Exciting times for Texas State football! My upcoming 2024 evaluations will reveal the real gems. Reflecting on 2023, proud of how we compare to mainstream media. Stay tuned for more insights post-bowl season!

Quick Reminder: GJ Kinne believes in competition at each position every year. He will always recruit the best talent he can. If you don’t want to compete, Texas State is not the school for you.

: Tellek Lockette, RG
Meet Tellek, an impressive 6'4", 330-pound RG from ULM! Spoiler Alert: He's really good, and the pedigree is just the icing on the cake.

: Issiah Walker
His journey has been a rollercoaster of commitments and transfers. From highly recruited 4Star out of HS to Juco All-American, will he shine in San Marcos? The stage is set up perfectly for him.

Finley is going to get paid next year, and good for him. Luckily we have the inside track to retain him. He's playing the bowl game because he wants to stay. Can we get him a nice NIL deal? UTSA got it done for Frank Harris. We need to do it for Finley.
Lets continue this TXST party!!! Excited to introduce Jermy Jackson as my
#1
pick in this 2024 early signing class. He brings Jordan Revels vibes. 🏈

Tom Osborne would develop a kid like this into an All-American. Does it happen here?

We need WRs and we recruited maybe the fastest guy on our team. FCS Freshman All-American who led Joey Hobert's former team in receptions and receiving TDs.

: James "Freakin" Neal, LB
The man who shook up my rankings. He's a bona fide D1 starting linebacker who excels both on and off the field. Looking forward to watching this man play.

Kylen Evans is my

: Steven Parker, DE
We lost one of my all-time favorites, Jordan Revels and 5 other rotational DEs from last year. Will Steven Parker help fill the void? Here are my thoughts.

: Donte Thompson, CB
Will Donte, a starter from the 2022 UIW semi-finals team, make an impact for the Bobcats like his former teammates? Donte's journey to San Marcos is intriguing.

I kicked this one. My gut told me the data was wrong but I stuck to the process, which isn't foolproof. Never been happier to be wrong. He is Danny Amendola!
"This is an evaluation that I have a feeling will come back to bite me..."
Sunbelt is so good that TXST is a missed PAT from beating the best CUSA had to offer..ugh. Confident our young players close those games out next year. Also, Sunbelt has caught up to middle of the road P5 programs. Only blowout Louisiana had was against Iowa State.
@Keff_C
Love how many of us have progressed to the point where therapy is no longer associated with weakness but confidence and strength. Wins are great but his leadership is even better. What a great representation of our school.

In the past 20 years, three QBs from Brad's high school have gone on to play in the NFL. Brad brings Ivy League intelligence and impressive athletic abilities.

: Trez Moore, CB
Formerly Latrez Shelton, Trez brings D1 production and a Barrick Nealy endorsement. I created a comparison of his stats vs our CBs, and I was a bit surprised. Is he the same player?

McGregor is 3-5 in his last 8 fights and has been stopped in all 5 loses. Aside from Diego Sanchez, I'm not sure there's anyone Connor can beat right now.

Just FYI. She beat Simone just last month in the Olympic Trials, which was the first time anyone had done so in 7 years. Both ladies are awesome and should be celebrated.

: Tice Williams
Developmental player with smarts and size. Coach McCoil is the perfect mentor for Tice. Plus, having vets like Tory Spears and Kaleb Culp to learn from doesn't hurt.

Great guy, terrific interview, and one time Rivals 5-Star recruit. I attempt to figure out why his on-field production hasn't matched his physical gifts thus far.

New Evaluation: Jordan Martin
Drawing praise from Coach Kinne and comparisons to Kole Wilson, there are areas of concern as well as lots of reasons to be excited about this incoming WR.

GJ Kinne and

have used this recruiting cycle to reconnect with the grassroots

landscape.
“They are doing what Texas State should have been doing all along."
On the first recruiting class of the new regime in San Marcos:
@FlurrySports
Min 3 years. If he wins the conference by the end of his second year, TXST may have to renegotiate the contract. If he's unsuccessful, and there's no way that is remotely possible as hard as they work, they will be given at least 3 years to make a bowl. Bowling next year, IMO!
Shout out to
@ColtonBMc
for asking great questions during the TXST Spring Press Conferences. Great job pressing coach Dex to give us some names. Also, thanks for asking about Kylen.

Another product of St. Thomas Aquinas HS (you'll hear this again). Very productive Juco transfer from Navarro.

@slmandel
What does Tech vs Okie St or TCU vs Kansas do on a premium network? They produced strong numbers on FS1. Outperformed West Virgnia vs Texas by a wide margin.
As mentioned by another account, I highly recommend following this individual! He skillfully analyzes athletes using a calculated formula and provides X/5 stars depending on the result. 🔥
I'm personally a big fan of his work.

Spears is a bona fide NFL prospect who, before getting injured, started ahead of PFF All-Sunbelt Culp. Returning two starting OTs is a big deal, so would rate Obigbo top 10. We couldn't have these types of debates a couple of years ago.

@TXSTATEFOOTBALL
Measured by level of difficulty, that is a top 5 catch of all-time. Up there with Lynn Swann’s Super Bowl ballet sideline catch.
Behind a paywall, but it's one of the best dollars I've spent as a Texas State fan.

I watched a replay of BYU vs Utah Tech and was reminded of Danny Amendola. TXST NEEDS WRS!!! Here are the two latest WR signees.

It absolutely was improved. They could of played Sam Houston, UTEP, etc... and boosted the record. Instead they played the toughest schedule in the history of the program with an entirely new roster. Be patient.
