Some notes from Gerry/Bobby/Vogel OTF streams from May 6th and May 7th
MAY 6th STREAM
THEY LOVE COLE
Who's the best?
Jay'Vion Cole's DA BEST!!
JOSH PETTY (5* OT)
- Kyle Flood went by his school last Tue
- Currently has Oregon scheduled June 14-16
- Looking at visiting Texas instead on those dates, moving Oregon to a diff day
NICK BROOKS (4* OT)
- Visiting Texas June 14-16
- GA favorite; GA/TX top two; Kyle Flood visiting in a couple of weeks
LINEBACKER CLASS
- 3 for sure
- Barnes committed, Texas leads for Pettijohn
- Matai Tagoa ("stud, stud, stud") SC commit, Jonathan (Dante?) Cunningham visiting 14-16; Javar Thomas offered, but not visit set up in Spring, which is a concern re him
- Transfer DTs - juice worth squeeze?
- Kevin Wynn visiting 14th - 16th
PORTAL
- Right now, don't see another definite guy in the portal, at any position
- Doesn't include grad transfers … unlikely to be high level players
- 3 or 4 considered portal, only Blackshire pulled trigger; was running third team
- Punter may be a grad transfer possibility
FAVORITE DT RECRUITS
- Brandon Brown
- Josiah Sharma
- Kevin Wynn
- Zion Williams
- Myron Charles would be the 5th
- Derry Norris sleeper
- DJ Sanders - fine as 4th; needs time to develop
- FYI, Gerry raves about Brandon Brown (called him a 5 star in his book)
- Likely 4 HS d-linemen; 3 for sure, likely 4
Again, likely to go to the portal for dlinemen after this season
Amari Niblack running up the seam, could go for 80; need to defend the deep ball vs. Niblack, as opposed to Sanders
Just heard from Nick Townsend - his official visit to Texas is still on
MAY 7TH STREAM
Wouldn't disagree with reports that Texas is on top for Jaime FF, but things could change
French is an early enrollee
Flood going out to see Fasusi, etc..
Yesterday, thought Texas may be done with schollies, but don't think so anymore.
3 schollies left.
Scouring the portal for -
A) Immediate help (DT, DB, punter … )
B) Or smaller school guy looking to move up - even frosh or redshirt frosh (not Cormani)
Don't see Sark taking any Texas kid that has entered the portal, back
John Mills (OT) - Texas and Washington, Texas is the favorite, need to close out in June
Jackson Christian - Texas/Ags - curious whether he moves his timeline up
John Turntine ('26) - ahead of where Banks was
Troy Huhn or Dia Bell - Texas QB may be one of those two ('26)
