ULM remains busy in East Texas. Two night-time offers went out to a pair of offensive linemen.

The Palestine coaching staff confirmed with ETSN.fm that ULM offered 2014 lineman Brian Thlang at 8:45 p.m. Thursday. Nacogdoches 2014 lineman Jacob Bragg also received an offer, according to his mother, who announced the offer on Twitter.

The ULM offer came on the same day for Bragg as an offer from hometown program Stephen F. Austin State. The 6-foot-4, 311-pound Bragg, who starts at center for the Dragons, holds four offers, three of which come from FBS schools: Kansas, Louisiana Tech, and ULM.

Bragg, who won the O-line MVP at an April Nike Football Training Camp in Dallas, was the co-MVP of the 14-player offensive linemen group along with Van 2015 guard Wyatt Santos at the May 19 ETSN.fm Football Recruiting Combine. Shortly after that, Bragg was extended an invitation to the prestigious Nike recruiting camp called The Opening, which features 150 of the nation's elite recruits at a four-day event June 30 through July 3 in Beaverton, Ore. Mount Pleasant receiver K.D. Cannon, who has more than 20 offers, has also been invited to The Opening.

The offer was the first for the 6-foot-2, 290-pound Thlang, who was the third Palestine Wildcat to receive an offer from the Warhawks on Thursday. They also offered 2014 running back Ben Luckett and 2014 linebacker Jarrell Owens, who got a Texas Tech offer less than four weeks ago. North Texas is one of a hand full of other schools that have also shown interest in Thlang.

Thlang's offer means 27 players in East Texas' 2014 football recruiting class now hold at least one FBS offer. See the full list below.
