LSU offers Texas A&M transfer offensive lineman

LSU has extended an offer to another player in the transfer portal.

LSU has extended an offer to another player in the transfer portal. This time it is an offensive lineman from Texas A&M.

[autotag]Remington Strickland[/autotag] is a 6-foot-4, 300-pound offensive lineman from Sugar Land, Texas. He was a member of the 2021 recruiting class and was rated as a three-star out of high school. He redshirted his first year in College Station before appearing in two games as a redshirt freshman and seven games as a redshirt sophomore.

Strickland is a guy who can play at any position on the offensive line. He could come in and provide immediate depth at every position if he chooses to play for LSU. The Tigers have five offensive line commitments for the 2024 recruiting class already but those are all high school recruits.

[autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] is always looking to improve the team via the transfer portal no matter what position it is.

Hopefully, Kelly can land a few players from A&M in the portal.

According to the man himself, Texas A&M offensive lineman Remington Strickland has entered the transfer portal.

Texas A&M’s 2023 season, outside of the Aggies’ impending bowl game, has ended, and after the recent hiring of new head coach Mike Elko, a new era of Aggie Football has begun. With multiple staff changes already taking place, the transfer portal has begun to take shape concerning both departures and incoming additions.

After the news that quarterback Max Johnson and wide receiver Raymond Cottrell entered the portal, Johnson has already committed to North Carolina. At the same time, Cottrell has already received a ton of interest from various Power 5 programs. Joining both players, offensive lineman Remington Strickland has officially entered the portal after two seasons in College Station.

Remington Strickland is entering his redshirt freshman season as a reserve/backup center for Texas A&M, focused on continuing to develop at his new position on the offensive line after redshirting during the 2021 season. Strickland was a multi-sport athlete at Fort Bend Christian Academy in Sugar Land, Texas, participating in track and field (shot put and discus) as well as football, where he predominantly played right tackle during his high school career.

Due to his size, athleticism, and general football intellect, A move to the center position was the best possible decision for his football future, able to continue learning the position, as well as provide depth in the trenches going into the 2022 season.

Depth Chart Overview

Remington Strickland is currently projected as a rotational/backup center on the offensive line in Texas A&M’s pro-style offense, led by head coach, Jimbo Fisher, and offensive coordinator, Darrell Dickey. His current place on the depth chart is behind the backup center, Matthew Wykoff (Redshirt Freshman), and starting center, Bryce Foster (Sophomore).

Strickland’s relentless play style and determination are what set him apart during the recruiting process. He has a solid frame at 6-4, 295lbs with the arms of a bodybuilder, with plenty of room to add mass, but moves very well at his current size. As a run blocker, Strickland is an absolute bully showing great footwork, strong hands, and speed as he makes his way to the second level, finishing his blocks at a high rate.

In pass protection, Stickland shoots out his stance with good balance while showing enough lateral quickness, and a decent first punch, but due to his high school competition lacking the talent that he will see eventually see in the SEC, he will need to continue working on his technique and basic fundamentals. Overall, look for Remington Strickland to continue developing at the center position in the upcoming summer and fall camps.

2021 OL Remington Strickland chooses A&M over Texas, Oklahoma

On Friday, after receiving news that their center commit was re-opening his recruiting, the Longhorns lost on another 2021 target.

Not exactly the Friday that the Texas Longhorns were hoping to have just days head of the early signing period for the 2021 recruiting class. Following the decommitment of 2021 center, the Longhorns also lost out on one of their targets in Remington Strickland to their former rivals in Texas A&M. A rough day for offensive line coach Herb Hand.

Strickland is the No. 8 center in the country out of Fort Bend Christian Academy. He had his top schools set with A&M, Texas, the Oklahoma Sooners, and the Michigan Wolverines. Cross another name off the list for the Longhorns in the final days before national signing day.

In a statement on Twitter, Remington wrote about his decision.

First and foremost, I want to thank God for all of his gifts. He has given me life. Nothing is possible in life without him. I want to thank all of my family and friends for always supporting me through everything. I also want to say thank you to Coach Black, and all of my coaches at Fort Bend Christian for helping me become not only a better play, but a better man. This recruiting process has been such a blessing and it’s a great journey since [my] freshman year. I want to thank every coach that has recruited me these past 4 years and every school that offered me a scholarship. To all my supporters, I want to thank you. To all my haters, I’m even more thankful. This was a very difficult decision, but I have made up my mind. With that being said, I am excited to announce that I am committing to Texas A&M University.

After missing out on their top three targeted centers in the 2021 class, it has become more evident that the Texas Longhorns need much better than what Herb Hand can offer.

Texas Football Recruiting: Five 2021 prospects the Longhorns need to push for next

Despite the recent success, the 2021 class has still not been good enough from Herman. Here are five recruits Texas should push for next:

To some surprise, recruiting in the 2021 class has been good for Tom Herman and the Texas Longhorns. Beginning with Terrence Cooks, Texas was able to secure his commitment over schools such as Baylor, LSU, and Georgia. A four-star outside linebacker, Cooks and Morice Blackwell will lock down the position for Chris Ash in the near future.

More recently, the Longhorns were able to flip defensive tackle Byron Murphy II out of DeSoto, Texas. Originally committed to Baylor, after Texas offered the four-star prospect, the recruitment suddenly changed. Much needed help across the defensive line is on its way with Murphy.

Despite the recent success, the 2021 class has still not been good enough from Herman. Losing out on major players such as the Brockermeyer brothers and seeing Jalen Milroe flip to Alabama, Texas has lost its top prospects throughout the entire cycle.

As Joel Klatt of FOX Sports mentioned, the Longhorns have “lost that luster in the state.” Other schools such as Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas A&M have stolen recruits from Texas.

That “certainly wasn’t the case when Mack [Brown] was winning a lot of games” said Klatt.

Herman still has the opportunity to flip all of that around with a couple of top in-state prospects still available. The Aggies and the Sooners are in these races as well, making them even more important for the coaching staff to win.

Here are the five 2021 recruits Texas should push for next:
