LOOK: 3 of the top 4 OTs in the nation all visiting Texas A&M
There may have been no safer place in America for a quarterback on Saturday than in the stands of Kyle Field in College Station, Texas.
Three of the nation’s top four offensive tackle recruits were visiting Texas A&M: Charlestown (Ind.) five-star offensive tackle Kiyaunta Goodwin, Humble (Texas) Summer Creek five-star offensive tackle Kelvin Banks and Dickinson (Texas) four-star offensive tackle PJ Williams.
All three are committed to different schools — for now. Goodwin is a verbal to Kentucky, Banks to Oregon and Williams to the Aggies.
But they stood side-by-side Saturday and formed a menacing brick wall for fans walking by. Goodwin posted photos of the three of them on Twitter.
Goodwin is the top-ranked offensive tackle in the country, slotting in at No. 14 in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
Banks is the second-best tackle at No. 18 overall and Williams is the fourth-best offensive tackle and No. 65 overall recruit.
The No. 3 overall offensive tackle, Seattle Rainier Beach’s Josh Conerly Jr., is on an unofficial visit to USC.
Kiyaunta Goodwin and Kelvin Banks are potential flips from their commitments
Both Kiyaunta Goodwin and Kelvin Banks are included on Jeremy Crabtree’s list of potential decommitments before early signing period.
Banks committed to Oregon over the summer but Texas and Texas A&M have not stoped their pursuit of the elite lineman.
Goodwin has been touring a bunch of schools over the past few weeks, including Alabama, Michigan State and Florida State. He will also be visiting Michigan next weekend for The Game.
He told On3’s Chad Simmons this week he was excited to meet the Aggies staff in person.
“I like the fact that they are not afraid to play guys early, allowing them to develop under fire,” Goodwin said. “I see a team under coach Jimbo Fisher that is going to the next level.”
