Quick visitor update for this week + transfer LB note
Here are some names we are expecting in town throughout the week:Wednesday- Jasper LB Tyanthony Smith Thursday- Lucas Lovejoy LB Payton Pierce - 2025 Conroe QB Christian Nunerly- 2025 Tomball Memorial LB Ethan Lea - 2026 Tomball Memorial WR Cole MontesFriday-Sunday- Hattiesburg (MS) QB AJ Maddox - Humble Summer Creek LB Xavier Atkins - Lucas Lovejoy WR Parker Livingstone - Lafayette (LA) Acadiana DL Dominick McKinley - Tucker (GA) edge Christopher Jackson - Tampa (FL) DE Solomon Williams - Beaumont United OL Weston Davis - Camden (NJ) WR Jaylan Hornsby - Fort Lauderdale (FL) TE Colton Heinrich - Melville (NY) TE Korey Duff Jr. - 2025 Rancho Santa Margarita QB Bekkem Kritza - 2025 Hattiesburg (MS) DL Andrew Maddox - 2025 Hattiesburg (MS) DL Kevin Oatis - 2026 Lafayette (LA) Acadiana DE Darryus McKinley - 2026 Nixa (MO) OL Jackson Cantwell - USC WR transfer Gary Bryant JrWe'll add more names as we get them. - Lastly, I'm keeping an eye on New Mexico St LB transfer Josh Ferguson. Originally from Katy Taylor, the 6-0, 220 pound Ferguson played in 10 games last year and recorded 46 tackles. He's got two years of eligibility remaining due to Covid. A Houston area source told me he thought A&M would be a good place for Josh, but I haven't heard of any substantial talks taking place up to this point. If things progress, I should get a pretty decent heads up. As of now, this is nothing more than a name to add to the spring/summer watchlist.
