From unsolved mysteries to unexplained phenomena, from comedy goal to relationship fails, Amazon Music's got the most ad-free top podcasts, included with Prime, because the only thing that should interrupt your listening is... Well, nothing. Download the Amazon Music app today. Welcome to Recruiting Intel on the Inside Texas Football YouTube channel powered by InsideTexas.com. We've got Joe Cook, Justin Wells, we've got Coach Dub. We need to talk about recruiting, spring break, lots of Texas long horns going on vacation, lots of potential future Texas long horns making their way to Austin. We'll have some notes on that in a little while. We've got a good class, best class scenario for the long horns on offense in the 2027 class. We'll be going through that, but if you're over on Inside Texas, you saw it today. So make sure you go to that first link in our description. Use that QR code at the top left of the screen.

50% off, you get on three, you get rivals, and of course you get all the best Texas coverage from Inside Texas. That's football. That's NCAA first four. Spiritually, it's not a tournament appearance, but technically it is. We'll have that all covered here tonight. Spiritually. I mean, technically spiritually, I don't think that counts, but it goes down in the record books as a. If it's your first year coaching at the University of Texas, you better be damn right. It's going to go down as a, as a dance in the dark in March. Yeah. Well, hey, it's not an IT where. And in Will Wade. I mean, is Will Wade going back to LSU? Is Will Wade going back to LSU? That is a question. Go start at this controversy on our board earlier. Inside Texas members, y'all got to come check this out. Joe, Joe's over here, Flaming. Will Wade about to be in the next LSU coach, and I'm thinking, wait a minute.

Didn't LSU fire Will Wade? Wouldn't me. It was Matthew Brune, a friend over at the Biggal Tiger and. It's good stuff. Last thing on Will Wade, what he did then is all legal now. But we'll go get to Texas Longhorn's talk here, been putting it off a little too long. And Antoine, I can see that you raised a little bit of the piece. Well, a little bit. There's one or two in there that aren't on mine, but Antoine came. I think this is Antoine's personal list. If he can obviously correct us. And I don't see a whole lot of differences from the list that we posted as well. Maybe a couple little slight changes, but Antoine, if that's your guess, that is a pretty good guess. I'm going to tell you something though, you need you another tight end. And Texas is going to take two in this cycle that they have made that pretty much priority. And. You're missing the best prospect that I've probably seen in 10 or 15 years, top to bottom, pound for pound.

If it's male Commars on this class, it's a dud. I think everybody on the 40 acres knows that too. But let's go through the 13 offensive players, just in that you put on this list. We'll start at quarterback. We'll go to tie nuts and spring branch, Smiths and Valley. Tough to sign five star after five star after five star. Texas tries. They tries. They might their main eggs in that five star basket was Katie and Bryant in this cycle. Of course, he pledged to Texas tech and pretty quickly Texas pivoted to tie nuts and short order. He commits to Texas and yeah, I think he's properly ranked and someone that Texas is going to very much value in this class. Yeah, I think nuts and it's a great fit. He's a local kid. He grew up loving the horns. He's a kid that'll come in and understands his role. He's you know, sometimes the five stars. There's an expectation that they play early that they that that you know, they're they're paid an exorbit amount of NIL.

You know, with nuts and that he doesn't have those that those worries. He's going to be able to come in and get his feet wet. He'll be an early and early like most longhorn sign. He's moving forward. I think he's a good get also. He measured it six four in the last. Robles camp a couple weeks ago. So he's grown an inch over the off season. Really good arm. Sneaky athleticism. I'm I'm sticking with my K club Nick comparison. But yeah, Katie and Bryant and it want to follow Diabelle and personally, I wouldn't either. Coaches is how quarterback recruiting goes. You got to match skill sets and very skill sets in that class. And you know, this is probably the most expensive position on the team. You got to find the right places to. Guys who at least from the outset in high school aren't going to demand like massive paydates, but could earn it way down the road. Yeah, I think you need different types of quarterbacks in your room as well. Like look, he'll play a pivotal piece on the roster.

