Chris Sailer Kicking had Olano ranked #3 in their national rankings. They have Morales ranked #7. Pretty comparable with slight edge to Olano.
Beamer moved him to TE coach to make room for James Coley, who then bolted for Georgia. If that isn't top tier staff management, I don't know what is

low beams beamer...........lol , what a turd.............
with that offense pretty much done for the 2027 class the staff can start to focus on 2028
Maybe the deal that sealed it was older brother can get a nice NIL deal to be the backup to Boyd in 2027-2028.Something to keep an eye on as well ...
Older brother was a sought after recruit, he sat behind Haynes king for 2
Years and lost the job to Alberto Mendoza this past spring.
Not sure you want him to start,
But would be nice to have an older guy in the room next year if Boyd is the plan.

Not sure I would say his brother was a sought after recruit. I could see him being brought in as a veteran back up.

Yeah, i was just looking him up and he's a big dude at 6'7. 1 pass attempt last year at GT and it was completed for 84 yards and a TD.Graham Knowles, Southlake Carroll , Quarterback

Perfect guy to bring in and compete with Boyd/Clayton … OR if there’s any roster movement at the QB spot … He’d be a guy that I imagine would have some interest …
FWIW - Traylor LOVED this kid …
Is it a foregone conclusion they're getting Knowles? Its supposed to be announcement time correct?

Stepp has kicked !!! on the recruiting trail. What’s funny is last week people on here said we had no shot

I’m guilty of saying we had a 1% chance
but I didn’t say we had no chance

WTF is going on?
damn, Stepp is good. damn good. pulling a VVG WR out of Texas is a big deal. kudos!
this would have been an utter pipe dream a few years ago

Pretty easy to look at the guys he has worked with and how many have ended up in the league, especially based on their initial pedigree. Then add to it that hes a likeable dude that is good at making connections and you have the perfect storm.

no doubt, Stepp has it going on. full package: coaching, recruiting and megawatt charisma. he's going places (hopefully, with Illinois)
