“Texas is football country,” Castro said.

The four-star running back from Quitman, Mississippi, Ole Miss Deere has been visiting since late March. Alabama The impression throughout the weekend and behind the scenes is that the Crimson Tide are in a very strong position here.

Miami The Bulldogs and Georgia are “really close” in recruiting for Louis. They had Louis on campus for a weekend and he liked the Bulldogs’ culture and philosophy, so it feels like a two-team battle right now.

Wisconsin caught his eye and the four-star running back from Plantation (Fla.) American Heritage will get another chance at Florida State this weekend, but the Hurricanes and Bulldogs now have a big edge. The intensity of the University of Georgia program really made a big impression on Louis during the trip.

Washington, Missouri and USC are also likely contenders for him, but Florida may be the team to beat right now.

Notre Dame will likely edge out Florida, Ohio State and others to land the Irish top four-star linebacker, but the Buckeyes made a big push last weekend to land the star player from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.

Owusu-Boateng liked the “integrity” of the staff and the fact that everyone in the building has a common goal.

Ohio State’s coaching staff has discussed how the four-star linebacker can impact the pass and run game, and that was music to his ears during his visit.

Baylor’s coaching staff made Watson feel truly at home during his visit to Waco last weekend, and a boat tour of the stadium was definitely a highlight for the four-star receiver from Shadow Creek in Pearland, Texas.