Because they're going to face somebody who's a pair of pocket passers. And those other Diabelle and. KJ Lacey, we have actually getting team reps. So you may need tied nuts in here next year. To kind of practice being, you know, the stature quarterback. They made face right. You just never know like he can fit in multiple ways. Yes. Mark kid. He's a winner. Like you want the type of DNA on your team, no matter what. He's a champion. So. You may win again next year too. So you want that on your team. I think that always helps. And he always could be a bridge quarterback to somebody else in the next class. And so. I think when. It's our key to mix it with that way. Like, hey, he's. He's a me. We need a quarterback for the next class. Is he. Karen. KJ Lacey or Diabelle off? No, but he'll compete and he'll work his butt off. Because he's a champion has a DNA built into, you know, to his core who he is. And so I think that helps. He's a bridge quarterback to the next kid. And whatever he becomes in Texas. Great. You get something out of him. He is just talking through games like. I'll have to get his name. He had to came in for. He's missing state where he wasn't a kid. Oh, man.

Yeah. He has some experience. He can step in and play. He had been a system of few years and probably won't transfer out. So you have a veteran quarterback in a few years who can do exactly what you need him to do. As much as quarterbacks want immediate playing time, which I understand. Being a quarterback at Texas isn't a bad, in a bad proposition. If I was a quarterback, I would not want to. And that's true. We'll go running back. And this is a place where you can sell immediate playing time. And they did. And they did big time with no Roberts. This guy being maybe the, I don't know if you went alphabetical or what you did here, Justin, but him being first up after I love this, the stay at Hotel Horn. Texas is in a good spot for another Arizona running back. Yeah, I'm glad you left that in. You took out my Jersey Shore reference. I was on a roll this morning. I don't know if he's from the Jersey Shore. That's the thing that didn't matter. They're all from the Jersey Shore. Anyways, no Roberts look. This was a tough decision for me,

because I love late and wasn't him. And I could actually see him in this class. I could very, he's going to wind up going to Texas or Texas Tech. I really believe that with wisdom. And so I just give Roberts a little bit more of the edge. And you know what? If, if, if all things were equal, I would tilt toward wisdom to the local kid. He's closer. You know, he's, you know, family can see you a lot better. But Roberts has something. And you know what? I didn't think about this until Eric and Charlie started talking more about him. And then Charlie brought up the fact he's from Arizona. And I got to tell you, I see some of that too. It's not the explosive that we used to see from, from, from B. John, but it is. Body, the body and the, and the balance and everything is very similar. Catches the ball well. The bar to Luke is prioritized this kid. So it doesn't matter what my best case is. I think this kid in Texas or, or one A and one B in a sense. And so, now they told him this, and during this last day, hey, you need to be ready to come in and play immediately. If you, if you pick Texas, we, we expect from the running backs standpoint for you to be ready.

And so that's what he wanted to hear. And I think it's going to be a Texas Oregon, Tennessee, Michigan, S battle. In the next guy in this best class. This is where Oregon and Texas are going to trade running backs. So Oregon took cadarious McMillor, the Tyler Hightailback that ran a 1031, a couple of weeks ago at 208 pounds for the love of God. Land of Williams, Calis is a guy that Texas or Oregon would have to almost split. But A&M is the one you really, really got to watch there. But listen, we're talking about land in Williams, Calis. Three months ago, we couldn't even have this, we could have a best case scenario class. And it wouldn't have been believable to get LWC. It's believable now. Charlie, tell him why this kid is going to be so good at the next level. And why I had to have him as my lightning and thunder in my best class. Yeah, man, look, Land of Williams, Calis, he's doing all running back. Like he's a home run through a hip bounce off tackle. He's,

he may be smaller statue, but that's, he runs like he's way bigger than what he's listed. I tell you that he can run between titles. He can run outside. He can catch out the backfield. Well, he may return the kickoff. Like he does it all for Richmond Randolph. He's, he's, he's phenomenal. We may not go, we may not go east, but we'll go south and west to get him running back. And so Land of Williams, Calis is definitely a, he's a phenomenal target. I mean, I don't know what else you can say about it. I think Joe Mission of the day is highlight tape is over 10 minutes. Like who else has that? He's more than just a main bishop. What do you mean? Jermaine Bishop is the only comparison I have. The only one, right? And so it's, it's phenomenal. Like he has that much film out there that long of a high light tape. And so, yeah, man. I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I'm not worried about people. You know, Sam, I'll Richmond running him into the ground. And it kind of compared him to a lead or running back and stuff like that. But I don't see that with this kid. Plus when he gets to Texas, you have a counterpart or two to kind of help shoulder the load. And so, I don't know. I love Williams, Calis. And he just, I'm going to run it back. It does it all. Hey, the head coach at Randall Brian Randall is not going to run the tires off the

