When Mansfield (Texas) Aledo 2026 running back Raycine Guillory began the season, he had six offers. A solid start to his sophomore season has seen the offer sheet double, with some of the nation’s top programs getting involved. Auburn, Baylor, Georgia, Texas, Oklahoma, and USC have all gotten in the mix over the past month.

Those offers have been hard work paying off for Guillory after spending his freshman season at Mansfield (Texas) Lake Ridge.

“It’s been great,” Guillory said. “I’m just blessed to have options like that. I worked hard all summer for it. I’m working hard for it so I know it’s going to come.”

Signing day for the 2026 class is not until Dec. 2025, meaning Guillory is still early in the process. At this point in his recruitment, building relationships is the biggest the Guillory is looking for.

“My goal is to just find a home,” Guillory said. “Find a relationship, get a relationship with coaches. Find somewhere I know I fit the program and probably help them get to a championship.”

TCU ‘dream’ offer, presents opportunity to be hometown hero

Guillory received three offers on Sept. 6 but one was described as a “dream” for him. Houston and Oregon got involved in the 2026’s recruitment but TCU did as well. Growing up not too far from campus, Guillory views the Horned Frogs as an opportunity to be a hometown here.

“I grew up in Fort Worth,” Guillory said. “I grew up in a barber shop on Berry Street, right down the street from TCU… Me being from Fort Worth, I want to be a hometown hero. Getting that TCU offer was a dream come true. Growing up, all I heard was ‘TCU, TCU’ because it’s right down the street. It’s my dream school.”

Aledo and TCU’s campuses are separated by less than 20 miles, being a real hometown recruitment for RB coach Anthony Jones. Playing college football right down the street seems to have a real appeal to Guillory.

Red River schools latest to offer Raycine Guillory following recent trips

One of the few trips Guillory has made this season is to Oklahoma, taking in the Sooners’ win against Iowa State. He took in the scene in Norman and is enjoying what Oklahoma is currently putting out on the field.

“It was a great atmosphere,” Guillory said. “They’re doing their thing right now. So, it was a great experience.”

Now off the big Red River Shootout win against Texas, Oklahoma is the latest to offer Guillory. DeMarco Murray has a great reputation on the trail and has been contacting Guillory in recent times.

Further down I-35, Guillory appeared in Austin for the Wyoming game but had to leave at halftime and was not able to catch up with the Texas staff. His next goal is to make another trip to the 40 Acres and connect with Tashard Choice in person.

“Talking to Coach Choice on the phone, he sounds like a great guy,” Guillory said, with Texas offering on Oct. 9. “Very energized and I’m ready to get back down there and meet him in real life.”

USC trip in the works next month

If there is one team coming after Guillory the hardest at the moment, it’s USC. Running back coach Kiel McDonald has been building a relationship with the running back and his family, especially since offering on Oct. 4.

“He’s been hitting me up every day,” Guillory said on McDonald. “Hitting my Dad up. We’ve just been talking, building a relationship.”

A November trip out to Los Angeles is in the works for Guillory, either for USC’s home game against Washington or UCLA. It would mark his first time visiting the Trojans, trying to get a feel for the program Lincoln Riley is building out West.

“I’m just looking for a vibe,” Guillory said. “I’m trying to see what it’s like out there. I want to see how they’re coaching, how they get prepared for the game. How they welcome a person from Texas coming all the way to Cali. Just looking for relationships, how they build it.”

Georgia and Oregon were another two schools Guillory mentioned as he continues to build relationships through the process. Guillory is not ranked per the On3 Industry Rankings quite yet but with all of the offers beginning to stack up, it’s coming sooner rather than later.
