Yes

Scout update on his recruitment:

“I definitely want to go see Alabama, Clemson, Baylor and of course I want to go see Colorado,” La'Vontae said of his future visit plans.

I don't like putting hopes on family ties when dealing with recruits, but Laviska seems like the type of guy who is good at convincing others to join him. I'm fairly certain he was crucial in getting Nixon to stay here.

 

[Duff Man]

Ranked #66 in an initial top 80 for the 2019 Texas class by the A&M 247 site.

And he's barely seen the field yet iirc?

 

[Uncle Luko]

He's got some long ass arms already.

 

[Duff Man]

And he's barely seen the field yet iirc?

Correct. He should see plenty of attention during the SEP.

 

[Duff Man]

Illinois and Utah have offered recently. Good buzz on him from DeSoto's spring practices.

 

[Duff Man]

Has added offers from K-State, Oklahoma State, and West Virginia as the SEP draws to a close.

 

[TDforTD]

TCU offered.

 

[TimmyDUBs]

WRU!

 

[HawaiiBUFF]

Excited that we have solid in's with brothers already on the team. Would love to land Shenault + Lytle for '19.

 

[Duff Man]

Nice junior season thus far: 48 catches/649 yards/6 TDs.

 

[DBT]

He's got some long ass arms already.

Oops. NM. Must avoid The Island.

 

[MtnBuff]

HIs brother is already showing flashes of being a special player.

LaVontae on tape shows a lot of the same characteristics. Getting them both on the field at the same time could be a nightmare for some defensive coordinators.

In addition to their skills I love the toughness. These guys are football players.

[lawdogg]

That would work as well...

 

[Buffnik]

Oh my.

Chev getting an “in” with DeSoto is pretty amazing. Having a nice pipeline with them as a non Texas/B12/$EC is so impressive.

Allbuffs be like

 

[buffaholic]

Would love to see an early commitment here. Helps sell this class, which can be huge.

Those Shenault boys are beefy

 

[Duff Man]

Ranked #66 in an initial top 80 for the 2019 Texas class by the A&M 247 site.

Moved up to #57 in their updated rankings in January.

Seems like Oklahoma State is recruiting him hard right now.

 

[TDforTD]

Another one
