Another strong video.  Two way player with great ball skills at WR, speed, strong play recognition, loves contact, speed rusher, good coverage skills and good on special teams.

From 247:

-A couple East Texans saw their first offers when ULL came calling this week. West Rusk linebacker Tyree Wilson is an intriguing prospect at 6-foot-4, 225 pounds. He could also end up as a pass-rushing defensive end. Texarkana Pleasant Grove linebacker Xavier Benson (6-3/200) was the other new ULL offeree."

Noticed in an article about yesterday's commitments that Benson was a teammate of Savage at Tyler JUCO and was the Southwest Junior College Football Conference defensives POY.  We recruited him out of high school where he eventually committed to TX Tech.  Wonder if we have been talking to him again.

In 12 games played this season, Savage was Tyler’s third-best tackler with 70 total tackles, including one tackle for loss, along with a team-high five interceptions and three pass breakups. That production earned him All-Southwest Junior College Football Conference first team honors as teammate Xavier Benson (120 tackles, 15.5 TFLs) brought home the SWJCFC Defensive Player of the Year award. Savage also tallied 30 tackles, one pass breakup and an interception in 2020.
