Recruiting: Sunday news and notes
The Texas Longhorns big visit weekend doesn't conclude until later today. With that said, OnTexasFootball is delivering some news and notes to begin your Sunday morning.
Notes so far on Texas official visitors from the weekend...
Brysten Martinez, OT, Gonzales (La.) East Ascension - *LSU commit
OnTexasFootball ranking: 4-star+
Where it stands: Texas has their work cut out for them should Lane Kiffin announce he's headed to LSU in a week. But, Texas seemingly has a better shot on the surface with Martinez than Richard Anderson. Made OV with his mom.
Kaden Scherer, OT, Georgetown (Texas) High - *Stanford commit
OnTexasFootball ranking: 3-star++
Where it stands: This one isn't cut and dry on the flip due to being a Stanford commit. But Texas has true proximity on their side. Made OV with his family.
Jett Walker, RB, Georgetown (Texas) High - *Minnesota commit
OnTexasFootball ranking: 3-star++
Where it stands: Texas is a heavy favorite to flip Walker from Minnesota. Multiple family members attended Texas.
Richard Anderson, DL, New Orleans (La.) Edna Karr - *LSU commit
OnTexasFootball ranking: 5-star
Where it stands: Texas is taking their biggest swing, but the LSU hire looms large here. Frank Wilson also plays a key part here. Made OV with his mom.
Josiah Vilmael, CB/N, Richmond (Texas) Fort Bend Travis
OnTexasFootball ranking: 3-star++
Where it stands: Texas is considered the favorite, but Vilmael currently has two more OV's on the schedule. He remains scheduled to go to California Monday-Tuesday, and Kansas State this weekend. He made the OV with his younger brother and parents.
UNC trying to flip Cleveland ...
Four-star+ DL and Texas commitment Vodney Cleveland (Birmingham, Ala./Parker) was back on campus at North Carolina for the second time this season. The Tar Heels are trying to big on NIL in this one. Texas hasn't been concerned in the last 2-3 weeks. Kenny Baker stopped in at Parker High during the second bye week. Showing up again at UNC after the Texas visit, changes the game a little for now.
