Alright so some general/weird info here that I’m not sure has been posted yet.
-Tristen Newton has a brother who is also in the portal who played 4 years at Evansville. He’s actually a pretty good player.
-The Newton’s are from El Paso Texas, but neither brother received an offer from their hometown university, UTEP.
-Furthermore, the Newton’s cousin is Green Bay packers RB Aaron Jones, who is probably UTEPs most famous alum. Aaron’s brother also played football at UTEP.
-There are tweets out there from Aaron imploring UTEP to offer the Newton brothers but that seemingly never happened (probably a mistake)
-The last carrot here is that Kimani went to UTEP. Not sure if the Newton’s mom or dad went to UTEP but with the UTEP connection in the family I’d say it’s a possibility. Either way there’s probably some sort of El Paso-area connection to take advantage of there. This might also explain why Kimani wasn’t watching Castle this weekend (Murray and more were there) even though he was the lead recruiter on Castle, because he might also have the best connection in to Newton.
