Collins Acheampong Flips, Tony Mitchell's Latest Visit, and Other Names in the News

–3-star DL Cameron Brandt, Sierra Canyon High School, Chatsworth, California.

Cameron Brandt is the No. 435 overall, No. 51 defensive lineman, and No. 27 player in California who is committed to the Stanford Cardinal. However, he received an offer from the Texas Longhorns on Monday night. Brandt has been committed to the Cardinal since July 30, and this offer comes a couple of days after David Shaw stepped down as head coach. The Longhorns class ranks No. 4 overall and has two defensive linemen. So they could have a good chance to flip him.

–5-star S Tony Mitchell, Thompson High School, Alabaster, Alabama.

Tony Mitchell is the No. 34 overall, No. 3 safety, and No. 7 player in Alabama and is committed to the Alabama Crimson Tide. However, he will be visiting the Texas A&M Aggies on December 16. Mitchell said that he still talks to the Aggie staff. 

"We still stay in contact. The interest is still there. A lot of the coaches on staff always stay in contact with me." 

The Tide is still the team to beat. However, with a visit to College Station and the interest there, I think the Aggies have a real shot at flipping him.

–4-star RB Kendrick Raphael, Naples High School, Naples, Florida.

Kendrick Raphael is the No. 392 overall, No. 28 running back, and No. 76 player in Florida, and he committed to N.C. State Wolfpack on Tuesday morning. He had committed to the Iowa Hawkeyes in June before backing off his pledge on September 21, and the Wolfpack began to really pursue him. Raphael chose N.C. State over the Boston College Eagles, BYU Cougars, Iowa State Cyclones, Minnesota Golden Gophers, Pittsburgh Panthers, Purdue Boilermakers, and West Virginia Mountaineers. The Wolfpack class now has 15 commitments and ranks at No. 38 overall.
