Recruiting Country: The latest recruiting news surrounding the Maroon & White

TexAgs' recruiting analyst Ryan Brauninger joined TexAgs Radio this morning for another edition of Recruiting Country, highlighting the latest news and notes from the recruiting trail ahead of high school football kicking off across Texas.

Key notes from Recruiting Country

• High school football and Friday night lights in the state of Texas start tomorrow. 
   
• We went to a couple of scrimmages. Atascocita vs The woodlands. It was hard to glean anything from it. The Woodlands looked very good. The Woodland’s QB is raking in offers. Samu Taumanupepe‍ looked good. He eats people up. He reestablishes the line of scrimmage. It was a need get because it was something different. For a 370-pounder, he has lateral quickness. OL Nate Kibble‍ has been offered by A&M.
   
• Tory Blalock got offers everywhere he went this summer. His old brother played college football.
   
• I picked The Woodlands as my dark horse state champion. I was impressed by College Station, and they lost in the final last year.
   
• As a staff, I think we will make it to 10 games this weekend. Jason will be at Denton Ryan against New Braunfels then Austin Westlake against Fort Bend Rodge Point. I will see Cy Ranch hosting Katy Tompkins at the Berry Center. I will go see Bravion Rogers‍ as LaGrange hosts Bellville. On Saturday, Smithson Valley, Colton Thomasson‍ and Freddie Dubose‍.
   
• I just dropped some notes about the latest recruitment news that I dont want to talk about too much on air. Anthony Evans‍ announcement on Friday; I dont think that’s A&M. I think he’ll make a trip to Kyle Field this fall.
   
• At the top, it’s Katy and North Shore. The gap is closing. The population is moving around. Katy Paetow is loaded on defense this year. There are a lot of schools in 6A in that mix as well. In 5A, Fort Bend Marshall will be really good. They have realigned, and they will have to really play. The city of Houston is up for grabs this year. 
   
• I think A&M will take two running backs depending on who they are. Jeremiyah Love‍ had a great visit. Rueben Owens‍ I think will come to one game. Roderick Robinson‍ is committed to UCLA but coached by an Aggie. He has an official visit locked in for some time in September. I feel like A&M can land him.
   
• Warren Nolen‍ did play. Not much with the 1s cause he just moved. He’s a big kid with long arms, and I expect him to impact that offensive line as soon as he gets his feet underneath him.
   
• I think they will take one more linebacker. A&M is looking at Tausili Akana‍ right now.
   
• A&M can finish in the top 10 for sure. People are going to hate this but, there is a pathway to a top 5 class. The dominos could fall and then there could be ten top 100 guys. Bravion, TJ Shanahan‍ and Johnny Bowens‍.
   
• Notre Dame has a more personable head coach. Brian Kelly has been on a run with Louisiana kids. Everyone loves Marcus Freeman in South Bend.
   
• The next shoe will drop. Kids start their senior seasons, and they like the process to be done. Go read the board but one in-state kid is close. Be alert for the next 10-14 days.
