You beat me too it JD. I just finished watching his highlight tape. He will fit nicely in this offense. Speed and great hands.

We beat out Houston, Bowling Green, UL-LA, UTSA, Texas State, New Mexico, and quite a few FCS schools.

Hell yeah. Beat out some good schools for this kid. He's gonna be a good one

[BTG_Fan1]

Love this add, huge get. 

Do we know is he a WR or TE (my bad if answered in other thread)

[Marty]

Awesome! Welcome aboard.

[Cooley]

Looks like an FAU type recruit

[All About UNT]

Note we were the first to offer him on Feb 10th 2017.  I am curious why offers dried up after August but it really goes to show the value of being the first (esp among peers) to notice one's talents and offer to reward it.

Welcome Jyaire!

 

Also of note is that Ellison's mascot is the Eagles...aka Mean Green

Welcome aboard Jyaire!

Coach Littrell needs to groom another Gronk.  Come in ready to work & it could be you!

According to Vito is an outside WR and not a TE, I was wondering his role

[UNTLifer]

Love, love, love this commit.  I think he is way underrated and could be, with all due respect to the other young men in this class, the steal of this class.  Based on his tape, I liked him better than the other two, more highly rated TE's in McTear and the young man from Martin.  

Welcome home Jyaire!

[BillySee58]

Good to see. I think receiver has been the best area of recruiting for this staff to this point. Congrats, Jyaire!

Told y’all I referred to him as Megatron the past 2 seasons. He ain’t too bad on the track either. Y’all need to come see the speed in KilleenTX sometime. Heights, Killeen, Ellison, and Shoemaker have some burners down here.

i havent seen that uniform since the phil eagles wore them.  Did we have those uniforms or is it a look into next year fashion statement.

[MeanGreenTexan]

I love that he includes blocking highlights for about 1/4 of that tape.

That is his actual HS uniform.  He played for the Ellison Eagles

Kid does remind me of Megatron, hope he can develop into that. 

[southsideguy]

if he develops fast it will open guy ton up on the other side.

Love the size of Shorter 6’2, 210 (ideally id like him to be a few inches taller but that is nitpicking).  But something I just thought of is the scary combo at Outside WR we have on the way in Shorter and Greg White. If white can get up to that 200 lb range it will be very special pairing.

[Eagle71]

Love the numbers:   6'2"  210-220  WR/TE/FS and runs a 4.4. Fly Like An Eagle

Wonder why so many kids are signing so late in the day this year

I think it has to do more with the high schools. I am thinking they would rather have distractions at end of the day rather than in the middle

Jay D is correct, the only other option especially for us (LISD is too big and their start times are staggered for busses) is in order to get the signing done and be ready for the start of school is to sign before school starts and that ends up causing some logistical issues when it comes to duty stations etc.  putting it at the end of the day allows more students to attend

What did you guys do in prior years? I get the logistics, but that hasn't deterred the signings from occurring in the morning in the past. Just wondering why this year it is becoming more common to do it later. TCU even cancelled their presser because so many of their expected signees are signing later today
