I like that we have guys from both Dallas and Houston. I think that’s gonna really help this class if we can get a solid contingent from both cities, so it turns into a statewide movement instead of just a city-specific one. 

As a Houstonian it's nice to see H-town back in the game. aggy should never be able to conquer South-ish Texas.

Nope and it doesn't appear that he's visited according to the 24/7 timeline. I guess he's not worth our staff's time.

Yeah he's still a bit butthurt. Dude should take the LSU cash and have fun with it. They botched the King recruitment so it's open season at QB after Burrow.

6'6" 240 lbs as a high school sophomore? Are we recruiting him as a power forward? I have a sneaking suspicion he's going to outgrow the TE position by the time he's in college.

Highly doubt it.  /Eric Winston

(Mike Roach) The Stampede: Laying out the 2021 offensive board

The 2021 class is off to a tremendous start in Austin. It started when Skyline wide receiver Quaydarius Davis was the first to commit in June, but it really took off following four-star Katy Tompkins quarterback Jalen Milroe’s commitment in July. With that in mind, let’s set the offensive board for the class of ’21.

QUARTERBACK

Texas has its man in Jalen Milroe, and it is already paying off on the recruiting trail. After taking commitments from Hudson Card and Ja’Quinden Jackson in the 2020 class, it’s likely that Milroe will be the only take for Texas in 2021.

RUNNING BACK

Camar Wheaton, Garland Lakeview Centennial

Wheaton is one of the top backs in the country, and there were whispers during the summer that he was very close to pulling the trigger for Texas. Ra’Shaad Samples leaving for SMU disrupted that progress a bit, but Texas is still in the race. Wheaton has his eye on a few other schools as well, and I’ve heard he may be looking to make his decision this fall.

LJ Johnson, Cy-Fair

Johnson was one of the fastest-rising prospects in Texas over the spring, and the Longhorns offered earlier in the summer. Johnson should see his stock rise after his junior season, and will likely battle with Wheaton for the top spot in-state. Johnson said glowing things about Texas after the offer, but the Longhorns will need to get him back on campus and stay on him this fall.

Brandon Campbell, Pearland

Campbell is one of the top well-rounded backs in the state who can do damage on the ground and in the receiving game.  Campbell called Texas his dream school after the offer, and he’s close with Milroe and some of the other commits.  If Texas stays on top of Campbell this fall, it’s likely he ends up a part of this class.

WIDE RECEIVER

Quaydarius Davis, Skyline

Texas landed Davis to kick things off for the 2021 cycle, and he’s been locked into Texas since that time. Davis is one of the top playmakers in the state, and he should help the Longhorns with recruiting Dallas.

JoJo Earle, Aledo

Earle is a perfect fit for the slot at Texas, and is one of the highest rated receivers on the Texas board. Earle said he would like to make a decision sometime this fall, and he named the Longhorns as one of the schools at the top of his list along with Oklahoma State, TCU and Texas Tech. Earle has a strong relationship with Bryan Carrington, and the Longhorns can close if they keep working on him.

Theodore Knox, The Woodlands

Texas offered Knox following the Stars at Night camp in Austin two weeks ago. It’s still very early, but the Longhorns made an impression on him during his visit to Austin. If LSU offers the former Louisiana prospect, things could change. Mississippi State is another school standing out for Knox, but Texas is in the best position they could be in at this juncture.

Latrell Neville, Fort Bend Hightower

Neville’s timeline has been incredibly fluid, but there’s talk he could move it up and decide before 2019. If he does, that’s probably good news for Texas. Neville has been taking notice of what’s happening in Austin, and he’s been to campus a few times over the last two years. Texas is the only in-state school on his list, and the Longhorns should be able to land him if they push hard during the fall.

Bryson Green and Blaine Green, Allen

The Green twins were offered by Texas in the early spring, and they visited a few times throughout the year. They are still fairly open in their recruiting process, but Texas is a school they have significant interest in.

TIGHT END

Lake McRee, Lake Travis

Texas picked up a tight end early when local product Lake McRee committed. McRee said that he wanted to be at Texas his entire life, so it’s unlikely the Longhorns will have to worry about his commitment.

