Four-star out of state OL locks in Texas official visit

The January stop at John F. Kennedy High in Cedar Rapids, Ia. by Texas offensive line coach Kyle Flood was clearly a success.

Just days after Nick Brooks told OnTexasFootball that he was planning two visits to Texas, he has locked in an official visit.

Brooks, 6-7 and 345 pounds, will make his first even visit to Texas April 20. And now he will follow up with an official visit June 14-16. 

Brooks is considered one of the cream of the crop offensive line prospects in the 2025 cycle. He committed to Iowa the in early September of 2023 before backing off that pledge November 7. At the time, Georgia was considered the main competition. And while the Bulldogs remain the in the top 2 with Iowa, Texas is officially in the race. 

Brooks told OnTexasFootball  March 19 that he was planning two visits to Texas

"I'm going to visit Texas in April," Brooks told OTF March 19. That visit remains scheduled for the Spring Game April 20. "I have an official visit scheduled to Texas, but I think I have to change it to another date."

Texas was originally looking to lock in the June 21-23 visit weekend, but that is when Brooks is scheduled to be at Iowa. With Georgia scheduled for May 31-June 2, that left June 14-16 as the likely date for the Texas official visit, which is now locked in. 

The one-time Iowa pledge currently sports 31 offers. The offer list includes SEC teams Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, LSU, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Mississippi State and South Carolina.
