Football recruiting notes
OnTexasFootball delivers a few football recruiting notes to go with your morning brew.
Roseborough back on campus ...
Clearwater (Fla.) High 4-star++ OT Samuel Roseborough was back on campus a few days ago, marking his second visit of the spring with another to come. Of course, his mom now lives and works in Austin, so the 6-foot-5, 275-pounder is around campus more than most prospects.
OTF can report that Roseborough rated recent visits to Michigan and Texas A&M behind Texas. OTF believes the Horns hold a decent lead right now.
OTF continues to believe the Longhorns lead for Roseborough, 4-star+ IOL Toa Katoa (Euless, Texas/Trinity) and 4-star+ IOL Nicolas Robertson (Klein, Texas/High). And the Longhorns are at least a 50-50 shot with 5-star OT John Turntine III (Fort Worth, Texas/North Crowley), 4-star++ OT Felix Ojo (Mansfield, Texas/Lake Ridge) and 4-star+ OT/IOL Sam Utu (Orange, Calif./Lutheran).
Two defensive lineman to know ...
IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) via East Northport, N.Y. 4-star defensive lineman Preston Carey has real interest in Texas. OTF expects the 6-foot-4, 310-pounder to make an unofficial visit in April. Depending on that visit, a June OV is likely/possible. The Texas staff likes Carey over the ball. He's seen as a more athletic version of Bill Norton.
As OTF has mentioned, 4-star+ defensive lineman Damari Simeon (Richland, N.J./St. Augustine) will visit April 12. Texas is expected to make a big push so long as Simeon is close to the listed 6-foot-3 and 270-275 pounds. Ohio State, Penn State, Tennessee, Auburn, North Carolina and Oklahoma are considered the main competition early on.
In case anyone missed this with the wild day on the Forty Acres ...
Marietta (Ga.) Kell 2026 4-star+ Brayden Rouse tells OnTexasFootball he is making an unofficial visit to Texas April 17.
Rouse, 6-3 and 210-pounds, was offered by Johnny Nansen January 29.
The Peach State rangy LB with closing speed has June OV’s scheduled to Michigan June 6-8, Georgia June 13-15 and Tennessee June 20-22.
Texas will be working to replace on of the June visit dates with the first ever visit to Texas next month.
