Recruiting Notes (2/21)

I've picked up more than a couple recruiting notes over the past week, and I figured I'd consolidate them all under one post with as many quick hitters as possible to end the week. - I can say with much confidence that this coaching and recruiting staff are absolutely combing through the state of Texas to find players. Their diligence in scouting within the friendly confines is uncovering some new names that have resulted in either offers, heavy interest, or names to follow. It's an exercise that the TexAgs Recruiting team has been talking about, and it's definitely being put into action. - One of the new offers that has come from that aforementioned scouting was to James Scott out of Conroe Oak Ridge. His current size and stature are attention grabbers, but it's his upside and projection that got the Aggies to make their move. Subsequently, more programs have followed as Scott begins to make waves now more as a Flex TE rather than an outside receiver. He's closing in on 6-5, 220 pounds and has an impressive wing span which results in a massive catch radius. - In that same vein, if you're looking for another in-state name that could project better at a different position than his currently playing, keep an eye on Ft Bend Marshall's Kaeden Johnson. He's 6-6, 220 pounds with verified measurables that have college coaches doing extra examinations about where his upside could lie at the next level and has been the quarterback for the Buffalos for the last two seasons. He also stars on the basketball team and can do a standing backflip at his size. Johnson currently holds two P4 offers from Colorado and Illinois, but I could see that list growing if schools start making moves on him as more of an athlete than a quarterback. - Last cycle, Texas A&M got burnt late in the quarterback department. There's no need to rehash all that, but I can say it sounds like they've learned their lesson and are taking the necessary steps to make sure they don't have a replay in this cycle. Let me preface this by saying that the staff is completely comfortable with Helaman Casuga and the status of his commitment. He was their guy at the onset of this cycle, and they've stuck by that. They've also made Helaman aware that they have to cover all their bases so it sounds like all the bases have been covered in terms of communication and transparency. That said, here are a few names I'm keeping an eye on in case a need should arrive.QB Matt Ponatoski - Cincinnati (OH) Archbishop Moeller: A fantastic baseball prospect that is already getting the full steam ahead push by Mike Earley and Caleb Longley, he's also gaining steam as an elite prep signal caller. Both the football and baseball staffs are working in conjunction here. His younger sister is also a primetime softball prospect so I'm sure Trisha Ford wouldn't mind this working out in the Aggies favor, either. QB Keisean Henderson - Houston Legacy: About 18 months ago, people thought this kid was only an athlete. Now, because of massive improvements in mechanics and overall quarterback aesthetic, he's one of the top vaulted himself into the top tier quarterback conversation nationally. His performance at the Navy All American Bowl where he took home Offensive MVP was a major eye opener.QB Jack Daulton - The Woodlands: This kid is a little bit of a late bloomer, but the tape and athletic profile is very intriguing. He recently committed to TCU which I think was a great eval and get by the Horned Frog staff because they might have had a lot tougher time getting him in the boat had they waited. Daulton has a chance to surge up the rankings with strong performances on the combine and camp circuit this offseason. QB Bowe Bentley - Celina: A&M is way behind the pack in terms of an offer, and there were rumors during state championship week that he had eyes for Oklahoma. As always, I'll defer to Howell to any kid from that part of the state, but I did want to mention his name. - Finally, these are a handful of other greater Houston area names that I'm watching to see how they're pursued by Texas A&M and others throughout the spring and summer.ATH Paris Melvin Jr - Cy SpringsOL Avery Morcho - Ft Bend Ridge PointRB Cardae Mack - AtascocitaLB Calvin Thomas - Cy RanchLB Kosi Okpala - Katy Mayde CreekCB Xavier Harmon - ConroeS Chace Calicut - North ShoreS Carter Stewart - Shadow Creek

