Wednesday DFW Recruiting Notes
I made a few stops around the DFW area this week. On Monday I hit Guyer, Tuesday it was a trip to Mesquite Horn and today it was Flower Mound Marcus in the morning and South Oak Cliff this afternoon. Let's start with the new offers. The Aggies offered two DFW standouts today. South Oak Cliff 2025 OL Emeka Ugorji and Mesquite Horn 2026 CB Ryan Gilbert. Both have been on the Aggies' radar for awhile and both have been among the areas hottest prospects since the end of the season. Ugorji, a 6-5, 280-pound OT, won OL MVP honors at the UA Camp a couple of weekends ago and at the time he said he planned to visit A&M this spring. Those visits plans have solidified, he will take an unofficial April 13. Gilbert, a 5-11, 170 CB, also had a standout performance at the UA Camp. He visited Texas A&M for the Aggies' early February Junior Day and he hopes to return soon. Coach Elko and coach Peterson have both made a strong impression. Now for some news on some guys who already held offers I have interviews coming with Horn 2025 OL Lamont Rogers and 2026 S Markel Ford. The Aggies continue to position themselves nicely for both. They will take unofficial visits to College Station on March 30. Mesquite Horn 2025 OL Lamont Rogers. a top priority for the Aggies and one of the nation’s best. He will visit College Station March 30 and return for his OV June 6@TheLamontRogers | @CoachAllenHC | @tajakaha | @KoachMak | @HornJagsRecruit pic.twitter.com/PpdL60Km8T— Jason Howell (@Jason_Howell) March 20, 2024
Ford really likes the opportunity to play for a defensive minded head coach and he has also established a strong bond with coach Ish. Rogers also has plans to take an OV to A&M June 6-8, and this upcoming trip to College Station will be the first time his mom has visited Aggieland. March 30 will be a big weekend for the offered guys at SOC too. DE Kamauryn Morgan, LB Jayden Shelton, and 2026 LB Jamarion Phillips all have visits planned for the day. Morgan and Shelton have not scheduled OVs to Texas A&M but they are in discussions. Denton Guyer 2025 DL Xavier Ukponu is up to 290 and he also plans to take an unofficial visit to Texas A&M on March 30. His OV is scheduled for June 21. Here's a few more names to watch Horn 2025 tight end Kevin Magera (6-5, 230) is also on the Aggies radar, and he plans to visit March 30. Magera currently holds offers from Arkansas State, Bowling Green, Houston, La Tech, Marshall, and UTEP. South Oak Cliff 2026 DL Kordae Houston checks in at 6-4, 260. Nevada and UNT offered shortly before the February dead period and he is a guy to watch this spring. He was relegated to JV due to transfer rules, but he has made waves since arriving last spring. 2026 CB Marcell Gipson Jr did play last fall and the 5-11, 170-pound CB has NFL bloodlines and he is quickly adding offers. Wisconsin is the most recent and he currently has seven offers including Oregon, Pitt, SMU, and Texas Tech. In SOC's 2027 class OL Brian Swanson is also generating quite a bit of buzz at 6-5, 295 Guyer 2027 DL Khyren Haywood already checks in at 6-2, 270 and already holds offers from Arizona State, Baylor, Houston, SMU, and UNT and recorded 45 tackles and 6 TFLs on his way to third-team all-district honors as a freshman. His 2027 teammate Zane Rowe was focused on DE on Monday and he is a special athlete. A standout at TE and DE, he was offered by Texas A&M under Jimbo Fisher and made a few visits to Aggieland. He's definitely one to keep on your radar. He had a strong showing at both TE and DE at the UA Camp in Dallas. Flower Mound Marcus 2027 QB Colton Nussmeier is another. He is the son of Doug and brother of Garrett, and he is already 6-2, 180 with offers from Murray State, Baylor, Texas Tech, Kansas State, TCU, and Wisconsin. Flower Mound Marcus 2027 QB Colton Nussmeier (6-2, 180) turned heads as a varsity FR and offers are arriving quickly. Baylor, Texas Tech, K-State, TCU, Wisconsin, and Murray St are on the table@coltonnussmeier | @MarcusFootball | @RecruitMarcusFB | @Coach_A_MHS | @harper_coach pic.twitter.com/la4vnc76uY— Jason Howell (@Jason_Howell) March 20, 2024

Texas A&M recruiting notes from the Pylon 7v7 in Dallas
I was out at McCowan Park in DeSoto this morning for the Pylon 7-on-7, and there were a few recruits of note for Texas A&M fans. Red Oak (TX) wide receiver Taz Williams visited Aggieland last week and following the visit he mentioned his plans to narrow his list and he thought the Aggies would make the cut. He has a top 10 in mind, but he is crossing a few t's and dotting a few i's before it is ready to be announced. He has also began discussing his official visit with Texas, and he mentioned Ohio State, Michigan, and Texas A&M as a few more schools likely to get official visits. He plans to make a commitment decision around the start of his senior season. Standout 2025 QB Kelden Ryan visited Texas A&M a few weeks ago and I am told by DFW sources the Aggies continue to keep an eye on Ryan. He has a relationship with Elko that goes back to Elko's days at Duke. In fact, the Blue Devils were one of his top schools before he committed to Virginia Tech. Since arriving in College Station, Elko and company have dropped by to see him a few times, and the visit allowed him to get a feel for Klein and his offense. My sources tell me Klein's intelligence really resonated with Ryan. No offer has been extended, but I am told communication continues and it appears as if there is mutual interest so we will continue to monitor things and keep you guys posted. The Aggies have also shown some recent interest in Duncanville (TX) 2025 QB Keelon Russell. He has been committed to SMU since September, and he has added February offers from Florida and UCLA. Texas A&M offered under the older staff, and I am told by DFW sources the idea of a future visit to Texas A&M is intriguing to Russell. Texarkana (TX) Texas High running back Tradarian Ball has been talking with coach Wiggins since Wiggins' days at Alabama, and it felt good to get the Texas A&M. He planned to visit College Station for Texas A&M's Junior Day last week, but a family emergency prevented him from making the trip. He plans to get to College Station this spring. Texas, Wisconsin, Texas A&M, SMU, Oklahoma, and Ole Miss are coming on strong. He mentioned Texas among his favorites but he does not have a full list of top schools at the moment. Brownsboro (TX) 2025 CB Micah Strickland is another unoffered prospect on Texas A&M's radar. He just tweeted out an A&M graphic today. He checks in at 6-1, 175 right now and he mentioned TCU, Texas Tech, and Houston as schools showing the most attention right now. Denton (TX) Guyer 2027 TE Zane Rowe was the first in-state prospect offered by Texas A&M with coach James Coley doing the honors. Since the new staff's arrival he has gotten to know area recruiter Sean Spencer and he loves the energy. Rowe likes what he has seen from the staff and from previous visits he already know he likes what Aggieland has to offer. He does not have any plans visit plans set for College Station yet, but he said if he is re-offered, look for it to happen.
