Dickerson becomes the sixth cornerback to receive an offer from the Longhorns. He is also the third-highest rated cornerback to receive an offer from Texas. According to his 247 profile, he is projected to sign with his home state Cornhuskers per Crystal Ball predictions. The Longhorns are his 15th offer and his third from the Big 12 (Kansas State, Iowa State).

Texas Longhorns Offer 2021 Four-Star Safety

The Texas Longhorns have made their fourth offer to a four-star safety of the 2021 recruiting class. Kaine Williams of Marrero, Louisiana.

The third-rated safety in the state of Louisiana, Kaine Williams has picked up an offer from the University of Texas. Williams becomes the fourth safety to be offered a scholarship from Texas and the highest rated of the four. Williams could come in and challenge for playing time immediately.

Williams is a ball-hawk that the Longhorns defense could definitely use to help out their defense. He can be dangerous after the change of possession as he looks to score and a very solid tackler as well. Most analysts are projecting him to Louisiana State but it would be a huge get for Tom Herman if they could sway the safety to patrol the secondary in Austin.

Texas Longhorns Offer 2021 Four-Star Running Back

Edwards marks the sixth running back that Texas has extended an offer to. Phil Mafah is the only one who has committed elsewhere. The other five have yet to make a commitment.

It is hard to fathom that Edwards will go with Texas over his top three with Bijan Robinson (the nation’s top-rated 2020 back) on his way to the Forty Acres.

Notre Dame Offers Three Tuesday – First Up is ’21 Georgia Defensive End

Notre Dame becomes the 19th program to offer a scholarship with Florida, Florida State, Miami, Michigan, Michigan State and Nebraska being a few of the biggest programs in on the defensive end

Notre Dame’s 2021 recruiting class is off to a solid start offensively but has lacked bodies on the defensive side, having just one commit in the current seven body class.

Brian Kelly and the Irish appear to be trying to change that as a flurry of scholarship offers were made to 2021 defensive linemen on Tuesday.

Joshua Robinson, a 6-4, 225 pound weakside defensive end from Douglas County High School in Douglas, Georgia posted to Twitter about the latest scholarship he was offered on Tuesday morning.

Rivals ranks Robinson as the 18th best weakside defensive end in the 2021 recruiting class while Notre Dame becomes the 19th program to offer a scholarship with Florida, Florida State, Miami, Michigan, Michigan State and Nebraska being a few of the biggest programs in on the defensive end.

Former Oklahoma commit Brock Vandagriff commits to Georgia

Lincoln Riley lost 2021 5-star quarterback prospect, Brock Vandagriff, to Georgia after Vandagriff committed to Oklahoma this past summer.

You win some, you lose some but the Sooners still have a few tricks up their sleeve.

Lincoln Riley lost 2021 5-star quarterback prospect, Brock Vandagriff, to Georgia after Vandagriff committed to Oklahoma this past summer. Vandagriff de-committed from the Sooners a few weeks ago citing the distance from his family in Georgia as one of the main concerns.

The No. 1 2021 quarterback announced his decision to stay home via his Twitter. Vandagriff is from Bogart, Ga., just 20 minutes west of Athens where the University of Georgia is located.

Riley will have to move his focus to another five-star quarterback, Caleb Williams. Williams is the No. 1 dual-threat signal-caller in the 2021 class and is slotted just one spot behind Vandagriff nationally at No. 5.

With the signing of Chandler Morris for the 2020 class and the current quarterbacks on campus in Tanner Mordecai and Spencer Rattler, Riley is sure to find the future of the program with his star-studded track record.

Notre Dame Football Offers ’21 5-Star Texas Defensive End

Wednesday night saw the Fighting Irish make an offer to one of the most sought-after defensive ends in the country for the 2021 recruiting class.

Brian Kelly spoke ahead of the Camping World Bowl that Notre Dame was ready to start taking an extra step in recruiting. Kelly pretty much stated he saw it as good, but far from elite.

Well, winning the commitment of a new target of the Irish would be a step towards elite.

Wednesday night saw Kelly and the Fighting Irish make an offer to one of the most sought-after defensive ends in the country for the 2021 recruiting class.

Tunmise Adeleye is a five-star defensive end per 247Sports and a four-star by the Rivals rankings and is the latest player to receive a full-ride scholarship offer to Notre Dame.

Whichever the case, both rank him in the top 50 players in the class of 2021 as he checks in at 26 on 247Sports and 43 on Rivals.

Adeleye would be a massive get for the Irish who still have just one defensive commitment in their highly-regarded 2021 class.

As you’d expect, all of the traditional big dogs are in pursuit of Adeleye as the likes of Alabama, Auburn, Florida, LSU, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M and plenty of others have already offered the 6-4, 255 pound defensive end.

The Katy, Texas (Hopkins) product has as an impressive amount of highlights just like you’d expect that can be found on his MaxPreps Page.
