HOF Academy: 2021 offensive tackle Savion Byrd is one to watch ByBILL GREENE 49 minutes ago Share CANTON, Ohio -- Last week's Pro Football Hall of Fame Academy featured several of the top 2020 prospects in the country but there were also a handful of 2021 recruits are also members of the USA team that will compete in the World Bowl later this year in Mexico City. Offensive tackle Savion Byrd, Duncanville (TX), is currently rated as the No. 13 overall prospect in America for the class of 2021 by the industry-generated 247Sports Composite, and he certainly showed why. Possessing great length and quick feet, Byrd competed hard and more than held his own going against older players. His athleticism is striking and he has a frame that is going to fill out to 300-pounds by the time he plays college football."This has been an awesome experience being at the Hall of Fame and I feel blessed to be here," Byrd stated. "The best part of this experience is that I got to bond with some of the top players in the country and learn from some great coaches. "The one thing they talked to us about that really hit home with me is that we should not be afraid to leave our legacy," he added. "It was good to be coached by guys that played in the NFL.""I know I need to put in a lot of work to get to where I need to go," he continued. "I'm tall (6-foot-5) and I can run a good forty time, but I need to work on every part of my game. There is really no part of my game that I could say I'm satisfied with right now."With offers from several top Power Five programs, Byrd has put himself on the recruiting radar and that offer list is only going to keep rising."I have a lot of offers right now and I think I have around 25," Byrd explained. "There are a few schools that have not offered yet that I would like to hear from, like Clemson, Oregon, Miami, and Florida. As a kid, I always looked up to Miami and that was who I rooted for growing up. I just always liked how serious they played and the brotherhood they had.""Of the ones that have offered, Texas shows a lot of love to me and I have offers from most of the schools in-state," he said. "Texas football is amazing and they also take things very seriously, which I like a lot. I have been there twice and really like the school a lot." "Texas A&M has also offered but they're not recruiting me too hard," he noted. "I think once my junior year starts they will really start to talk to me. I did talk to Oklahoma the other day, and they have offered me. I like them and they have a really good program."Even though Byrd still has two years of high school football remaining, he already has an idea of what he is looking for in a college.I am a person that asks a lot of questions and I'm looking for loyalty from a coaching staff," Byrd exclaimed. "Football is not everything to me, so I'm looking for a college that can make me a better person as well as a better football player."

Recruiting Vernon Broughton -- through a mother's eye ByDAMON SAYLES 46 minutes ago The correspondence never ceases. Multiple cellphone text messages and direct messages via social media come through in bunches from college coaches. It's the neverending lifestyle of a busy recruiting process. And that doesn't even touch what the actual recruit goes through. When a recruiting process becomes high-profile, few fans who follow the wanted high school target realize that the best college recruiters make the entire family -- and not just the player -- a priority. And the elite college recruiters know that the mother oftentimes has the last word, so recruiting her is equally vital. That said, Houston four-star defensive lineman Vernon Broughton's upcoming commitment is one to watch. He is ranked a national top-100 player and a national top-10 defensive tackle in the 2020 class for a reason. But every word and every action by Yolanda Wells-Broughton is key. The mother of the 6-foot-5, 286-pound Cy Ridge High School standout has been integral in his process as he inches closer to publicly announcing his verbal commitment. Entering the weekend, Broughton has a top five, in alphabetical order, of Arkansas, LSU, Ohio State, Texas and Texas A&M. Broughton hears from multiple coaches -- in and out of his top five -- on a daily basis, but he handles everything with maturity. It's almost to where his mother never has to worry. "It's really been a humbling experience, particularly if you knew his back story and where he comes from," his mother said. "You hear kids always saying how this has been a lifetime dream. Vernon didn't quite have that story. It's only been two years of Vernon playing football, so for him to have this opportunity, I'm just ecstatic for him." Broughton will eventually commit, potentially early next week, but all the coaches in his top five have done a solid job in recruiting Wells-Broughton, as well. And that's important because she's a former college basketball coach who knows all of the tricks of the trade with recruiting. Wells is a former head women's coach at Texas Southern. She also has been an assistant coach at LSU and TCU, among other places. Wells-Broughton played basketball at Grambling and helped the program earn its first-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament in 1994. If football coaches don't know her coaching and recruiting background, it could be detrimental in recruiting her son. It's tough for some to sell to a former salesman. Fortunately for Broughton's top-five programs, those coaches have been on top of their games in recruiting both him and his mother. Currently, it's the middle of the NCAA dead period, and Wells-Broughton said communication between her and coaches has slowed down significantly. Add in the fact that her son has been focused on finishing summer-school courses, and the conversations among coaches have been at a minimum. But when the open period returns, a routine day of communication for Broughton can get somewhat strenuous -- and just as hectic for his mother. "A typical day is him telling me, 'Hey, mom, you got a minute? Can you talk to this coach?'" she said. "He's one of those kids who watched me work as a former collegiate coach. He's juggling it and tries to answer every call, but he doesn't have the time to always get into detail." That's when Mom comes in. And because of what's