Gerry Hamilton

Traded messages last night with him. Doesn’t have visit plans yet, but wants to get on campus this season, if possible

Like the sophomore tape … quick and a striker on first contact … delivers a jolt at times. Has the SEC size and physicality Texas is in search of

Not for me. May not even be his last trip to Texas prior to deciding. He’s also currently expected to go to a game at Oregon (possible in October). As of today, this recruitment is headed into late October/November.

Texas hasn't reached out to that kid as of Monday

Couple of Texas visit notes OTF expects 4-star++ athlete Michael Terry (San Antonio, Texas/Alamo Heights) to attend the UTSA game Saturday per a source close to the recruitment. Frisco (Texas) Panther Creek 2026 4-star+ WR/CB Jalen Lott tells OTF today that he plans to at the Texas vs ULM game September 21. Mayde Creek High 2026 4-star+ LB Kosi Okpala tells OTF he is planning to attend the Texas vs. Georgia game.

They have OL injury issus mounting. One tackle Jake Taylor, can't stay on the field either.

Texags actually deleted a post ... "Can Texas A&M beat TU this season" ... it had well over 150 responses. Pitiful. Weak sauce. And most importantly, LMAO

A win would only create a bigger tidal wave But let’s look at Georgia in 2025 … this is very important. Nobody gets them all in national recruitments or SEC regional recruitments: Georgia has brought in 59 official visitors in the 2025 cycle … they have 21 commitments. The Dawgs will likely end up with 24 of 60 officially visitors in the class. The key is more shots on goal for Texas in these types of recruitments.

Person at Carrollton High says it’s at least 50-50 for Texas

With the exception of QB or a legacy type, tend to agree ... especially OOS national recruitments. But Texas has to take a national OOS guy if he wants in now.

After a 4 TO game against California Saturday Lol https://www.espn.com/sports-betting/story/_/id/41209187/auburn-payton-thorne-says-bettors-asking-money-losses

Hicks has been in consistent communication with Blake Gideon and a couple of other staff members since the summer.

For me, not many locked down commitments any more. As someone else said, he will be on campuses. A very early commitment like this puts the X on the school back he commits to. I always think about how many visit opportunities are in front of a kid that commits very early in Junior year: Saturday games, Junior days, spring practice UOV’s, June OV’s, last weekend in July, games senior season

Hicks high school stats: 2022 (freshman at Parkview High): 28 tackles, 2 INT 2023 (sophomore at Carrollton High): 67 tackles, 5.5 TFL's and 2 sacks

This one will be interesting ... was told just now that at least one person very close to the Carrollton High program thinks Texas is at least 50-50 for Hicks.

Note on 2026 4-star safety Zelus Hicks 2026 4-star safety Zelus Hicks (Carrollton, Ga./High) is set to announce his college commitment September 12. Hicks, 6-2'ish and 180, is down to Tennessee, Texas, Auburn, Georgia and Clemson. There is more chatter about Auburn, Texas and Tennessee as of this evening. Also as of Tuesday evening, the Longhorns feel like they are very much in the race for the Peach State star. Hicks made a visit to Texas this summer with his 7v7 team. Hicks has 32 offers to date, including ten from the SEC.

Not at all for me. I think he’s technically pretty advanced for his age Probably Devin Coleman because he plays about half his snaps at DT for Cedar Hill, and he will likely play center at Texas.

OnTexasFootball brings you guys and gals a couple of quick Tuesday evening recruiting nuggets. Kelshaun Johnson, WR, Hitchcock (Texas) High The Texas A&M verbal told OnTexasFootball Tuesday afternoon that he plans to attend the Texas vs Georgia game October 19. The Texas staff has remained in touch with Johnson and members of the Hitchcock High staff this season. Lamar Brown, DL/OL, Baton Rouge (La.) University Lab - 2026 OnTexasFootball has been told that the Longhorns are expected to recruit the 6-5, 275 pound lineman. Texas likes Brown more on the defensive side of the ball. While things can change, it’s not considered a lock that Brown stays home for college. The Horns will have a shot at the top 75 level prospect nationally in the 2026 class if they make a big push.

Think he could end up at either, but he's a mauler guard for sure. Agree. He has tackle feet, length and frame ... want to see the reactive/body quickness at Texas against the EDGE talent.