tread off that kid. He understands that kid has a bright future. They've already won one state championship. They're going to try to make a run at another one for his senior. Year coach Randall does an amazing job with that program. Landing Williams. Calis is going to arrive on a college campus. Exactly how he needs to be. Tip you kept coach Randall. Williams David brings it as always. Measureables are always a factor. But 57 and a half doesn't appear to be a problem. No, it didn't at all. When you got 20 minutes of highlights. And you know, when I'm thinking about the Jonathan Gray comparison. Part of me wonders because I don't know. Like, how much tough running was Jonathan Gray doing? How much was he going like between the tackles and doing stuff? I know he had so many big games. But how many of his runs, you know, and with contact? Whereas we're watching a 20 minute highlight where landing Williams Calis is just out running everybody. You know, like that's something I think about. And hey, all these football players have to run in. And if you were concerned about landing Williams, Calis is going to be a great player. All these football players have to run in.

And if you were concerned about landing Williams, Calis being someone who had a little bit, you know, mad too much dreaded, and you should have been concerned about Jonathan Brooks. And I know, you know, he tours ACL and injuries happen in football. But like Jonathan Brooks did not seem to be hampered. When he got detectives by the fact that, you know, he had done so much for those Bellville teams. I know Williams David knows about those Bellville teams. Not Bellville. Excuse me. How let's feel. God. I was about to get every check person in Texas mad at me. But you know, if if if if Lane Williams Calis is just running away from people. I'm not super concerned about like tread on the tires. It's not just running away from people. He's not easy to tackle. That's my thing. Like kids usually that size. They're not. They're not as compact as he is. And so they're a little bit easier. Once you get them like in the space, you can, you know, get them down. This is a guy that can bounce off of guys.

He has got some legs. He's got some quads. LWC is going to be a very productive running back in college. NFL remains to be seen, but that's three, four years away anyway. I may sound old, but we never worried about tread on tires back in the day. Our everybody ran the football out of our formation. You got the college. You ran for another 3,300. I carry his pair of seats and then he went to the NFL. Nobody even talked about having a second running back. So I feel like it's a new thing to pass. It is. You know, it doesn't matter. And the football fans be football is what it did. Right. And hey, it's a smart thing, but you know, it, when you have that market, basically set it for them. Who did? Running back, the running backs, the way that when they went to committee, it was because they felt like they were expendable and they could spend less to get more. So the running, the running back market basically shaped the committee that we see from most NFL and college teams. Right. And it's also just to put a point on this. Like everybody at the NFL is at a certain level.

To where if you're in college, if you have a standout running back, it could be a big difference maker. Yes. And you have the confidence of one. If it's it is a different game. Why receiver? You went with three and a half. And we'll get to why you have that half. But you have three that you feel pretty confident. And it would make, would make up part of a best class scenario. One of them is already committed to Texas. That is Eastern Royal. We talk about must gets. Must gets can also be must keeps. And that's Eastern Royal. I like it. You said it. You said it best must keep. Absolutely. David Williams actually posted an old 100 time. And you know what? See, that's, that's what makes my heart hurt. David, that hurts my heart because if you were at inside Texas, you would know this young man ran a 10 to 6 last month. Okay. And he's going to get him a 10 more. That's an hurt. That was in like late February, early March, which really gets to April May. And it's warm. Royal is going to run like Lord. Like this dude is good.

You just got to keep him in the boat. Yeah. Charlie, what do you think about the next one? Because I think this next kid is going to be in this class. You tell me what you think because you actually have heard all. You've heard some stuff on the on the back burner about Texas and throw it. Yeah. Look, throw is underrated. Under ranked. I'm telling you this kid for six three. He's not your typical big just jump ball receiver like he can run. Look, he can catch you. Go get the ball. He can run almost every route. I think about time springs over. He's going to be a high four star. I think everybody's going to be about north for you. Try to recruit him and get him in some schools already are out of state. But look, he doesn't want to go far away from home, right? And you got, he has a great relationship with Chris Gilbert. He got one with Chris Jackson. Yep. Every high school coach around the FW area say, hey, throw us the one that you got a game plan for. He's hard to cover. You can put two guys on him. Kind of get the putt return coverage on you got two guys that they're trying to guard him on Friday nights. And you still can't shut him down. So, like I said, underrated. Underrated.

