Tag: Derion Gullette

Texas A&M has made yet another final list for one of the most athletic and versatile defensive prospects in the 2023 recruiting class, Linebacker Derion Gullette. according to 247Sports, he is positioned as the 24th-ranked player in Texas, and the 16th-ranked EDGE prospect in the country. Gullette’s top three teams that he will focus on at the final stages of his recruitment are Ohio State, Texas, and Texas A&M.

Going into his senior season at Marlin High School in Marlin, Texas, Gullette played wide receiver on offense, tallying 64 receptions for 1,458 yards and 14 touchdowns, while rushing for 13 carries for 74 yards and 4 rushing touchdowns. As an outside linebacker on defense, he recorded 125 total tackles, 3 sacks, 5 tackles for loss, 2 interceptions, and 4 pass deflections on the year. Gullette was also a contributor on special teams as the starting punter and kickoff specialist, punting 30 times for 1343 yards with a long of 62 yards.

So far, Derion Gullette has made official visits to Ohio State on June 10th, and Texas on June 24th, while making 7 total unofficial visits to College Station since last June which on the surface looks to give the Aggies an edge, although Texas is the current favorite according to multiple recruiting sites.

In a scouting report I wrote for Derrion Gullette, I described his ability on the field:

As a prospect, Gullette’s film is just plain fun to watch; catching the ball, intercepting the ball, kicking the ball, and tackling, so yes, the man can literally do it all. As an outside linebacker, he is patient in coverage, shows adequate lateral quickness, and has great ball skills paired with a nice closing burst after reading the route. He is a high-level tackler and an instant threat to outside run concepts due to his speed and athleticism, mostly coming from his snaps at wide receiver. Overall, Derion Gullette has the makeup to become an instant contributor to whatever school he chooses.

All the Texas A&M staff can do now is keep communicating with Derion Gullette and stay patient, and while making the final list doesn’t guarantee a commitment, it does entail that the recruiting process has done its job, and the Aggies continue to make lasting impressions on some top prospects in the 2023 class.

I want to thank all the coaches that have been recruiting throughout this process and that has believed in me and my talents! But with that being said, these are the schools that I’m focusing on! pic.twitter.com/I7cXrJzliJ
