Around Texas: A round-up of recruiting news in the Lone Star State
The season has officially begun for both college and high school football, and the action continues as September reaches its midpoint. Now, it is time to take a look at the latest happenings on the Lone Star State recruiting front as the offseason nears an end.
State 7-on-7 Tournament Thread
The Texas State 7-on-7 Tournament begins today at Veteran's Park in College Station. In terms of prospects on the A&M radar in the upcoming senior class, this is as light of a field as I can ever remember. Still, our team will be on sight throughout the weekend to get a look at the names that are on Mike Elko's big board as well as the players that are beginning to emerge on recruiting radars across the region. The small schools start this morning at 10 am. Their playoffs will begin early tomorrow before the larger classification starts their pool play in the afternoon with that bracket taking place on Saturday.Here's a list of players to watch as compiled by Jason Howell:Texas A&M offersDeSoto - WR Boobie Feaster - 2027 RB Myson Johnson-Cook Crandall- 2027 WR Jeremiah Douglas Argyle Liberty Christian- 2027 LB Cooper Witten Hutto- 2027 WR Jaiden Fields Tyler- 2027 WR Trey Haralson Colleyville Heritage- 2028 WR Dez Bryant Jr Lewisville - 2027 CB Taelyn Mayo Waco Midway - 2027 RB Lathan Whisenton Pflugerville Weiss- 2027 WR Tre Moore Argyle- 2027 WR Julian Caldwell Bastrop- 2027 QB Weston Nielsen Longview- 2028 WR Jaden Hurndon El Paso Pebble Hills- 2029 TE Noah Tarrant Manvel- 2027 CB Karnell James Shadow Creek- 2027 CB Brandon Sherrard Frisco Panther Creek- ATH Jalen Lott - S Donovan Webb Willis - ATH Jermaine Bishop - Texas commitGrand Oaks- QB Grant Smith Other Notables - 2026QB Jack Daulton, The Woodlands - TCU commitQB Kase Evans , Lexington - Oklahoma St commitRB HD Davis, Wolfe City - Kansas St commitRB Christian Rhodes, Dallas Lake Highlands - SMU commitWR Jabarie Thornton, Waco La Vega - Oklahoma St commitWR Chris Stewart, Shadow Creek - Texas commitTE Braden Bach, Argyle - TCU commitLB Kailer Pettijohn, AnnaLB Jamarion Phillips - South Oak Cliff - Baylor commitCB Marcell Gipson Jr - South Oak Cliff - Clemson commitCB Jason Bradford, Temple - TCU commitS Markel Ford, DeSoto - SMU commitS Yaheim Riley, Austin Anderson - Texas commitS Bradley Brown, Plano - TCU commitATH Lakeyleon Graves - Kilgore2027QB Jaxon Blancett - LorenaRB SaRod Baker, DeSotoRB Derrick Martin, Lewisville RB Cadarius McMiller, Tyler HighWR Isaac Stinson - Bay CityWR Aden Starling, Shadow Creek - Houston commitWR Tim Moore, Van AlstyneS Aiden Evans, LewisvilleS Aston Whiteside, Lucas Lovejoy ATH Terian Maxie, TrinityATH Isaiah Reed, Hamshire-Fannett2028QB Tristin Gaines, WallerQB Jaxon Schad, Pflugerville WeissWR Tylan Henderson, Pflugerville Weiss 2029WR Cor'mond Houston, Anna

Trooper Taylor was in Carthage checking in with RB KJ Edwards and his younger brother JD Edwards who both hold Texas A&M offers. I'm told it was a really good visit I also hear the staff has plans to check in with some heavy hitters in Dallas-Fort Worth today. I hear Duncanville, South Oak Cliff, DeSoto, Denton Guyer, and Mesquite Horn are all in the works. That's some serious talent there. Here's a look at just the prospects already holding A&M offers at those schools 2026S Markel Ford, Mesquite Horn - Texas A&M commitDE KJ Ford, DuncanvilleDE Kordae Houston, South Oak CliffLB Jamarion Phillips, South Oak Cliff 2027RB Myson Johnson-Cook, DeSotoWR Ethan Feaster, DeSotoOL Brian Swanson, South Oak CliffDL JD Jones, South Oak CliffDL Khyren Haywood, Denton GuyerATH Zane Rowe, Denton GuyerThe Aggies were pretty active last week in DFW with some new offers. They were the first to offer 2028 WR Dez Bryant Jr at Colleyville Heritage, and they extended a trio of offers at Lancaster to 2026 RB Izayah Lee, 2027 ATH Victor Scott, and 2028 ATH James Foster. They also offered Navy National Combine standout and Cedar Hill 2027 DL Jalen Brewster.