But he's definitely going rather to recruiting boards and not tell you this. I mean, look, Ohio State is making a push trying to come out to them very, very hard. They want him. And look, they won't take that lightly. Ohio State doesn't come to Texas. Often when they do, they come out there. They come out to a true guy. Throw us that. So, but I think Texas is in a really good spot. All the relationships are there. Chris, like I said, we're Chris Gilbert and coach Jackson. So, I think this kid ends up a long point at the end of the day. And I think he fits on the other side of Eastern Royal perfectly. Before we keep going, got to show some love to our sponsor real quick. And that is. Rowback go use that code inside 20. At rowback.com. 20% for all new customers. You get Texas Longhorns apparel. I'm getting emails from them every day. They're gearing up for a good PGA tour season. And you know what's just around the corner. You'll see a lot of commercials for that. If you're watching the NCAA tournament, the Masters will be here. They got all the flowers, all the green, everything you need. But they got Longhorns gear. They've got polos for all your favorite cities, I believe.

R-H-O-D-A-C-K dot com. And as I get this back up on the screen, the third receiver as part of as part of the 3.5 is Amari Stevens. He's a Miami commit and fast, fast, fast, fast. Fast, fast, fast. This is the best case fun part of this type of exercise. Because I think it's going to be very, very difficult for anybody to flip Stevens for Miami. Right now, Miami is probably a top three recruiting program in the country. They are moving and shaking and they are spending dough and they are doing it. They're doing it pretty smart. And so, yeah, the hurricanes are back that.

That's going to be tough. But listen, this is my best case because I'll tell you this. You got throw on one side, you got roll on the other and you put Stevens in the slot. But you're cooking with grease. This kid is just electric. I don't understand his ranking because he is shown enough in the camp scene in the 7 on 17. In addition to the stuff he did at Shama Dodd, Madonna, he's seen all that stuff. I don't understand why he's not a little bit bigger. Maybe he's because he's light in the bridges. I think he can be rerouted a little bit sometimes like that. But a kid with that sort of start and stop. Suddenness, explosiveness. That is what that's what guys look for. And I think that's the best case scenario is they could land this kid. I don't think they will and that's why we went to a 0.5. And I'm going to dial it to Charlie on this one. Which one, if Stevens can't flip, you got to take one of these two. And it's nothing personal. Which one of these kids would you get? Well, just to finish about, you know, Mr. Mari up there.

I think he's human joystick. But we're talking about people who range main vision by the four stars. So I'll just go off that. You know that. So box a little bit. But. Hey, look. Out of these two. This is tough. You can't lose. Tramore is your big NFL type receiver 638. You look at him in Floregarville. We type schoolman. He's catching multiple touchdowns and gay. I think he finished from like 18 last season. So he should big NFL type receiver who can run all the routes. Has good speed. But eight of Stalin. It's a polished receiver who can run all the routes. Has great speed. He's committed to Georgia, right? So I mean, Georgia didn't come to Texas. Just grab any type of receiver. Eat. If I had to pay, I probably go starring because I feel like he's more polished and understands route running a little bit better. Or the nuances of maybe an offense. But Tramore down the street, man. I don't know. Perhaps you know how to disarm the team up or calling whoever you, again, I think you're happy with the end of the day. Hey, the starling was the one guy that could not be covered at the Robles Houston camp. This kind of dovetails into this question from a Manchester redies. And J.P.W.

1972 on the boards. Y'all mentioned at wider sievers. and speaks to what we think of him. But is there anybody else whether from positions we talked about or maybe some positions down the road that, you know, on offense could fit into what Manchester Red's talking about? Hey, Joe, I got one, but you gotta say, you gotta talk about it because you, because you helped me, we confirmed his OV, Lucas Rojas. Man, I don't know a whole lot about him. I know he's got a lot of SEC teams after him. I think he's from Orange, Lutheran out in California. That's where Mark is pocket two was. Yeah, and I, so it's obvious that Texas is trying to spread a pretty wide net when it comes to offensive line. They know that they know the bread is gonna be buttered in Gilmer, but they're going coast to coast, looking at some other spots. I think that's a good one. I think, you know, of all the positions and granted, just because you take a lot of them in one class year

