– Earlier this spring, Texas hosted California 4-star, DB Chris Adimora (Lakewood, CA). Following the visit, Chris said he will absolutely take an OV to Texas in the fall.

Since the visit to Texas, Chris tells me has visited Colorado.

I recently heard through the grape vine that Chris could be making a decision in the early part of the summer. I checked with him and it looks like things are still scheduled for late summer. In his words, “late summer but if I’m not ready and feel I need more time, it’s a possibility it may be pushed back”.

Should he commit in the summer, Chris did mention that he plans to take official visits after his commitment.

Currently, this one is very much trending Texas. – (Super K)

– As we first reported, Bowie (TX) WR Elijah Higgins took an unofficial visit to Texas on Thursday. This was a big visit for Texas, as it seemed like the Longhorns had been slipping in this recruitment for awhile now. With schools like Stanford, Ohio State, and even Texas A&M making strong pushes.

While it wasn’t a very long visit, Higgins told me “I had a great time. Nothing too crazy, I know what’s going on over there. Just hung out and talked football for the whole day, had an amazing time.” So by the sounds of it, the main goal of this visit was for Higgins to get some more face-to-face time with the coaching staff.

There had been some chatter Higgins didn’t really gel too well with Texas WR coach Drew Mehringer. But that doesn’t seem like the case at all after talking to Higgins. He told me Mehringer is the coach he’s built the best relationship with during the recruiting process. Saying that it all falls back on “the genuine relationship we’ve built.”

I asked Higgins about Texas seeming to fall behind with him, after having a clear lead early on in his recruitment. He didn’t see it like that, saying “I wouldn’t necessarily say ‘overtaken’. It seemed that way because I was still exploring elsewhere. I’m just feeling out all my options.”

One thing to know with Higgins is that he doesn’t plan to take an official visit to Texas before his expected commitment. He wants to make a decision before the start of his senior year. And if you read one of Super K’s recent posts, Texas only has two Spring/Summer official visit spots remaining. And it doesn’t sound like they’re going to use those on in-state guys. Higgins does plan to take another unofficial visit to Texas next weekend. So the Longhorns will likely have an official visit for Higgins in their back pocket once the fall rolls around.

Right now the only official visit Higgins has set up is to Ohio State on June 22nd. Expect Stanford to get one as well. Right now it seems like Texas, Ohio State, and Stanford are the Top 3 here. I’d give Stanford the edge right now, but Ohio State has one of his closest friends in Garret Wilson in the fold. Then there’s Texas, that has the clear distance to home edge. And that could come into play down the line. – (Andrew)

– I spoke to a source this morning that let me know that North Forest (TX) offensive tackle Javonne Shepherd will be in Austin today for an unofficial visit. Shepherd is expected to be at Texas for most of the day.

This is huge news for Texas as 5-Star OT Kenyon Green committed to Texas A&M over the weekend. Green and Shepherd have talked about playing together in college. Texas and Texas A&M are the top two for Shepherd right now, and Alabama is in the picture as well.

Texas already has 5-Star OT Tyler Johnson committed. And they would love to add Shepherd to the fold. – (Andrew)

– One of Texas’ top linebacker targets is Wekiva (FL) OLB Rian Davis. Davis is from Florida and is playing his senior year there. Davis actually played his first three years of HS football in the Houston area, and he’s very open to returning for college.

Davis took his first official visit to Louisville last week, and has set his Texas official visit. He will be in Austin June 15th-17th. He is also very high on Georgia. Davis originally planned to commit this summer, but that likely won’t happen now, as he wants to get some other official visits in before he makes the final decision.

– New offer holder WR Langston Anderson is planning on visiting Texas unofficially late June or early July. He and current CB Kobe Boyce have been in communication as they used to play together. Seems like Boyce will play a big part in this recruitment. He will be releasing his top 10 soon. Texas will be on it. – (Will)

It’s obviously way too early to be dishing out compliments to the newly arrived freshmen. They have started working out but again it’s early.

However, I did want to note that I heard from a source that the initial impressions of Joseph Ossai in terms of attitude and how he looked coming in to the program is really good. It looks like he was using these past few months of high school, wisely. – (Super K)
