John Mills locks in Texas official visit (Monday 12 p.m. CST)

John Mills locks in Texas official visit

The Texas Longhorns offered 2025 offensive lineman John Mills (San Francisco, Calif./St. Ignatius Prep) on September 16, 2023. 

Since that time, offensive line coach Kyle Flood has made Mills a priority in the 2025 cycle. That includes multiple trips to San Fransisco to see Mills. And Mills and family have made three visits to Austin in less than a year. 

The 6-6, 325-pound IOL prospect and OnTexasFootball 4-star informed OTF Monday morning that his official visit date to Texas will be June 14-16. 

Texas initially talked to Mills about the last weekend in June, but his family will be out of the country that week/weekend. 

Mills currently sports 17 offers. Since Texas offered in September, Mills has added Power 5 offers from Nebraska, Michigan, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Utah, TCU, USC, Texas A&M, Florida, Penn State and Arkansas. Washington was his first offer in 2022. 

He made January Junior Day visits to Texas (January 19-20) and Florida (January 27-28). He has been on campus at Washington and Michigan multiple times in the last year. 

Mills comes from a family of college athletes with multiple family members having played at the University of Washington.

Getting him on campus is huge. If we could pry him away from the West coast teams that would be a big, big win.

Yep. Washington and Michigan are stout competition. 

 

The loss of Jim Harbaugh doesn't knock out Michigan. It's been Sherrone Moore recruiting Mills the entire way for the Wolverines.

Hopefully Sark and Floods West Coast ties can help get him. I feel like throwing the SEC is the new flex on recruiting these guys.

Recruiting a guy from the Bay Area is interesting usually only see Texas stay in Southern Cal but in Flood we trust!

Does he not have some relatives in Texas, or am I confusing him with someone else?

Not that I know of. 
 

May be thinking of recent DL Josiah Sharma (Folsom High) … lived in Arlington for a while, and has some family in Austin

Yes, that is with whom I confused him.  Thank you for the clarification.

John Mills is a take at guard.
