Official visit schedules and experiences are starting to clear up questions about some of the most sought-after recruits in Texas. Even some committed prospects are reconsidering some of their options heading into the second half of the college football season. Here is an update on four of the state's biggest names.
Damion Daniels favors Colorado

Offers from: Everywhere
The situation: Daniels beefed up his offer list over the spring and is one of the more coveted interior defensive linemen in the state in this class. He has begun taking official visits, but his shortlist of finalists is similarly representative of the diversity of his total offer list.
The favorite: Colorado
Colorado has been aggressive in the state of Texas and recruits all have had positive things to say about the program regardless if they commit to the Buffaloes or not. Daniels likes the variety of roles he could play in Colorado’s defense and has taken several visits to Boulder.
The other option: Nebraska
Daniels’ interest in Nebraska is partly what influenced Calloway to give the Huskers a look. The success of the team and the atmosphere in Lincoln has proven an attractive combination at the moment. The Huskers rolled out the red carpet for Daniels during his visit last month and set a high bar for his subsequent official trips.
But don’t count out: Texas-San Antonio
Texas-San Antonio isn’t often a name heard from athletes that are otherwise nationally recruited, but Daniels was impressed with the Roadrunners near-victory over Arizona State and the team’s recent victory over Southern Miss. UTSA is also helped by being an in-state option.
