I'll be fairly disappointed if the staff strikes out at all three. Getting one is the minimum. Find a way to get two to take the next step up the recruiting rankings.
Agreed. I think we are going to have a smaller class this year due to numbers. Wouldn’t be shocked to see us wait till summer to add to the roster.

Believe he is from Westlake which just produced the number 1 qb in the country in Cade Klubnik (Clemson).

To give you some perspective, the backup QBs at Westlake have also gotten D1 offers, including Klubnik’s backup who I believe is going to Rice.

For more perspective, Westlake’s AD/Football coach makes about 160k per year.

Westlake is also the home of Drew Brees, I believe.

And Nick Foles.

Not too far away at Lake Travis (Westlake’s primary rival) you have Baker Mayfield, Garrett Wilson (OSU wide receiver) and others. The number of kids these schools churn out is absurd.

Lake Travis Alums

I couldn’t find a similar one for Westlake. But you get the idea. Westlake has also turned into basketball factory. Biggest names are probably Matthew Mayer at Baylor, Will Baker who was a 5* in his same class, and KJ Adams who just won the NC at Kansas.

Big kid with obvious arm talent, gaudy Sr year stats and a state title.

What's not to like here for a PWO? Previous recruiting visit to UTSA in 2020, too
Exactly, maybe he can help out the baseball team as well.

Varsity, here's a list of Lake Travis QBs since 2007. They have sent 8 in 14 years to Power five and two of those to the NFL. That is just crazy. Oh, and they knocked my son's team out of that soccer state championship recently on their way to the title. They are good at sports.

  • Todd Reesing - 2007 Kansas (orange bowl win)
  • Michael Brewer - 2011 Vatech
  • Dominic DeLira - 2015 Iowa State
  • Garret Gilbert - NFL backup
  • Baker Mayfield - NFL starter
  • Charlie Brewer - 2017 Baylor
  • Matthew Baldwin - 2018 Ohio State
  • Hudson Card - 2021 Texas
