I recently heard that several 2027 basketball players are coming out for spring football this year. Guys that had played middle school football but had focused on basketball in high school. Sounds like 1 has some serious potential on defense with size and speed, and the other 2 could be offensive threats. Did hear about the 2026 that is a freak in the weight room, and I’ve seen atleast one other 2026 that is a VERY large young man. Sounds like we’ve got another 2 headed monster with Tyson Henry and another young man who put up some very competitive times during track season. Curious to see who ends up at center. Also not sure about TE/H. Also hearing lots about a big shake up on our offensive playbook.

Braison Loftin is most likely gonna end up at center and Chase Metts at TE/H

Can someone influential suggest 7:30 start for us out of towners next year?
If not I’ll be late to home games

I read yesterday where DCTF 2026 Rising Top 100 has Aaron Wolford as a 3 star with a verbal commit to UH.

I believe today is first day in full pads for spring ball.

They changed that several years ago, so the news channels could get better coverage and still have time to get everything put together for the broadcast.

Makes sense

Live rep intersquad scrimmage on Saturday. Lots of key pieces still out for baseball and such so first week in pads was a tough read. But here are some highlights of what I did notice. Still trying to get a handle on all the new faces but here is what I got. At least one of the new 2027's that came over from basketball really seems like he could possibly earn starting job. The one playing safety, I only got a first name (Baylen), is VERY athletic, to the point I wouldn't be surprised if he took safety and they moved McLeod down to OLB. No reason to think this would happen but it seems plausible as our linebackers are a ? right now. The other Bball player of note (Johnathan) is taking reps at tight end tall lean frame (guessing 6'4 or 6'5", maybe ~200lbs) will need a LOT more reps to learn the blocking schemes and technique, but has some serious speed and GOOD hands. I hear Chris Diaz is coming back, but have yet to see him. Elijah Washington is getting some RB reps and that young man has got some wheels. He ran a 23.32 - 200m in T&F this year. Which is only .49 seconds of off Blair's PR that I could find. Although I imagine Henry will be our work horse I could see Washington being used situationally as we further develop our playbook. Cash Barnwell looks damn good at nose guard, he is very active, he is playing with a chip on his shoulder and it is impressive. I know it is early but I am going to go ahead and say I think we will continue to have one of the best O-Line's in the state. I'm guess it will end up LT to RT (Wolford, Lofton, Metts, Reeves, Black) OR (Wolford, Matney *the big freshman*, Lofton, Reeves, Black) this would open Metts back up to H/TE, where he may be needed. Also recently heard a rumor that there is a player who has moved back, unfortunately thats all the info I have. Sounds like he is a 2027 and was pretty good in his younger days and family has recently moved back to Groves. Still very early and have yet to even see the complete team; between competing sports, and a few not dressed out for injury or illness, but I am excited. Right now it feels more like a reload not a rebuild year. I think we will continue to be very competitive.

Awesome report. Thanks
