The Texas state track and field meet began at Mike A. Myers Stadium on the University of Texas campus, featuring events for the 3A and 4A classifications. Some prominent football recruits attended the event, including DJ Sanders, a defensive tackle from Bellville, Texas. Sanders, who is considering Baylor, Michigan, Texas, and Texas A&M for official visits, has family ties to Michigan and Baylor, adding intrigue to his decision-making process. Despite expectations of a Texas vs. Texas A&M battle, Baylor seems to be in a stronger position than anticipated, thanks to Sanders’ cousin Richard Reese’s previous experience with the Bears. Sanders plans to make a decision between August and September.