or year over year, you get a lot of offensive lineman to sign. So you have to spread your net out pretty far and wide. We'll see. I think, you know, really seeing who comes in and values those visits and some of the like big competition that they have to face for those visits is kind of determined that. Roa, though, is someone who, again, coast to coast. If you look at some of the articles about him over on rivals, Florida's in there. You can see, you know, also some west coast in Pacific time zone, mountain times zones, but it was like Arizona, Washington there too. So you see LA trying to be a factor. Hey, Charlie's got a couple, but they're on the defensive side. Charlie would give you a dose of Braden booth. He would take him right now. I would. I think it would. And how about that safety out of sock? I say, I say, that's another one. He's on a curly, unrate, but he won't be unrate forever. Yeah. And that's on the defensive side. So Manchester, when we see you on the flip side and inside Texas tomorrow morning, we'll talk a little bit more. I'll add some coach Williams and I'll add some

underrated guys that maybe that might be a story that coach and I put together here pretty quick. Justin got to add the tie to end in the class. We got one we have one to talk about right now. It's JT, Geraci, Don Bosco prep out of New Jersey, committed pretty short order. And Texas has a nice little foothold and a very talented nor I'll call it Northeastern program. Yeah, you know, here's the thing they're going to get to. This is one of those cycles where we know they're guaranteeing taking two guys. They're going to lose a couple more. It's time to restock the cover. Geraci was an early eval that I think, Jeff Banks and Kyle Flood and Steve Sarkeesian saw and they see, honestly, I see a more athletic gunner helm. I see a more, a less tight, a less stiff gunner helm in Geraci. I don't know about the blocking, it'll be there. He's got some of the inline blocking, but that's something that's going to have to be developed. But he's already in the class. So that means that's your floor.

So guess who the ceiling is. And I'll tip, I'll turn it to Mike to come to Williams. Yeah, look, I think he has a great last name to start off with. But Brock is, man, that's a doing all tight end. I hate, I don't want to compare, but he looks like a Georgia tight end. He looks like he lost his luck. Yes, he does. Everybody else that they have run through Georgia, right? There's no coincidence that that's who's recruiting him, heavily, right? And so that's what he looks like. I mean, this is a doing all tight end. This is your stud. I know everybody's been looking for every class. Can we get an inline blocking tight end with somebody who can flex out? That's Brock Williams. He can do it all. And so he's the complete tight end. I think we haven't had one of those in a long time. And so that is your guy. That is your guy. Connor be happy because he'll block somebody to the Wilson and drop him out of bounds. And then he has flex him out and go deep. So I love Brock Williams. I love his tape. I love what he can do. And he's from the North. So those guys, when it gets cold, they run the ball of North. And you have to be able to block. And so. Hey, and also about broccoli, you got to understand

the, for Texas fans, the longer this recruitment plays out, the better chance I think Texas has here. You know, George Ohio State had the really, really early momentum. I think Wilfong even put in a RPM super early for Ohio State. Then George grabbed that momentum for a minute. Texas is last trip to Texas when he came to the basketball game. There's, there's, there's some good vibes there. And you know, he's consistently telling us, hey, he's getting ready. You know why I think he, he wants to be ready. But I think Texas is giving him way too much to think about. And brother, that's all recruiting is. We'll move to offensive line. You got a five band class. Number one in that class. It's my El Camaro. No surprise here. What more can we say, you know? He's the French freak. They got to, they got to play. Let the girl run this year. I probably shouldn't even say this where he's got to, don't give away the buck, guys. He's going to be the corner. He's going to be the quarterback to go and call it French horn. Oh my god. He'll also probably place them outside linebacker.

Maybe some safety. They're talking about maybe giving him some looks at Nickel. The truth is with Camaro, he can do a little bit of everything. He's just an untapped, moldable piece of clay. 342 pounds as of Sunday afternoon. Just a great kid. We talk so much about him. And I probably gush too much. But here's the thing, he could wind up at a number of these places. Texas, Oregon, LSU, and A&M. Honestly, if it's going to be four schools, I think it's going to be one of those four schools. You could throw Georgia in there because of his connection to Chip Smith. But I don't think that's going to be a decision thing. But man, this really does look well for Texas. They just have to stay the course and just keep doing what they're doing because this kid is probably going to play as a true freshman. And I think he will have a similar impact that Michael Fesusti had at Oklahoma last year. I see that. You move to the interior with the next one in Charlie. This is a prospect and read Ramsey

or that coach flood went out and checked on himself over in Orlando. And you know, OK, Justin, you know, we're joking about this. Who's the guard? Who's the guard? People are going to be asking about that. Well, it's a pretty darn good guard to put your eyes on if you're Texas. Yeah, he's not taking notice of this or creeping back around both. He's in, you know, no Texas play in the chiefs of both in Orlando where he's from. And Kaplan took a return trip out there. You know, even when he's in your frequent fly or maybe flying to Orlando, unless you got a guy, right? I don't think Flo is going to hang out in Orlando much. Unless he wants to take the grandkids or kids to Disney World. But to the fact that he went back, did an in-home visit with Reed, says a lot. And I kind of put him on my radar then when he went to take the visit. So I know he got him as a playing tackle there in the camp. I think he projects as an insight. He's a guard, he's a guard all the way. He's a guard that has some flexibility to kick out similar to one of the next guys we need to talk about. Yeah, right? There you go. That was a back-to-back one right for you. Go.

