EJ Holland on Hudson Card and Haynes King
Card vs. King — The debate has been brought up over and over again on the message board. Look, both Haynes King and Hudson Card looked terrific at The Opening and earned Elite 11 invitations. The four-star signal-callers have their own cases as being the quarterback prospect in the state this cycle. Quite frankly, I don’t think you're wrong if you go with Card over King or King over Card. It’s a tough decision. But the bottom line is Card is UT’s quarterback take, and people should be excited. This dude is a stud at the position and much further along as a passer than Sam Ehlinger was at this time in his career. Card also posted a 38-inch vertical and 4.03 shuttle and was an all-state caliber wide receiver as a sophomore. He’s a tremendous athlete at 6-foot-3, 180 pounds.
Holland also Texas weathered the tree storm on Lindberg
Four-star offensive lineman Chad Lindberg, one of the most important targets in the class, made an unofficial visit to Stanford over the weekend. Going into the trip, I said Texas had the advantage but made it clear that his time in Palo Alto could change things. So how do I feel now? I think Texas weathered the storm and is still the team to beat in this race. I’m told the family really enjoyed their time out West but that it wasn’t enough to push the Cardinal over the edge. Stanford didn't move down at all, but again, I don't think it moved past Texas. Georgia and Clemson are likely to receive visits next.
Stanford topped Texas for Walker Little a couple of cycles ago and he and his mother are involved in recruiting Lindberg to Palo Alto. However, Little was not on campus to spend time with Lindberg this weekend. By the way, Cindy Card, mother of Texas quarterback commit Hudson Card, called Lindberg’s mother, Emily, last night and had a great conversation with her. Texas offensive line commits Logan Parr and Jake Majors are planning to reach out to Lindberg this week. The three are growing close.
