LSU makes the top 11 for 4-star safety

Xavier Filsaime, a 2024 safety prospect from Texas, cut his list down to 11 on Saturday.

[autotag]Xavier Filsaime[/autotag] released his top 11 schools list and the LSU Tigers made the cut. LSU joins SMU, Baylor, Florida State, Georgia, USC, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, TCU, and Oregon.

Filsaime stars for the McKinney Lions in McKinney, Texas. The Lions finished their 2022 campaign 8-5 with a loss to Southlake Carroll in the third round of the playoffs. SMU is currently the favorite to land the 2024 four-star safety at 32% by On3.

He has no crystal ball projections at this time.

LSU currently has eight commitments for the 2024 class (including one from Texas). Their class is the No. 1 ranked class in the country right now. Brian Kelly has brought in one outstanding recruiting class so far and he is working on another great one as early national signing day nears for the 2023 class.

Meanwhile, the Tigers are preparing for their bowl game as they will play the Purdue Boilermakers in the Citrus Bowl on Jan. 2.

Oklahoma Sooners offers four-star safety out of Texas Aaron Flowers

Oklahoma goes back to Texas as they offer four-star DB Aaron Flowers out of Forney.

The safety position has been a position that has struggled this season in the new defensive system brought over by Brent Venables and Ted Roof. Safeties coach Brandon Hall has had to work around his most consistent player, Billy Bowman missing extended time due to injury. Every week has been an adventure at the safety spot, and Hall is just trying to find the right guys to fit the system.

On the recruiting trail Hall has cast an extremely wide net to many safeties across the country. His latest offer went out to Forney, Texas, for four-star safety Aaron Flowers. Flowers stands 6-foot-1 and displays positional versatility. He was a first-team all-district cornerback in 2021.

Flowers is a top 250 player nationally, but is by no means a finished product. His versatility and ability to play corner and safety gives him some upside. Brent Venables loves his defensive backs to have flexibility in his multiple-defensive scheme.

Oklahoma Sooners offer 2024 4-star Houston product Damani Maxson

Oklahoma Sooners extend an offer to 2024 four-star safety Damani Maxson out of Houston Clear Lake.

The Oklahoma Sooners hosted a plethora of athletes on campus this past weekend. One of those unofficial visitors was [autotag]Damani Maxson[/autotag], a four-star safety out of Houston Clear Lake. During the visit, the Oklahoma Sooners extended an offer to the 2024 prospect.

Maxson shows good awareness in coverage, an understanding of his zone responsibilities, and can carry players down the field. He’s a strong tackler, wrapping up on nearly every occasion. The four-star safety product has a good feel for play development. He uses his eyes on the quarterback to see where the throw is going before the quarterback ever releases the football. Damani Maxson is a good special teams player, showing up on kickoff and punt coverage and as a returner for Clear Lake.

We’re just under two years out from 2024 national signing day and the Georgia Bulldogs appear to be the early leaders for Damani Maxson. According to On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine, the Bulldogs have an 87.1% chance of landing the four-star safety. But that doesn’t mean Brandon Hall, [autotag]Brent Venables[/autotag], and the Oklahoma Sooners will go quietly into the night. Maxson will pick up a lot more offers over the next two years, making for a crowded recruitment.
