Jahari Rogers

After watching the class of 2020 play their senior seasons, Billy Liucci updates his Liucci 44 on the eve of early signing day. He also ranks the top 25 for the class of 2021 and reveals his top 5 by position in the class of 2020.

- I was just made privy to some intel late, late tonight on Shadow Creek S Xavion Alford. I know what the national pundits have said, but I believe Alford will now hold off on a commitment until sometime during the season. Alford is a mature kid and has been one of the more personable, thorough prospects I've covered this cycle. He's doing his homework - all of his homework. He's looking at depth charts, defensive schemes, personnel groupings, academics, job opportunities...the whole nine.That being said, I personally believe Texas A&M has taken the reigns on this recruitment. That hasn't come from Xavion or any of my sources. That's my reading of the situation. Ultimately, I believe his relationship with Leon O'Neal and Mike Elko win out for the Aggies. - Staying in the defensive backfield, I was told tonight by a source that Aldine MacArthur CB Josh Eaton is looking to arrive at a decision in "the next 7 days or so". I believe Eaton plans to record a commitment video to make his announcement. Texas and Oklahoma are still hovering here as are the Aggies. A source in the know I spoke with though thought Texas had their eyes elsewhere, but it sounded like their DB situation is just as fluid as A&M's in the 2020 class. They just received a commit out of Florida and continue to push for Jahari Rogers. What I don't know is how hard OU is after Josh. I should also point out that my source said Eaton was planning to arrive at a decision - mum was the word on making a public announcement.I should see/speak to both Alford and Eaton this weekend. - Last thing: a pair of 2022 names to watch in terms of offers in the near future - Dickinson TE Donovan Green and Port Arthur Memorial CB Jaylon Guilbeau. Green has already started blowing up with offers from around the region, and the folks I spoke to last week in PA said Guilbeau will be every bit the prospect Kary Vincent and Danny Gorrer were. Guilbeau told me he and standout 2021 DE Jordon Thomas would love to play together at the next level.

Around the state of Texas decisions are being made, visits are being taken, and offers are being extended as we move closer to summer. It is time to take a look at the latest happenings on the Lone Star state recruiting front.
