Even quiet weeks in regards to commitment movement still feature plenty of recruiting-relevant topics to discuss.
For this week’s Louisiana vs. All Y’all “Recruit Dat Boot,” cohosts Jerit Roser and Sam Spiegelman shared some thoughts on the start to former Isidore Newman star Arch Manning‘s tenure as the Texas Longhorns’ starting quarterback, as well as a little love for his fellow passers from the state’s talented 2023 class.
Eli Holstein (Zachary) had a great 2024 at Pittsburgh and has put up even stronger numbers early in 2025, Rickie Collins (Woodlawn-Baton Rouge) is taking on a bigger role at Syracuse following Steven Angeli’s injury and C’zavian “Zae” Teasett (Scotlandville) has led Grambling State to back-to-back comeback wins.
Plus, the NCAA Oversight Committee voted to eliminate the spring transfer portal window for football, and Sam and Jerit share some updates on a few 2026, 2027 and 2028 prospects — committed seniors being pushed by other programs for potential flips and juniors and sophomores starting to gain some early recruiting traction.
A few current high school prospects of note featured in this week’s episode: Ouachita Parish defensive lineman Dylan Berymon (Texas), Captain Shreve running back Jamarcea Plater (Wake Forest), St. Thomas More quarterback Cole Bergeron (Virginia Tech), Lafayette Christian wide receiver Brayden Allen (Tulane), 2027 Alexandria edge rusher Bryson Phoenix and 2028 Ruston running back Dalen Powell, among others.
Make sure to keep an eye on the Louisiana vs. All Y’all channel for fresh episodes of “Recruit Dat Boot” every week, which will typically be scheduled for release on Wednesday mornings — with occasional exceptions such as this week.
