Underclassman of the Week

Atascocita 2020 OT Jermarques Bailey picked up his first offer from the Maryland Terrapins in the Big 10.
 
“I’m just extremely blessed and happy,” Bailey said. "I’m making my mom (Machelle Bailey) proud and my family  —  especially my mom  —  because she's my biggest motivation and I know she’s proud..."

Bailey is also receiving interest from schools like Baylor, LSU, Oklahoma, and TCU. 
 
Bailey will compete at the Next Level Athlete Top 100 Showcase at Barbers Hill High School in January.

Commit of the Week

Fort Bend Dulles 2019 ATH Ainias Smith announced his intentions to play at Texas A&M in college.

Ainias Smith

Smith — who received a letter of intent from the Aggies in the early signing period but did not sign — picked the Aggies over Duke.
 
Smith could play cornerback or wide receiver in college.
 
Smith — the younger brother of Miami Dolphins DB Maurice Smith — was the Next Level Athlete Top 100 Showcase WR MVP.

Prospect on the Rise

North Shore 2019 WR Ajani Carter caught a game-winning 45-yard touchdown pass to propel the Mustangs to a 6A DI State Title.
 
Carter — who is currently committed to UTEP — picked up an offer from Southern Miss the night of the state title win and has also added an offer from Louisiana-Monroe.
 
Utah State is another school to watch very closely in Carter's recruitment — especially if no P5 schools extend him an offer down the homestretch.
 
Carter will sign on National Signing Day (Feb. 6).

Recruit of the Week

Mansfield Timberview 2020 CB Jalen Kimber picked up an offer from the Texas Longhorns.
 
The ‘Horns join schools like Houston, SMU, TCU, Texas A&M, Baylor, and Oklahoma State on Kimber’s early offer list.
 
Kimber will compete at the Next Level Athlete Top 100 Showcase at LD Bell High School in January.