she already knows, a football coach has no choice but to come correct. "Football coaches are pretty demanding, but at the same time, I think they know I won't be interested in a lot of hype. I want them to get to the substance of everything," she said. "How soon can Vernon graduate? When does he need to apply for school? What about application fees? That's our focus. "This is not a three-, four- or five-year decision; this is a 40- or 50-year decision. This is bigger than football, and when I talk to coaches, I don't want to hear the glitz and glamour. I'm not interested in pool parties or things of that nature. At end of day, you want him to maximize the opportunity. You've got to get more out of school than what the school is offering you." Wells-Broughton has something specific she likes about each school in her son's top five. Ohio State has a respected hospital specializing in orthopedics on campus. Arkansas has a staff with a lot of veteran coaches and a head coach in Chad Morris who, like Wells-Broughton, climbed the ladder and gradually moved up. She likes his foundation for building. LSU is Wells-Broughton's old stomping grounds, and she is a big fan of the strong support group there. Texas is a school that has done a good job in recruiting the entire family, and she feels the staff can maximize her son's potential. When discussing Texas A&M, Wells-Broughton spoke about how the staff took an interest in Broughton very early. She also knows that Jimbo Fisher is someone who knows how to turn programs around. My❤️ "They are one of the first teams that said this kid has a career in football," Wells-Broughton said of the Aggies. "He was playing AAU [basketball], we weren't even thinking about football, but Coach Robinson kept saying how he has a career in football. They would come to the school to watch him play basketball. Vernon would say, 'Mom, this is getting serious.'" Wells-Broughton added: "I know that having an Aggie Ring opens doors for people. I'm looking at graduation and what you're going to do after sports. How can we market you with an entrepreneurial and business aspect? There's no doubt in my mind, A&M can help him with that." A decision could come as early as next week for Broughton. Nothing, she said, will happen until his she returns to Texas. She is currently in Chicago and is expected to be back later this weekend. The winning school will get a playmaker with a high ceiling. With a decision coming, the process will see its slowdown not only for him but also for his mother. It's a process she said she'll never forget. "I just pray that Vernon will make the right decision," she said. "I know he has to make the decision, but Mom will have to approvespan widget

National top-100 DT Broughton nearing decision VIP ByBRIAN PERRONI 50 minutes ago FRISCO, Texas – Houston Cy Ridge four-star defensive lineman Vernon Broughton was not with the rest of the prospects when they arrived at check-in for The Opening Finals on Sunday. The 6-foot-5, 286-pound defender had long had a family reunion planned for this past weekend, so he did not arrive in Frisco until Monday afternoon. The nation’s No. 70 overall prospect will hit the field on Tuesday but he is also focused on recruiting as well. Having taken his five allotted official visits over the past couple of months to Arkansas, LSU, Ohio State, Texas and Texas A&M, Broughton is nearing a decision. “Right now - I think…a week from now - me, my mom and my grandmother are going to go to a nice restaurant, bring a notebook and pencil and write down and see where I’m going,” he said of a timeline and figuring out his future destination. As for whether a particular school was standing out as he prepared for the meeting with the two main women in his life, Broughton was not quite ready to say that. “I mean, I have several, to be honest,” he said of schools sticking out. “But one? No, not really. That’s why we want to sit down, write it all out and see where I’m really focused at.” Broughton says he is looking for an environment that feels like home to him. “Every school is nice, so it’s really where I’m going to fit in at,” he said. “Living, see if I’m going to stay in Texas or not. That’s the majority things. And, a big family thing. I know every school shows that they love my family, but see where it’s really down.” A&M received the final official visit, hosting Broughton just before the dead period began last month. “It’s amazing. It’s nice,” he said of Aggieland. “The culture and everything is nice there. The college itself, the people – it’s a great place. Coach Price and coach Jimbo, they’re all good people. “I’ve been talking to coach Price here lately. We’re just going over things. He sent me a depth chart and everything else like that.” A couple weeks prior to his official visit, Broughton camped at A&M and then spent the night in College Station. He says it helped the Aggies in his mind quite a bit. “They have,” Broughton said about things picking up with A&M as of late. “They’ve been off for a minute but they got back on the wagon. “Still talking to coach Price. Letting him coach me at that camp and just walking around. I’ve been to Texas A&M plenty of times.” Broughton weighed in at 286 pounds this past March and is ranked as a defensive tackle by 247Sports. However, A&M is recruiting him as a defensive end. That is his preferred spot, but he is more open now to playing on the interior. “That’s a good question. I know I’m going to grow some more so [some] people are saying d-tackle,” Broughton said. “But I don’t care, to be honest. I just want to be on the field. That’s all I’ve got to say.” Broughton has narrowed things to the five schools where he took officials so it’s not surprising that he mentioned coaches from each program as the ones he communicates with the most. “There’s several,” he said. “Coach Giles from UT, coach Johnson from Ohio State, coach Price from Texas A&M. And I’m good with coach Morris from Arkansas. He and I are like cool friends. And coach DJ, the defensive line coach at LSU.” Broughton’s younger sister is a recruit in her own right as a basketball player. Whoever lands him could be getting both siblings. “She does want to follow me,” he said. “My mom wants us to stay close to each other. It could be a good chance (we go the same place