Visitor List: Texas A&M vs Texas

This is the list we've been able to piece together up to this point. There are going to be some more names added between now and Saturday - a few late adds and others who we are going to hold until we get confirmation they're on the way to campus. While there are no 2025 quarterbacks on this list right now, we are extremely confident that there will be within the next 24-36 hours so stay tuned on that front. *** Eli Morcos was added on Thursday after the original post was made. ****** Brady Hart was added on Friday after the original post was made. ***Texas A&M CommitsProsper OL Connor CartyMidlothian OL Nelson McGuire Dickinson OL Tyler Thomas Cocoa (FL) QB Brady Hart Jasper TE Kiotti Armstrong Hitchcock WR Kelshaun Johnson Montgomery (AL) Carver WR Tristan Norman Cy-Fair DL Landon Rink Bellville DT DJ Sanders Danville (CA) San Ramon Valley OLB Marco Jones La Verne (CA) Bonita LB Noah Mikhail Forney LB Kelvion Riggins Shadow Creek CB Cobey Sellers Lancaster (CA) Quartz Hill CB Adonyss Currie Phoenix (AZ) Desert Edge CB Jamar Beal-Goines Katy Paetow NB Deyjhon Pettaway Bushnell (FL) South Sumter S Rashad Johnson A&M Consolidated K Colton Chmelar Bellaire Episcopal LS Gray Evans 2026 Draper (UT) Corner Canyon QB Helaman Casuga 2026 Fairburn (GA) Langston Hughes TE Xavier Tiller 2026 Douglasville (GA) Douglas County WR Aaron Gregory 2026 Douglasville (GA) Douglas County DE Jordan Carter 2026 North Forney CB Ryan Gilbert 2026 Mesquite Horn S Markel Ford 2025 Prospects/TargetsMontgomery Lake Creek QB Eli Morcos - Tulsa commitSpring Dekaney ATH Nicholas Townsend - Texas commit Lewisville OL Michael Fasusi - Oklahoma commitLewisville OL Sean Hutton - Oklahoma PWO commitMesquite Horn OL Lamont Rogers - Missouri commitMemphis (TN) Melrose RB Jamarion Morrow - Missouri commitBellville RB DD Murray Cy-Fair HBack/TE Wyatt Herbel - Houston commitDraper (UT) Corner Canyon WR Jerome Myles - USC commitLufkin DT Zion Williams - LSU commitBaton Rouge (LA) University Lab LB Keylan Moses - LSU commit2026 Prospects/TargetsSpring Valley (CA) Mount Miguel ATH Brandon Arrington Newnan (GA) ATH Rodney Colton Jr - South Carolina commitEuless Trinity OL Pupungatoa Katoa Klein OL Nicolas Robertson Orlando (FL) First Academy OL Chancellor Barclay Orange (CA) Lutheran OL Samuelu Utu Midlothian OL Noah Best Flower Mound OL Drew Evers Prosper OL Zaden Krempin Ft Bend Ridge Point OL Avery Morcho Frisco Lone Star RB Davian Groce - maybeCibolo Steele RB Jonathan Hatton Jr - Oklahoma commitCarthage RB KJ Edwards Fairburn (GA) Langston Hughes RB Carsyn Baker Port Arthur Memorial RB Amante Martin Forney RB Javian Osborne Lakewood (CA) TE Caleb Tafua Argyle TE Braden Bach Frisco Panther Creek WR Jalen Lott Carrollton (GA) WR Ryan Mosley Waco University WR London Smith Bellflower (CA) St. John Bosco WR Madden Williams Bossier City (LA) Airline WR Kenny Darby - LSU commitHattiesburg (MS) WR Tristen Keys Naples (FL) First Baptist Academy WR Jayden Petit Douglasville (GA) Douglas County WR Devin Carter Aledo WR Kaydon Finley Destrehan (LA) WR Jabari Mack Temple DE Jamarion Carlton Baltimore (MD) St. Frances Academy DE Zion Elee Mobile (AL) St. Paul's Episcopal DE Anthony Jones Arlington Martin DE Jesse Ford Smithson Valley DE Hudson Woods Duncanville DE KJ Ford Baton Rouge (LA) University Lab DL Lamar Brown Richardson DL Jaimeon Winfield Dyke (VA) Blue Ridge School DL Valdin Sone Port Arthur Memorial LB Tank King Little Rock (AR) Parkview Magnet LB Jakore Smith Barnesville (GA) Lamar County LB Kaden Carter Katy Mayde Creek LB Kosi Okpala Carrollton (GA) CB Dorian Barney Toledo (OH) Central Catholic CB Victor Singleton Hollywood (FL) Chaminade-Madonna S Derrek Cooper Baltimore (MD) St. Frances Academy S Jireh Edwards Las Vegas (NV) Bishop Gorman S Jett Washington Orlando (FL) First Academy S Devin Jackson Atlanta (GA) Woodward Academy S Blake Stewart Frisco Panther Creek S Donovan Webb Pascagoula (MS) S Tylan Wilson Frisco Lone Star S Jordan Deck 2027 Targets/ProspectsOlathe (KS) West QB Cameron Kruse Bastrop QB Weston Nielsen Anna OL Peyton Miller Texarkana Texas OL Qua Ford Moss Bluff (LA) Sam Houston OL Albert Simien Shadow Creek RB Tristan Willis Tyler WR Trey Haralson Cy Ranch DL Amari Vickerson Raleigh (NC) Millbrook LB Quinton Cypher Baltimore (MD) St. Frances Academy CB Raylaun Henry Pittsburgh (PA) Aliquippa CB Larry Moon III Lewisville CB Taelyn Mayo Baton Rouge (LA) University Lab DB Emmanuel Moses 2028 Targets/ProspectsClear Lake ATH Terrell Stinson Carthage ATH JD Edwards Klein Oak RB Micah Rhodes Tulsa (OK) Union DL Terrance Evans 2029 Targets/ProspectsBeaumont West Brook WR Brock Anderson

