Not at all. Folks are all over the board with him but I don't think he ends up in Fayetteville.

He's for sure going to to OV's to Bama, Okie State and Arkansas and possibly LSU and Auburn. I think unless something changes, he'll go to either Bama or Okie State.

Not at all. Arkansas pretty much takes whoever they want from FHS. The FHS campus is seriously right across the street from the UA campus. We'll have 3-4 starters from there this year and have more players on the roster total from there than any other school.

The fact that Arkansas never even offered him says a lot. All of the recruiting guys have said that he's buried himself in so deep of an academic hole that he won't be able to get out. Hence my comment on the recruiting board.

I honestly don't know much about him. He came to one of our summer camps and flat out dominated so the coaches offered.

Got on the radar of the coaches at the Houston satellite camp. Coaches quickly got him on campus and locked up.

Yeah someone that close to campus. The staff knows something for sure.

Katy is a power house so he plays top notch competition. I will be interested to watch him this season.

Picked up a walk on safety for the '16 class.
6-1, 185. Pretty good speed, reported 4.4.
Rhett Conner out of El Dorado.
Played in the HS All Star game.
Maybe he can develop into a contributor. Can't coach size and speed.

Is LSU looking at him? I'm curious why you would ask about him specifically.

I don't believ so. I just keep up with the TX HS football. I like to see where these kids end up.

So what's the deal with not offering Byers? Just grades?

He has an extremely low core GPA and the likelihood of him qualifying without a trip to a JUCO first is slim.

Unless your admissions will change grades it won't happen.

Bama likely took him to apply pressure to other key targets by saying slots are getting taken so hop on board or risk missing the boat. Only other thing would be maybe Saban wants to have a relationship with him before he goes to JUCO and allowing him to commit now could be favorable in the future.

So no character issues? I saw where another Arky fan insinuated that on the SECRb.
