visit update

One of the key visitors Friday for the Texas Longhorns is OnTexasFootball 4-star defensive lineman Brandon Brown (Melbourne, Fla./Eau Gallie). 

Brown, 6-1.5 and 290 pounds, will fly from Melbourne to Houston Friday morning. He will then make a visit to Texas with members of the California Power 7v7 program before a 7v7 tournament in Houston Saturday afternoon and Sunday. 

The visit news with Brown is not new, but there are key parts of the visit that is news. Brown will be accompanied on the trip by his mother, older sister (senior) and best friend. They will also fly into Houston Friday morning, and drive to Austin with Brandon. It will be the first meeting with the staff and visit to Texas for everyone. 

Brown is building a relationship with defensive line coach Kenny Baker. They have spoken multiple times in the last 2-3 weeks. Steve Sarkisian, Jeff Banks and Tashard Choice stopped by Eau Gallie High in January prior to Baker being cleared to hit the.road and recruit. 

The visit is key, obviously, with USC breathing down the neck of Texas. Along with Tennessee, Florida, Miami and a couple of others. He will visit the top schools on his list in March and April ahead of official visits.

Brown has three June official visits scheduled. He will visit Tennessee June 7-9, Texas June 14-16 and USC June 21-23.

    Very good news and important to have those members of his family with him as well to meet face to face with the staff. I think if the visits go well and relationships continues to get stronger we may be able to hold onto him. Long ways to go but this is where we want to be as a program

    Hope this 7v7 trip solidifies Brown and gets Texas in the race for Linkon Cure

    Flying and then driving a few hours in the same morning sounds very tiring. 

     

    Not the most ideal circumstances there but better than no visit at all

    Phone conversations and January in-school meetings have been positive from kids. IMO, these spring and summer visits will be the key in that regard though for a full picture.

    To be clear on recruiting the position ... NIL has to be powerfully placed in DL recruiting to win the battles in SE Region.

    Seems like he's not as active on social media.  Time will tell.

    The 7v7 tournament is in Houston. The California Power organization is flying their team into Houston , and then taking them by bus to Austin for the visit.

    How much do I need to donate to NIL for Texas to have a shot with Linkon Cure?

    They are. The family and Brandon are flying into Houston and then driving to Austin. 

    The Cali Power 7v7 team is flying into to Houston, and taking a bus to Austin for a visit too.

    Will be a key visit ... a couple of schools in pursuit "predict" he eventually becomes a non-committed prospect making OV's to Tenn, Texas, USC, maybe Florida, and a couple of others. 

    We shall see.
