So, who is the team to beat right now? Who is setting the bar heading into a busy offseason full of visits?

Top suitors starting to emerge for Top247 defensive back Chace Calicut
Tom Loy (247 Sports)

 

Houston (Texas) North Shore Top247 safety Chace Calicut is one of the top overall players in the class of 2026. The 6-3, 190-pounder is a long, rangy, extremely gifted prospect, who 247Sports ranks as the No. 183 overall player in the nation.

On the recruiting front, Calicut has two official visits locked in. He'll take other spring visits, and additional officials, and then make a commitment this summer.

Here's the latest.


Calicut will take an official visit to Texas on June 13.

"It's their coaching. The new defensive backs coach that came in, he's from my side of town. He grew up and graduated from my school," said Calicut of his interest in the Longhorns. "He knows what it's like to be an Eastside boy from Houston. I really respect that. He knows how to coach well."

He'll take an official visit to Michigan on June 20.

"Lamar Morgan, that's my guy. He's a really good coach and a good guy," said Calicut. "He tells you how it is, right or wrong, on and off of the field. I really respect and appreciate that."

Florida State entered the race on February 11. They offered and things have been heating up ever since.

"They got all of my clips finally and they saw I could move," he said. "I'm really interested in checking them out. That was my dream school when I was little. Them and LSU."

LSU is a school he mentions often. They aren't pushing too hard quite yet. If they take it up a notch, they'll have a great shot.

Regarding additional official visits, there are 

"I definitely got to get to Oregon, Alabama, SMU and LSU for sure."

So, who is the team to beat right now? Who is setting the bar heading into a busy offseason full of visits?

"It's UT, for sure."

Naeem Burroughs to Clemson.

Dabo is going to try and throw him in a treasure chest with pillows on top and not let him out until signing day. I am sure the mental manipulation will be minimal at best.

Anyone know whether Eric Dickerson and Naeem’s mom were vacationing in the same place 17 to 18 years ago?

Indiana is one of only a few states I’ve not visited, which doesn’t bother me. My little brother played in a world series tournament for 2 weeks in Lafayette once. When he came home, I asked him what Indiana was like.  “Dude, it’s nothing in every direction for as far as you can see. “ Okay, then.  

Fuck that sounds wonderful.

 

 

edit: oh, it’s FLAT everywhere. That sounds hideous. I live in SETX and it’s flat as fuck. No thanks. Now, the lack of PEOPLE? That would be great.

This is a stupid take. 6’3.5” is plenty tall enough in the college game for interior lineman. There are so many more important traits for 18-22 year old offensive lineman than height.

One thing that Pate is actually good at is knowing how to drive likes, views and clicks. He is constantly either kissing the ass of the biggest brands, or trying to piss off their fanbases. 

His show is boring and milquetoast to me. CFB fans are overly emotional and easily riled so I guess it works for him but I don’t see him as a flamethrower. 
 

I put him in the same category as JD Pickell. “Let’s use as many words as possible to not say anything too interesting”.

He’s definitely changed since his show got bigger.

He's no longer dollar store Josh Pate?

Pate's opinions are strongly influenced by 'insiders' like looch and valuing the words spouted by the coaches he interviews as absolute (mario and Lincoln). Now that he is in this influencer sphere where he interviews coaches,  he's not going to say anything harsh and completely truthful as it would impact his access. So he just says the same things about every school that said team could win 10 games. 

His anti "you are what your record says you are" stance is getting old....among other things. 

 

JD definitely pays bills with his Aggie content alone. Even Aggies are a bit suspicious about his fluctuating optimism in the comment section.

Indiana is not flat everywhere. It has hilly parts in the southeastern portion. Don't get me wrong, a lot of Indiana is flat but not all. I would say parts are hillier than the piney woods of East Texas.

Indiana corn and tomatoes are great. That’s all I got. My family is from there. 

Pate is either kissing the asses of those he deems powerful in college football or criticizing fans.

KRS-One's the dad, IMO

What I read Gerry saying here is that Georgia and Clemson lead for Atkinson by a decent margin over Texas and others. Not surprising with Georgia, but to see Clemson putting together a potential top 3-5 class is. I guess there's overweight in this cycle for talent from NC down through Georgia, so it makes sense that they'd benefit when that happens. 

Gerry:

Latest on Peach State 5-star

OnTexasFootball spoke with a person in the circle of Grayson High (Loganville, Ga.) 5-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson Monday night. 

Atkinson, 6-foot-2 and 210-pounds, visited Clemson and Georgia in the last three days. Both will be in the recruitment until the very end. 

OTF was asked during Monday nights Talkin' Ball if Atkinson had essentially cut Texas from his list. 

According to the source, Texas remains very much in the mix for the Peach State star. OTF believes that Atkinson will likely be back on campus prior to making a decision. Could that change? It's recruiting so always a chance, but this person has maintained for months that Atkinson would visit Texas again. 

Clemson, Georgia, Texas, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Auburn and Tennessee are the schools  mentioned the most. 

Peach State official visits locked in for June ...

Guys that commit to Clemson tend to sign with Clemson. Generalizations are great and all, yet I was touching on something specific and impervious to your lazy position.

2025:
Isaiah Campbell - Clemson > Tennessee
Tae Harris - Clemson > GaTech
Bryce Davis - Clemson > Duke
Graceson Littleton - Clemson > Texas
Jordan Young - Clemson > Michigan
Blake Hebert - Clemson > Notre Dame
Jaylan Beckley - Clemson > OkSt

2024: 
None

2023:
Ray Ray Joseph - Clemson > Miami
Reid Mikeska - Clemson > South Carolina

2022:
Jihaad Campbel - Clemson > Alabama
Daylen Everette - Clemson > Georgia
Keon Sabb - Clemson > Michigan
Jaren Kanak - Clemson > Oklahoma

2021:
Korey Foreman - Clemson > USC
Jordan Hancock - Clemson > Ohio St

 

15 decommits in the past 5 years that signed with another program. 2023 had a decommit that ended up back in the class. Nice specifics BTW!

I was born on a hill in Indiana, so this hits close to home.

Northern Indiana is flat as fuck.

Southern Indiana is Hillbilly as fuck.

You're probably looking for Hillbilly as fuck.
