Four-star WR Kelshaun Johnson locks in two official visits Hitchcock (Texas) High 2025 wide receiver and OnTexasFootball 4-star Kelshaun Johnson has locked in two official visit dates, and a third date could follow soon. Johnson, 5-11 and 165, told OnTexasFootball that he has official visits locked in for Penn State May 31-June 2 and Texas Tech June 7-9. The Nittany Lions have been all in on the Houston area speedy playmaker since offering June 21, 2023. That includes multiple FaceTime calls with head coach James Franklin. Texas Tech is leaning on teammate and good friend Lloyd Jones. Jones, 6-3, 210, committed to the Red Raiders November 4, 2023. Johnson told OnTexasFootball that he is also in discussions with Texas and Kansas about June official visits. The Longhorns' staff has mentioned the last weekend in June. That would be the big recruiting weekend for the Longhorns. The Longhorns offered Johnson June 11, 2023 after a standout camp performance. Wide receivers coach Chris Jackson, area recruiter Blake Gideon and head coach Steve Sarkisian have remained in constant communication since that time. He attended Texas Junior Day January 20, as well as Texas A&M Junior Day January 27. OnTexasFootball continues to feel like Texas is in a very good spot headed into the spring evaluation period. Johnson is up to 23 offers after Florida, Utah, Houston, TCU, Arkansas and UTEP in January. Johnson is currently on the hardwood for the defending 3A State Champions. He will focus on track after the conclusion of basketball season. He posted a personal best of 10.49 (wind-aided) in the 100 meters last spring. View full news

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.

John Mills junior season HUDL: http://www.hudl.com/v/2M311F

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. View full news

100% agree with you. Mukuba, second year Derek Williams plus one more youngster stepping up and the secondary will take a big step ... and it has to as the athleticism on the other side of the field in 2024 is taking a big step up.

1000% this

I think more than any early meaningless flip chatter ... Brown getting on campus in March will be the key moving forward for Texas and Brown. IMO, he will sign with an SEC school.

That's pretty good lol

No question about his talent level, and that is what Georgia/Bama have been playing with for years... Junior HUDL: http://www.hudl.com/v/2LXmfe

IMG Academy 2025 DB Major Preston junior HUDL: http://www.hudl.com/v/2McLUJ

OnTexasFootball gets your week started with some Monday morning recruiting nuggets. IMG Academy 2025 DB to visit in April Texas offered 2025 defensive back Major Preston of Hopewell (Va.) IMG Academy January 30. Since that time, the 6-1, 175 pound versatile defensive back has been in contact with safeties coach Blake Gideon multiple times. Preston told OnTexasFootball Monday morning that he has a visit scheduled to Texas April 13-14 to meet the staff and take in a spring practice. Preston currently has 22 offers with 11 coming since December of 2023. The offer list includes SEC programs Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Florida and Ole Miss. Brandon Brown and a Texas visit Texas verbal and OnTexasFootball 4-star defensive tackle Brandon Brown (Melbourne, Fla./Eau Gallie) told OnTexasFootball Sunday that he will be in Houston March 22-24 for a 7v7 tournament. It’s likely that he will head to Austin on the 22nd with his California Power 7v7 team and make a first visit to The Forty Acres. Brown said he will also be in Dallas April 5th weekend for a 7v7 tournament. Brown told OTF he is yet to speak with new defensive line coach Kenny Baker (as of Sunday afternoon), but has texted with head coach Steve Sarkisian and Tashard Choice. “I’m just taking the process slow right now,” Brown told OnTexasFootball Sunday. “They told me I’m a great player (when Texas visited the school), and can’t wait to for me to come visit. I have text with Coach Sark. He just said he can’t wait to get me on campus to visit. Same with Coach Choice last week.” The visit to Texas and time spent with Coach Baker will be impactful on his recruitment moving forward. “I’m just going to try to get everything sorted out when I get out there. Spend time with the staff, Coach Baker.” Brown says LSU, Florida, Texas A&M, Tennessee, and Ohio State are all in. He made a visit to Texas A&M last summer, LSU last summer and Tennessee for a game this season (vs. Georgia). His relationship with LSU’s Bo Davis is the best of any position coach currently. Myron Charles and Texas OnTexasFootball caught up with Sunshine State 4-star defensive lineman Myron Charles (Port Charlotte, Fla./High) Sunday afternoon. The 6-foot-4, 290 pound disruptor was offered by Texas February 1 when Jeff Banks stopped by the school. Since that time he has exchanged messages with members of the Texas staff. Charles reports that a spring visit is a possibility. Miami, Florida and Florida State are all recruiting Charles full steam. He was on campus in Miami in late January. View full news

Awesome stuff. Three Alabama players arrive at Texas with that same nasty taste in their mouth after the playoff loss in January ... Great team for Sark to coach ... got a taste of competing for the NC in the playoff, but didn't climb the mountain to the top either. Makes for a talented, and hungry team

I agree with you on OU being inviting to OL's in 2025 due to what you said ... coupled with Texas signing 15 over the last three classes, and none of the 12 from 2022 & 2023 hitting the portal (as of yet).

Texas is definitely working to get a lot of these guys on campus in March, April Spring Game or June OV's ... Ffrench would be among the toughest of pulls out of the group.

Texas loved Fodje. He was a take.

Really think after being around Ryan a number of times, he wants to be at Alabama. And Bama/Auburn were going to make it extremely difficult for him to leave the state ... but Auburn is not where he wanted to be at the same time.
