Name to keep an eye on in the 2023 class
Houston (TX) Dekaney High School four-star wide receiver Jonah Wilson decommitted from Texas over the weekend. He let me know that he would like to take a visit to Waco this Fall for a game.The 6'4, 200-pound prospect showed strong interest in Baylor before deciding to commit to Texas.Through five games of his senior year he has posted 647 yards and six touchdowns on 37 receptions.Keep an eye on Wilson as the staff looks to add some top players to an already loaded 2023 class. Wide receiver would definitely be a position of interest if the right prospect is available such as Wilson. He would be a sensational get in this class as I have him ranked as a four-star with a 92 overall rating but has a chance to move up after seeing his mid-season film. His composite ranking puts him at No. 253 nationally as he is a four-star a top 50 player in the state.https://www.hudl.com/video/3/14867609/633aea18da51120ab4e35f32

Note on 4-star WR
Deakaney 2023 wide receiver Jonah Wilson let me know that he will be taking a visit to Baylor next week. This will likely be for an unofficial visit as he is trying to get to Waco before the dead period starts. If he takes an official visit my guess is that it would be after the season unless the staff decides to hold a mid-season OV weekend. At this time he is not 100% sure he will take one to Baylor though.I have mentioned that I don't see Baylor taking another WR in this class unless the prospect is a best availiable type. Wilson fits that best player availiable mold as a potential second WR in the class.He is taking an official visit to Texas this weekend.I will add more as I hear it.
