Texas Football Recruiting: Four-star wide receiver puts Longhorns in top eight

Four-star wide receiver J.J. Henry has released his top eight, with UT making the cut. TCU is the only other Big 12 school to make the cut.

One thing Texas has been trying to add to its 2021 class has been another receiver. Specifically an in-state one. Three-stars Jaden Alexis and Casey Cain are the two wideouts in the class, but they are from Florida and Louisiana, respectively.

Four-star J.J. Henry out of McKinney, Texas, could be the answer for the Longhorns. During his junior season, Henry recorded 71 receptions for 1,419 yards and 16 touchdowns.

Texas has made the DFW area standout’s top eight list. TCU is the only other Big 12 school to make the cut, and in-state schools SMU and Texas A&M are still in contention.

Former Texas target Tunmise Adeleye decommits from Ohio State

Texas could be back in play for DE Tunmise Adeleye after his decommitment from Ohio State. He is a four-star prospect in the 2021 class.

Texas could be back in play for defensive end Tunmise Adeleye after his decommitment from Ohio State. A four-star prospect in the 2021 class, Adeleye is originally from Katy, Texas. He transferred for his senior season, playing at IMG Academy in Florida.

In his tweet, Adeleye thanked the Buckeyes’ coaching staff for “taking [him] in as one of their own since the day [he] committed.”

“This experience has been nothing but a good one and I have nothing but love for Coach Johnson on my end,” said Adeleye.

While he never gave a reason for decommitting from Ohio State, it may be because of the options the Buckeyes has in the 2021 class. Defensive end Jack Sawyer, the No. 3 player in the country, is currently committed to Ohio State.

To add on, the No. 2 player in the country, J.T. Tuimoloau, is 92% to Ohio State on 247Sports crystal ball. There would simply be too many skilled players in a single recruiting class for Adeleye to compete against.

Now, Texas can try to rebuild a relationship with a recruit who has publicly dissed them in the past. Adeleye was asked on Instagram why he did not commit to Texas.

“Cause in the past 5 years they’ve only sent 15% of their 4 and 5 star recruits to the NFL draft.”

According to 247Sports in-state rivals Texas A&M is seen as a favorite for the four-star. Nick Saban and Alabama could also be on the hunt for another edge rusher.

Texas’ director of recruiting Bryan Carrington had something to say about Adeleye’s decommitment.

It will be a long shot for the Longhorns to go after the soon to be five-star. However, Texas is in need of another staple recruit to sure up their 2021 class. Adeleye could be just that.

Texas lands first commitment of 2022 class in four-star receiver

Texas has landed their first commitment of the 2022 recruiting class with Phaizon Wilson. A four-star WR, Phaizon chose UT over Texas A&M.

Texas has landed their first commitment of the 2022 recruiting class with Phaizon Wilson. A four-star wide receiver from Lancaster, Texas, Phaizon chose the Longhorns over Texas A&M.

Tom Herman’s great run in the state of Texas begins with Phaizon and will continue through the 2022 class. Once again, Herman finds a way to beat Jimbo Fisher and the Aggies for an in-state blue-chip prospect.

No one knows what’s going to happen to the 2020 college football season. We’ll take a general look at where each team stands – doing it without spring ball to go by – while crossing our fingers that we’ll all have some well-deserved fun this fall. Hoping you and yours are safe and healthy.

5. College Football News Preview 2020: Texas A&M Aggies Offense 3 Things To Know

– The offense wasn’t as consistent or as dynamic as it probably should’ve been. It was able to beat up on the weak, sputtered too much against the strong, and overall it was underwhelming, finishing 72nd in the nation overall  and 62nd in scoring.

On the plus side, the offense was able to keep most games at its own pace. It ran a deliberate style that helped dominate the time of possession battle, but it also seemed to take the team out of a groove. At times, it looked like it was hard to rev up the machine.

Any improvement starts by getting more out of the line. Four starters are expected back – it’s really all five starters with interior blocker Ryan McCollum back after being hurt for most of last year – but the pass protection wasn’t nearly good enough and the ground game was just okay.