TexAgs National Average Rating

The TexAgs National Average Rating is a proprietary formula that calculates an industry-wide aggregate rating for each recruiting prospect. The formula includes publicly listed grades, scores, ratings and rankings by national recruiting services, along with a TexAgs rating. Combining the data provides a rating for each prospect, which is then normalized to fit the TexAgs Rating 100-point scale.

The intent of this rating is to provide TexAgs readers with a comprehensive snapshot of how individual prospects rank nationally.

TexAgs Rating

The TexAgs Recruiting team of Billy Liucci, David Sandhop, Jason Howell, Ryan Brauninger and a host of recruiting interns attends more than 75 games each fall and observes and evaluates every major Texas A&M target, as well as most of the top 150 prospects in the State of Texas. From this evaluation the team draws a rating for each prospect on a scale between 70 and 100.

99-100: Elite national prospect (Five-star)

Considered one of the best prospects in the nation and a likely difference-maker at the collegiate level. Displays all of the physical skills to be a future All-American with potential to be an early-round NFL draft pick.

90-98: Elite state prospect (Four-star)

Considered one of the best 30-40 prospects in the state and a top 250 national prospect. Displays the physical skills to be a major early contributor at the collegiate level with high professional potential.

80-89: Quality prospect (Three-star)

Considered one of the best 100 prospects in the state and a top 500 national prospect. Displays the physical skills to develop into a contributor over the course of his college career. Has the ability to become a professional prospect over time with development.

70-79: Solid prospect (Two-star)

Considered one of the top 250 prospects in the state. Has the physical skills to be a potential contributor at a D-1 program over the course of his collegiate career with significant development. Professional potential is low.

Staff Predictions

The predictions represent which school each staff member believes will ultimately sign the recruit, and the confidence meter represents his level of certainty in that outcome.

Example #1

If the predicted school is Texas A&M and confidence is set to “High”, then the staff member is saying “I believe that this recruit will ultimately sign with Texas A&M and I feel very certain about that.”

Example #2

If the predicted school is “Alabama” and confidence is set to “Low,” then the staff member is saying “I believe that this recruit will ultimately sign with Alabama, but I’m not very certain about that.”
