*******2025 Dallas Under Armour Camp Preview and Live Thread *******
I'm about to head over to Melissa, should be about 8:15 when guys start to arrive. Here's a rough schedule of the day's action-Defensive Line/Offensive Line: 8:45-11:15 a.m.-Linebackers/Running Backs: 9:45 a.m.-12:15 p.m.-Quarterbacks/Wide Receivers/Defensive Backs: 11:15 a.m.-2:15 p.m.They will be measured and tested. Those results are not posted but I'll work to see what I can get. They'll also do 1-on-1s and position drills. Typical camp stuff. Here's some thoughts and notes and guys to watchPre-camp MVP PredictionsQB: Peyton Houston, Shreveport (LA) Evangel Christian - polished, accurate, big armRB: KJ Edwards, Carthage (TX) - versatile skillset with burst and speed to shine WR: Trenton Yancey, Duncanville (TX) - A strong physical build and an explosive athlete capable of creating separation as well as making the contested circus catch. OL: John Turntine, Crowley (TX) North Crowley - light on his feet, technically sound, great flexibility, powerful handsDL: Khyren Haywood, Denton (TX) Guyer - speed on the interior with an arsenal of moves to win in one-on-onestends to show well in one-on-ones which is always a question for LBs in these settingsDB: John Meredith, Euless (TX) Trinity - length and speed and the size to get physicalSome More Pre-camp SuperlativesMost likely to pass the eye test: Myson Johnson-Cook, DeSoto (TX) - checks in at a solid 6-foot-3, 220Sleeper capable of emerging strong: DE Landon Barnes, Duncanville (TX) - the offers are starting to Out of State standout: OL Evan Goodwin, Little Rock (AR) Pulaski Academy - caught my eye last summer on the camp circuit, earned his Texas A&M offer in June, and one of the best in ArkansasIntrigued to see: OL Chase Elrod, Seminole (TX) - 6-7, 265 with Baylor and Texas Tech offersSurprised I haven't mentioned him yet: QB Kavian Bryant, Palestine (TX) Westwood - one of the top prospects in attendance, and he tends to shine on the big stageSome quick questions-Will Legend Bey work at other positions? He is listed at QB, but has embraced the idea of being recruited as an ATH. If he does, look for him to line up at WR. -What will be highest performing position? My bet is on a stacked OL group with several of the state's best, but WR is really strong as well.-Who is the guy not mentioned yet TexAgs subs should watch out for? If WR Kaydon Finley and DE KJ Ford are in action this weekend, expect them to do what they tend to do which is handle business in a dominant manner.-Who is the prospect without a Texas A&M offer, Aggie fans could hear quite a bit about today? RB Christian Rhodes is a big back at 6-1, 200 with track speed and a versatile skillset. Committed to SMU, but this is an environment he could easily shine.-Who will emerge from off the radar to take home MVP honors? It happens every year. Last year Noah Best and Emeka Ugorji earned OL MVPs and Ali Vinson took home LB honors. In 2023 Paul Mencke took home DB honors alongside a young Jermaine Bishop. It seems to happen every year and I look for the trend to continue.Prospects with Texas A&M offersQB Kavian Bryant, Palestine (TX) Westwood (2027) QB Peyton Houston, Shreveport (LA) Evangel Christian (2027)RB KJ Edwards, Carthage (TX)RB Izayah Lee, Lancaster (TX)RB Victor Scott, Lancaster (TX) (2027)RB Lathan Whisenton, Waco (TX) Midway (2027)RB Myson Johnson-Cook, DeSoto (TX) (2027)WR Kenny Darby, Bossier City (LA) Airline - LSU commitWR Boobie Feaster, DeSoto (TX)WR Kaydon Finley, Aledo (TX)WR Mason James, Norman (OK) NorthWR Dequane Prevo, Texarkana (TX) Liberty-Eylau - Arkansas commitWR Brayden Robinson, Red Oak (TX)WR Zion Robinson, Mansfield (TX)WR London Smith, Waco (TX) University - Baylor commitWR Jeremiah Douglas, Crandall (TX) (2027)WR Trenton Yancey, Duncanville (TX) (2027)WR JD Edwards, Carthage (TX) (2028)WR Damarion Mays, Crowley (TX) North Crowley (2028)TE Zachery Turner, Duncanville (TX)TE Jeramie Cooper, Crowley (TX) North Crowley (2027)OL Noah Best, Midlothian (TX)OL Drew Evers, Flower Mound (TX)OL Evan Goodwin, Little Rock (AR) Pulaski AcademyOL Zaden Krempin, Prosper (TX)OL Felix Ojo, Mansfield (TX) Lake RidgeOL John Turntine, Crowley (TX) North CrowleyOL DeMarrion Johnson, Tyler (TX) Legacy (2027)OL Peyton Miller, Anna (TX) (2027)OL Jasper Ngokwere, Richardson (TX) (2027)OL Brian Swanson, Dallas (TX) South Oak Cliff (2027)DT Anthony Kennedy, Little Rock (AR) Southwest - Missouri commitDT Jaimeon Winfield, Richardson (TX)DT Khyren Haywood, Denton (TX) Guyer (2027)DT JD Jones, Dallas (TX) South Oak Cliff (2027)DT KAdrian Redmond, Corinth (TX) Lake Dallas (2027)DE KJ Ford, Duncanville (TX)DE Dawayne Jones, Tulsa (OK) Booker T Washington (2027)DE Zane Rowe, Denton (TX) Guyer (2027)LB Jakore Smith, Little Rock (AR) ParkviewLB Braylon Williams, Arlington (TX) Lamar (2027)CB Ryan Gilbert, Forney (TX) North ForneyCB Bryson Brown, Owasso (OK)CB Taelyn Mayo, Lewisville (TX) (2027)CB John Meredith, Euless (TX) Trinity (2027)S Jordan Deck, Frisco (TX) Lone StarS Donovan Webb, Frisco (TX) Panther Creek S Davontrae Kirkland, Waco (TX) University (2027)S Cooper Witten, Argyle (TX) Liberty Christian (2027)S James Foster, Lancaster (TX) (2028)

They each have other obligations and have communicated their intentions to the staff so do not read too much into their absence. -If you are asking, I do think there is potential for a few top targets not currently on the list to pop in, but we will see as the weekend plays out.-Another couple of quick notes. Earlier this week OL Michael Fasusi told me he does not have any weekend plans. I am also not expecting DJ Sanders to make an appearance this weekend, but I continue to hear what Brauny has said about the Aggies being in an enviable position there.

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.”
