Kam Dewberry goes in-depth on Texas, Texas A&M with decision looming
Nick Harris
In looking at the prospects left on the board in the state of Texas, one very large presence out of the northern Houston area jumps out: Humble Atascocita four-star offensive tackle Kam Dewberry.
Dewberry has had a long and methodical recruiting process that has seen him take all five of his official visits to LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas and Texas A&M, and now it is time for him to go into decision mode.
"The recruitment process has been amazing," Dewberry said. "I'm glad that I got the opportunity to take those five official visits. I'm different from other recruits in that I didn't want to take all five during the summer, so I spaced them out a little bit. Just being able to do that, you know the 2021 class didn't get that, so I'm glad with COVID and everything that we were able to get those official visits in. I'm just blessed."
Dewberry's fifth and final official visit was to Texas for the Kansas game, and the pitch of coming in and playing early was convincing for Dewberry, who has a desire to come in and have the opportunity to touch the field as a freshman.
"I knew the main approach was come be a starter," he said. "I know that I'm needed as an offensive lineman, and that was their main goal and main focus. Just watching the Kansas game, it showed me that I'm very needed. Me, DJ [Devon Campbell], Kelvin Banks, Neto [Umeozulu], those guys, we're needed. We can come in and be day one starters."
In evaluating the visit experience, Dewberry said that the Texas staff, headed up by his main recruiter Kyle Flood, could not have done a better job in hosting him and his family.
"The visit was 10-out-of-10, there was nothing better that they could have did during that visit," he said. "The only thing that would have made it a little bit better is if they got the win, but the visit was still amazing at the end of the day. They did everything they had to do to show they really want me there and that I'm important."
One thing that sticks out about Texas is the history of development from offensive line coach Kyle Flood. From his days at Alabama and even at Rutgers, Dewberry sees his line of development and how he could possibly be a fit into that mold.
"Coach Flood, I see the development he has had with top players," Dewberry said. "With him recruiting Evan Neal to Bama, Jedrick Wills to Bama, Alex Leatherwood, all those guys are guys he developed that he had for two years. He made those guys into first rounders. Even before that, he had first rounders at Rutgers. I know Flood is a good developer, he knows what he's talking about. He's the truth, he knows what he's doing."
Texas is in clear rebuild mode this offseason, and the class of 2022 is an integral part of that process. It is something Dewberry is very aware of, and the prospect of the challenge doesn't scare him away because he knows it will create a bigger opportunity for early playing time.
"When I think about that, if I go be a part of a rebuild I know I'll get many years of college experience meaning I won't have to wait behind nobody," he said. "It increases draft stock if I can come in as a freshman and play three years, that's three years worth of film. Instead of joining the most-winning team, how about we turn something around? At Texas, I see what the vision is."
The other school in clear contention is Texas A&M, as the Aggies have built a long-standing relationship with him behind efforts from Jimbo Fisher and offensive line coach Josh Henson.
"The relationship with them with them is really good, they've been recruiting me since I was a freshman," he said. "It's been over two years that they have been recruiting me so I'm familiar with them, their recruiting pitch, and what they see me as. Our relationship has been pretty strong."
Dewberry also has high praise for Josh Henson who has shown the ability to produce high quality freshman offensive linemen this season behind the performances of Bryce Foster and Reuben Fatheree.
"Coach Henson, I feel like he is a good developer too," he said. "You got two freshman midseason All-Americans on the offensive line. That just shows that he can develop young guys and can get them in there and play. I'm a guy that wants to come in and be able to play early, just to have the opportunity to earn a spot. Just to be able to be put in that position like if I make it, I make it, but if I don't it's on me. I want it to be in my control."
With a little more than two weeks before he plans to put pen to paper, Dewberry is in full decision mode. He plans to have his mind made before the early signing period so that he can enjoy the day.
"I'm probably gonna make my decision here soon. I'm trying to be able to commit before that," he said.
At 6-foot-4, 313 pounds, Dewberry is the No. 76 ranked recruit in the country for the class of 2022, according to 247Sports Composite. He is the No. 3 ranked interior offensive lineman and the No. 13 recruit from the state of Texas.
Ok put him in the calculator. Almost all of his quotes have been said by Sark in press conferences the last couple of weeks. That tells me that he's buying what Texas is selling. Fantastic

Per IT - Savion Red is going to OV to Texas.
From Standish at IT:
Sounds like spin, but I have heard that this kid is a Dawg. Hard hat, lunch pail type leader.

Unless Patterson is looking for a part-time gig - why would he go somewhere as a Coordinator or position coach when he could easily get another HC position somewhere.
The only logical response is maybe the Delconte angle. We will see how close they are and hoe savvy Sark is.

That is interesting. IT shot it down recently, but I'm starting to realize the paysites are pretty behind on coaching search info... unless Jeff Traylor is involved.
This is Patterson's most recent follow. She is an academic coordinator here. Could be nothing, we shall see. He also recently started following Kobe McKenzie and Travonte Citizen but before that he followed a few OU guys including their president.

Maybe the better hope is Terry joining his brother and Kelly at LSU.

Because they're brothers or cousins. The idea is that, with these two specific Josephs, there would be bad blood for firing a blood relative a few days before hiring the other.
There have been like 3 or 4 articles talking about how Texas needs Gary Patterson, including one from Brian Davis today. Maybe there's some smoke there? It's hard to imagine Gideon being the scapegoat and not Joseph but we shall see. Only thing thats relatively clear is PK is coming back.

Most likely Joseph is retained as well. For a guy with hardly any recruiting ties in the state, for BK to release proven stud coaches and recruiters from the area would be a death sentence from the start.
Yeah has anyone seen Gideon being mentioned at all? Weird vibes all around.

the PFF Analytics post that said Freeman was named ND coach
Oh, I haven't seen that I was just basing it off of what all the ND beat guys were saying last night when the news broke.

Niuafe Tuihalamaka would be nice to get back in on with Kelly going to LSU
Indeed, USC would worry me a little but also Freeman is likely getting the HC job at ND and if not, he's probably gonna stay there if Fickle gets the job, so I don't think we should get our hopes up.

Doubtful. He came in out of shape and needs to tend to his body. Just because a guy needs to put in work doesn't mean he is on transfer watch.
Yeah the twitter is pretty gloomy though. Not a single Texas thing and hes pretty active on there. Its probably worth monitoring
-
Looks like PK is sticking around. He's commenting on these instagram live videos lol. Hey, its Sark's ass on the line, I hope he gets it right.

Anthony Cook returning would be nice. One of the few bright spots on defense this year.
Any guesses who the 2-3 players we wouldn't like to see leave might be?
id guess one of them is Jatavion Sanders

5 hours ago, Getafix said:— I spoke to a source near five-star wide receiver Evan Stewart today. The Frisco Liberty pass-catcher is taking a step back to evaluate his options. Texas, Texas A&M and Alabama are the main schools involved, but the source told me Evan is conflicted as of now. Sources in Austin still feel confident they can land the dynamic playmaker, but it wouldn't surprise me to see his decision go into January and maybe all the way to February. Stewart is taking courses to graduate early and would potentially like to enroll in January if possible. It also leaves him the option to not sign and just enroll at the school of his choice when the spring semester comes around.
Roach said this today lmao

Our guys have been hinting at momentum behind the scenes for a while, it would be nice if some of it was made public right about now. I mean at this point do we really believe we are in it for Perkins, dewberry, and Banks?
