Three-star wideout Jordan Shipp cut his offer list to 8 schools.

Roger Gradney, ATH, Altair, TX (Rice Consolidated HS), #155 Nationally, #19 ATH, #23 TX

Roger Gradney committed to Nebraska over schools like Campbell, Texas Tech, and UTSA. Gradney is 6-1 and 190 pounds and can play defensive back and wide receiver, along with some special teams. Gradney is Matt Rhule‘s first commitment in Nebraska’s 2024 recruiting class. Landing a top 250 recruit from Texas is a good start for Rhule in his first-ever recruiting cycle.

Tyanthony Smith, LB, Jasper, TX (Jasper HS), #324 Nationally, #26 LB, #52 TX

Four-star linebacker Tyanthony Smith is a prospect whose recruitment is taking a huge jump. Smith received offers from Alabama and Notre Dame in February. Smith is also set to take his first visit to Tuscaloosa on March 4th for an unofficial visit. Texas A&M is also the heavy favorite to land Smith, with a 79.8% chance. He recently visited the Aggies on January 29th for a junior day visit.

Tysean Griffin, Chicago, IL (Morgan Park HS), #61 ATH, #11 IL

Three-star ATH out of Illinois Tysean Griffin released his top ten schools. He is ranked No. 377 nationally on the 247 composite rankings. Tennesee, Maryland, Michigan State, Illinois, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Purdue, and Lousiville were all included. Missouri is currently the favorite, with a 25.8% chance, according to On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine. Tennessee has a 22.6% chance, followed by Nebraska with a 19.4% chance, and Maryland with a 16.1% chance to land his commitment. However, I’m skeptical of these predictions. Wisconsin and Illinois are also two contenders to watch here.
