Reads like there are two major factors to his decision:
1. Trust

2. "Texas had that family feel "

It's cool that his family is moving to Austin with him. Should make he feel more comfortable.

Very-well spoken young man. Love the way he handled himself with the guy who asked "how it felt to turn his back on Ohio St."

Nice read!!!

“It was great. He was real excited. I told him how I felt and how I was real excited. He actually screamed. It felt good to get it out and let the coach know I was coming there.”

Mack screamed, " BOOOOM MF'er"

Thanks!! What a great young man. I'm looking forward to seeing him and all the other great recruits.

*****Hicks said Longhorn defensive coordinator and head coach-in-waiting Will Muschamp staying at Texas despite being courted elsewhere "showed a lot of loyalty to Texas. That’s key."

Urban Meyer's uncertain situation at Florida also figured into the equation.

“It affected it a lot. It showed how much more stable Texas was than Florida. That was a big factor and had a big affect on my decision.”*****

Clendon, do you get the feel that both Jeffcoat & Hicks talked to each other in the last few weeks?

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing Clendon! It is great we got both of them today. I think the kicker is visiting the campus today and I hope we can get him too.

Great read, thanks Clendon. Mack and crew are really raking up especially this season.

Great read Clendon.

I watched the video and could not help but come away impressed; for an 18 year old, the kid has his stuff together.

I haven't seen much video of him playing at all, but he has a bright future whether it's on the field or off.

Hell, I'd a screamed too after knowing I was getting two 5 stars in one day. I'd probably pissed myself too... but that's just me.

Best defensive recruiting class ever for the Horns. Fear us.
