He sure turned around a visit quickly. Back in October 2023, @dycane said F$U had traction with him, so maybe he wants to play in Florida?

Didn’t we try to get that beast DE from Duncanville last year? Name escapes me. We gotta win some games to win battles like that though I think

We tip toe into TX every year for a couple elite recruits. We'll see if this is more of the same or the first of many serious recruitments.