Look, Mr. Swanson, and I wrote a little bit about him, his connection with his coach and his trainer at Cal Flood and relationships there in the BFW area. But look, it's wasn't that when the MVP, look, you can take him in a right tackle. He probably played a lap tackle for most teams if you didn't get Isaiah Cameras. He's telling that he can do it all. I think one of his first clips I love about him and he's 50 yards down the field blocking and running and celebrating like, you don't see that kind of athleticism out of a guy that big. He's near six seven, maybe 330 pounds down, but man, I love Swanson, I love his demeanor. I love everything about this kid. And he needs to be a horn today. You know what I love about him? I think he really wants it. And the more we do this, I think some kids kind of go through the motions at times. I think their minds get cloudy when a number of offers and coaches start contacting them. And so sometimes the main thing gets a little off track. To me, Brian Swanson has always been a guy that really wants it. He's very, he picks his words carefully. He competes at any position he's asked to do. Brian Swanson's gonna be a long horn

and that's the reason it's this orange house in there. We thought it was already gonna happen. And you know what, Brian, you take your time. Moving on, gotta go to the interior, the center take from the DFW area. That is Peyton Miller. And this is, again, another one of the many Texas versus Texas tech battles going on in this cycle. You know what, I saw David Williams put something about Creed Humphrey type of center. And you know, Beaton Ball was on it. I saw it wasn't hard. I covered him. That reason. Well, that reason, man, Peyton Miller, he's a, look, it's another guy. He plays wherever he'd need a fan of. Sometimes he's a left tackle. Sometimes he's a guard. Sometimes he's at center. He's wherever they need to be. But he's really bought into plan center. Him and Coach Kaplan have built a great relationship. He loves the fact that at center, you get to make out a call. You're the leader of the offense line. He's very cerebral, tough kid. And then, Peyton, she can play a different position, but you see him in a dominant center at Texas who will play day one once he gets there. Yeah. I think that's a Texas, Texas tech battle, too, man. Hey, I think he could play center in the NFL. I really do. I think he has that kind of upside.

We're going to Basha High School for the second time on this list to go get Jake Hilda Brand from Noah Roberts School blocking for Noah Roberts out there in Arizona. We know that Texas, the other guys we mentioned on, or that you mentioned on your Jimmy K list was just on campus for unofficial Jasper and Goffwer. Very interested in Texas. But Hilda Brand is who you put your eyes on for this best. I work with Hilda Brand not only because he's highly ranked, but because I think he might be one of the safest prospects to take in this class. No matter where he plays college football, he's going to start and he's going to be really good. That kid's tape is as clean as it gets. He's a technician, he's smart, he's got good weight, he's not going to come in with bad habits. And I like the fact that Texas stays close to him. I don't know, this is the best case for us because I think Jasper is, his, I think his stock is going to continue to rise. And once we get past OV season, I think you're going to see schools pushing him. Callus, we're still trying to get a better read on for the most part.

But with Hilda Brand, you talk about a safe pick. Like if you were going down the line of guys, you could say, okay, I guarantee you, this guy will start from college and be successful. J. Kilda Brand is going to be one of the first ones off. Yeah, absolutely. Should be, hey, I like this class a lot, which we had a little bit of a tool to use to see where it would rank just with the offense. But this is always a fun exercise. Good stuff for Mid-March, right? When we're getting into a visit season. Well, they're defense probably tomorrow, but I like this as a good start from Antoine, Cam Hall, Brain Booth, Kasai Curry, Jason Johnson, J. Nelson, Kate Hall, greedy James, Monterey Jackson, John Meredith, and Trenton Blaylock. Hey, throw me some Jeremiah Cole Pepper in there. Yeah, J. Nelson. Because they need to stock up on linebackers. I'm actually working on the defense of best case for tomorrow's morning post. So all you fans come check it out and read it at InsideTexas.com.
