Joseph Credit of Pearland is narrowing list
Class of 2026 Pearland three-star linebacker Joseph Credit dropped his Top 8 schools in February, featuring Arizona State, Baylor, Kansas, Houston, SMU, Texas A&M, and TCU.
Now, with a plan to commit sometime in May, Credit has lined up official visits to four of his finalists. These visits will play a key role in his decision-making process.
The Latest on His Recruitment
The recruiting journey can be a rollercoaster, but Credit has handled the process with maturity and focus.
“The recruiting process has been going good,” Credit said. “I’ve been talking to these coaches and looking at the opportunities I have.”
The 6-foot linebacker has set official visits to Kansas (April 4–6), Arizona State (April 8–10), TCU (April 11–13), and UCLA (May 5–7).
Though his official visits will certainly help him get a feel for each program, Credit emphasizes that the relationships and conversations leading up to them will be the real deciding factors.
“I feel like it’s not going to be the official visit that does it for me,” he said. “It’s going to be everything that led up to that point. That said, what I’m really looking for on my visits is the scheme—and how I would be utilized in it.”
With a May commitment looming, expect programs to make a final push over the next month as they aim to earn the talented linebacker’s pledge.

Amari Nickerson is the Big Man on Campus at Cypress Ranch, recruiting circles.
The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Kevin Vickerson starred at Michigan State and played eight years in the NFL. Now, his son, Amari Vickerson, is becoming the Big Man on Campus at Cypress Ranch High School and a highly sought-after recruit on a national scale.
“My dad has been training me since I was six years old,” Amari said. “When we aren’t talking football, we go fishing, play College Football 25, or watch sports like boxing or MMA.
“When it’s time to work, though, it’s time to work.”
Vickerson has offers from nearly every Power 4 program, and he’s just getting started. Watching football with his father, he admires the playing styles of Jalen Carter (Eagles), Von Miller (Bills), Myles Garrett (Browns), and J.J. Watt (former Texan).
“Yeah, I know the sacks and tackles for loss will be there because of my size, leverage, and hands,” the 6-foot-5, 290-pound defensive tackle said. “But I’m really working on my feet and my get-off right now. I’m focused on becoming dominant by combining technique with my size.”
What does he do to unwind?
“I love to work out, of course, but I also love to meditate,” Amari said. “It just calms my mind before a game or when things get stressful.”
This weekend, he’ll be headed to Texas A&M as he kicks off the "Amari Vickerson Road Tour".
“I’m looking for brotherhood, great facilities, and a coaching staff that can develop me,” he said. “A degree is important to me because I want to get into real estate or run my own business in the future. I want to learn how to talk business and understand what I’m talking about.”
His best football is still ahead of him, along with a bright future.