OFFENSIVE LINE

Tommy Brockermeyer, All Saints

Brockermeyer will be at the very top of the Texas board in 2021. The five-star prospect will be slowed by an injury his junior season, but the Longhorns love his potential. He’s also a legacy with his brother being a member on the current team. That said, this won’t be a slam dunk for Texas. Brockermeyer and his brother James intend to take visits, and they were impressed by schools like Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame, Michigan and Iowa over the spring.

Savion Byrd, Duncanville

Byrd is another five-star target high on Texas early. The Duncanville prospect is close with teammate Ja’Quinden Jackson, and has been to Texas a few times over the spring and summer. Byrd keeps a very low profile, but Texas should be in contention for him. A commitment could come at any time for him.

Donovan Jackson, Bellaire Episcopal

Jackson dominated during The Opening Finals as a junior this summer, and he’s in high demand as one of the top prospects in the state. Jackson likes Texas, but he’s much more open to going out of state. Texas A&M is also in a very strong position for him. Texas will likely need to do some work to get into the lead position.

Reuben Fatheree, Richmond Foster

Fatheree spent the year enjoying a number of visits to various campuses. Texas received a visit multiple times over the spring and summer, but Fatheree is also wide open at this point of his recruitment. Texas A&M made an early impression on Fatheree and his family, and he’s also high on programs like Oklahoma, LSU and Alabama.

Hayden Conner, Katy Taylor

Conner followed Milroe’s commitment with one of his own, and since that time, has been a vocal recruiter for Texas. Conner mentioned the academic opportunities at Texas being too much to turn down, and he has a great relationship with Texas offensive line coach Herb Hand. He’s also very close to Milroe, so he should be a very solid commit.

Jonah Miller, Tucson (Ariz.) Salpointe Catholic

Miller visited Austin with Texas commit Bijan Robinson during the spring, and the Longhorns scored big points with him during that time. With Robinson on board, Miller might have more incentive to give Texas a closer look. The Longhorns will need to get him back on campus, but he could be a tackle option for the future.

Bryce Foster, Katy Taylor

Foster is one of the top interior prospects in the country, and his raw strength and mauling ability would be an ideal fit for any offense. Foster is part of a group close with Conner and Milroe, and he’s always been high on Herb Hand. Texas A&M and Oregon are a couple of schools that could offer some competition, but Texas is in good standing early.

James Brockermeyer, All Saints

Brockermeyer was offered during the Texas spring game, but he isn’t just a plus one for his five-star brother. James is one of the best center prospects in the state, and he’s steadily growing into his frame. Brockermeyer is high on Texas as a legacy, but he also loved several of the schools his family saw over the spring. Like Tommy, James won’t be a slam dunk, but the Longhorns should be able to land him with a good season.

ATHLETE

Billy Bowman, Denton Ryan

Bowman is the latest prospect to commit to the Texas class. He plays both ways in high school, but he could start his career as a wide receiver at the next level. If that doesn’t work, Bowman would fit in as a corner or safety.

Juan Davis, Everman

Davis committed to Texas following Stars at Night, and the big athlete could start out on the offensive side of the ball. If it doesn’t work out at tight end, Davis could feature on defense with his tremendous frame and quickness.

Why would the Brockermeyer family want to travel to Clemson, Notre Dame, Michigan or Iowa on Texas game day in two years?  Don't they want to see Luke wrecking shop on special teams and earning a scholarship at Texas?  

have a drink and relax

He won't get free vacations unless schools think his recruitment is wide open.

I’d hardly call Ann Arbor or South Bend a vacation.

You might if you were top college prospect being treated like visiting royalty. From the perspective of entertainment and getting a great look at a historical program, I'd call it a damn fine vacation for a football player.

They're not businessmen in for a conference or job interview. They're elite athletes welcomed into the elite athlete bubble that any top 25 football program can provide.

We get too hung up on towns and weather.

You're right about that. 

I think the two things that are really overstated in recruiting are HS coaches influence on where the recruit ends up,  and the town the University is in. 

They play a part in some recruits decisions,  but the college staff + winning will trump HS coaches and town most of the time.

Has IT said when they expect the 2021 they mentioned over the weekend to drop?

No, no further reference to that.

Wasn't that a 2020? If not, I guess I missed it
