Texas Football Recruiting: Dual-threat quarterback receives offer from Longhorns

Four-star quarterback Conner Weigman picked up a Texas offer on Thursday. The Longhorns will be trying to replace five-star Quinn Ewers.

Entering the season, it seemed as if quarterback was not going to be an issue in Texas’ 2022 recruiting class. Five-star Quinn Ewers was committed and possibly taking the Longhorns’ program to a different level.

A couple of mistakes later, Tom Herman lost the generational talent to the Ohio State Buckeyes. A lifelong Horns fan, Ewers, will be the next example of elite prospects leaving the state of Texas.

Luckily, the state still has two elite quarterback prospects the Longhorns can duke it out for. Cade Klubnik is a four-star pro-style quarterback out of Westlake High School.

On Thursday, dual-threat quarterback Conner Weigman joined the mix. Weigman is a four-star prospect, and Texas will be heavily invested in trying to sign both.

Michigan State Football lands first 2022 commitment in 2022 OG Kristian Phillips

Michigan State landed their first commitment of the 2022 class on Sunday when Kristian “Big Dooley” Phillips committed to the Spartans.

I think that Mel Tucker knew that his new Michigan State Football fanbase needed some positive news this weekend.

After putting the finishing touches on his 2021 recruiting class, it looks like coach Tucker is ready to get started on his 2022 class. His first commit? Offensive guard Kristian “Big Dooley” Phillips.

The Spartans offered Phillips back in August and that offer bore fruit for MSU on Sunday when Phillips announced his commitment on Twitter.

Phillips, who is from Conyers, Georgia, is currently unranked by 247Sports and only has Division I offers from Arizona State and Delaware State, but this looks to be a situation where offensive line coach Chris Kapilovic saw something he liked in the Salem High School lineman and wanted to secure his commitment early. That very likely could be related to his size. Phillips is 6’4″, 310-pounds, fitting the profile of the type of player the Spartans have been recruiting under Tucker.

Here is Phillips’ commitment announcement:

WATCH: Texas commit Quinn Ewers in action on Thursday

Top recruit for the Texas Longhorns, Quinn Ewers was in action Thursday night. Check out his highlights from the blowout win.

On Thursday night the No. 1 recruit in the 2022 class and Texas Longhorns commit Quinn Ewers was in action. Ewers and the Southlake Carroll Dragons were in action against Trophy Club Byron Nelson. All eyes have been on Ewers for good reason. 247Sports rankings have him as the top quarterback and recruit in the country. Composite rankings have him as No. 2, but regardless he is a talent that everyone wants to see play.

Ewers is going to be an absolute joy to watch for the fan base and fans of quarterback play in general. On the night he accounted for 242 yards of total offense and four touchdowns. With Sam Ehlinger on the way out of Austin after this season in all likeliness, the future with Hudson Card, Ja’Quinden Jackson and Quinn Ewers is going to be fun to watch over the next few years.
