Not much for highlights available yet:

 

Brother of current commit?

 

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.

 

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?

 

He's got some long ass arms already.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

TCU offered.

 

WRU!

 

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

 

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

 

Oops. NM. Must avoid The Island.

 

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.

 

That would work as well...

 

Oh my.

 

Followed/followed back by Ty Evans on twitter yesterday.

 

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

 

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

Those Shenault boys are beefy

 

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

Seems like Oklahoma State is recruiting him hard right now.

 

Another one

 

POWERS IS A BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG ONE