– Kellen Mond has to rise up and become a star. The veteran quarterback has been fine – he threw for almost 2,900 yards with 20 touchdowns and nine picks, and he ran for 500 yards and eight scores – but like the rest of the team, the consistency wasn’t there. Again with the O line – Mond didn’t get a whole lot of time against the better defensive fronts.

With almost no experience behind him, getting the backups some meaningful reps – most likely redshirt freshman Zach Calzada and sophomore James Foster – is a must.

Top target Jhamon Ausbon is back after catching 66 passes for 872 yards and five scores, and 6-5, 260-pound sophomore Jalen Wydermyer is a great-looking tight end, but Quartney Davis and Kendrick Rogers are gone after leaving early for the NFL – and going undrafted. It’s a deep corps, though, and it’s getting even better with superstar recruit Demond Demas about to become a big deal.

– Raise your hand if you’re a Texas A&M running back who’s not transferring. Leading rusher Isaiah Spiller is back after coming up with 946 yards and five scores, and Mond will do his part, but the next three leading rushers are all taking off to the transfer portal.

Jashaun Corbin is a Florida State Seminole as part of the five running backs taking their talents elsewhere. Some okay running back prospects are coming in, but they’re not as highly rated overall as the receivers. Speedy freshman Devon Achane will get his shot in the rotation, but 193-pound sophomore Ainias Smith will likely be the No. 2 guy early on.

Joel Klatt leaves Georgia out of his way-too-early top ten

Joel Klatt puts Texas A&M, Notre Dame, and Florida all ahead of Georgia in his 2020 preseason college football rankings.

The Georgia Bulldogs have been snubbed once again. This time, Fox Sports’ Joel Klatt has snubbed the Georgia Bulldogs from his way-too-early college football top ten for the 2020 season.

Klatt put Texas A&M, Notre Dame, and Florida, who all lost to UGA in 2019, ahead of the Bulldogs:

Klatt’s top ten is as follows:

1. Clemson

2. Ohio St

3. Alabama

4. Florida

5. Oklahoma

6. Penn State

7. LSU

8. Oregon

9. Notre Dame

10. Texas A&M

It bears mentioning that the same UGA defense who gave up a combined 47 points to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the Florida Gators, and the Texas A&M Aggies and is returning almost all of their starters. Georgia’s defense gave up the least points in the country in 2019. Base on the elite defense alone, the Dawgs deserve to be in the top ten.

Georgia’s offense is more questionable, but the Bulldogs will have better receivers in 2020 (George Pickens will be a monster) and have the usual elite stable of running backs. Can Wake Forest transfer QB Jamie Newman step up at UGA? Will Georgia’s offensive line hold up against the elite defensive lines of the SEC?

Those two questions will go a long way for determining the success of Georgia’s 2020 season. UGA is bringing in another elite recruiting class as well.

SEC football: week 13’s (soft) schedule, TV times

The Georgia Bulldogs versus the Texas A&M Aggies headlines an otherwise soft week 13 schedule for the SEC.

The SEC Championship race is formality at this point. The Georgia Bulldogs wrapped up the SEC East with a 21-14 win over the Auburn Tigers. The LSU Tigers only need a home win against the pitiful Arkansas Razorbacks to wrap up the SEC West. A Georgia-LSU SEC Championship Game will have serious playoff implications. Even in defeat LSU may still advance to the playoff. The same can’t be said for the Georgia Bulldogs.

This week, Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa suffered an injury that shocked the college football community. Tua is out for the season and the Crimson Tide need a little help to make the playoff.

Here’s the SEC’s week 13 schedule including TV times (central time) and networks. Note that these times are central. For instance UGA versus Texas A&M will have a 3:30 kickoff on CBS:

Georgia-Texas A&M is the best SEC game of the week. The Aggies put together an impressive 30-6 victory over the South Carolina Gamecocks yesterday. Georgia’s College Football Playoff hopes hang in the balance once again. The game will serve as an excellent barometer for the playoff. A&M will have played Clemson, Alabama, Georgia, Auburn, and LSU by the end of the season.

As for the rest of the SEC, the second best game is probably Missouri-Tennessee. There’s a lot of easy games for teams getting ready for rivalry week.
