He plays football with my son there at Lone Star. They are in the same class. My son was telling me about him. Coach Jackson, the WR coach at Lone Star, is a UNT Alumni. Hopefully he gets in his ear.

My son tells me he has squatted 415 lbs. Did it in the weight room one day with the coaches as spotters.. That's pretty damn good for a guy who is only 170 lbs

Coached against him last year, lets just say I was glad he didn't touch the ball more. This kid has the chance to go to the house every time he touches the rock.

Pretty clear what this kid values. One P5 offer out of 20 total.

Larry Nixon is his cousin. Pretty cool that he used Larry’s photo to announce the offer. GMG!

He is supposed to hang out with my son. I will try and see if I can get an idea of what he is thinking. With the RBs that we picked up, I am not sure if it is as much of need as before.

To my knowledge they aren’t taking anymore RBs but I’ve been wrong before

I would hope not. We need a QB and front seven on defense.

Any "breaking news"?

He has spoken to Coach Cobbs and Cobbs told him to come and run for 1500. He is considering it after talking with Coach Cobbs. We certainly have a chance.

Would be great to have him. I know folks like to say we need another QB and D linemen which I agree with but we also lost 4 running backs to the portal. Although one hadn't been very productive, I don't think there's any issue with another coming in when you see how much we rotate running backs and how often freak injuries happen. Regardless of where he ends up, I hope he finds success.
