Nolan Wilson

When linebacker Storm Miller committed he said he would be back for a visit with his mom, and he is headed back to College Station this week. He will be back in town Thursday to give his mom her first look at Aggieland, and he is looking forward to showing her arond. This weekend saw the Aggies continue the positive recruiting momentum with the additions of a couple of commitment, but they were not the only positive trends. It does not take a genius to see Lamar Brown returning to town for another visit as a big positive for the Aggies, and it is safe to say if the Aggies are not the leader they are a leader. LSU is most definitely a factor there, but he was once again in town with friends for a multi-day visit and the Aggies continue to generate positive momentum on that front. Staying on the defensive line, when Richardson (TX) DL Jaimeon Winfield committed to USC following a March unofficial visit, I thought the Aggies would continue to pursue. That is definitely the case and he made it to campus not once, but twice this spring including last weekend for the spring game. He also visited for Junior Day in January. Before his commitment the Aggies were thought to be a strong contender, and it does not look like that has changed after. I'm not saying a flip is imminent but keep him on your radar. I do get the sense Texas A&M and Picayune (MS) defensive end Nolan Wilson are moving in different directions. He has talked about setting up an OV in the past, but I'm told he feels like more of a priority elsewhere at the moment. Switching gears a little bit. I have been out at spring practices. Mainly dropping into see top priority A&M targets. So far I have dropped in to see Zaden Krempin, Drew Evers, and John Turntine in the 2026 class and Cooper Witten and Braylon Williams in the 2027 class. Of course I always happen across a few new prospects as well. One of my recent stops was to Walnut Grove who in their first year of varsity play won district over Anna, Melissa, Lucas Lovejoy, and Frisco Emerson with a freshman QB named Hayes Hackney. Hackney is an athletic QB with a quick release and a strong arm who makes quick decisions and led a powerful offense. He is on the shorter side at 5-9, 5-10, but he completed 66-percent of his passes for 3,671 yards, 40 TDs and on 5 INTs to lead 5A-DII in passing and earn District MVP honors. I highlighted 2027 OL Jackson Hooker last week as my new name to know. He checks in at 6-4, 270 and he is agile, athletic, and mean in those trenches. He received his first offer last week from ULM and comes from an athletic family with his mom, dad, and older sister all playing a sport in college. Another guy who really caught my attention is OLB/DE DJ Henderson. Henderson did not play varsity last year, but he checks in at 6-5, 230 and he has a sub-5.0 40. He hit a growth spurt in the last year and he moves really well. I could easily see him grabbing quite a bit of attention as coaches see him this spring and get a chance to work with him this summer. Coach Allison at Walnut Grove, who coach Malcome Kennedy at Cayuga, is very intrigued by his potential.

Here's who we've got headed to campus over the next couple of days for the Maroon and White game. I should also say that Mike Evans Elite 7 on 7 team will be in town today. It's a group full of primarily 2027-2029 players.
