New Commit Dalton Santos???

[H-D Rider]

To the good guys per Smoaky.Com! Hookem.com says he had a very, very good visit! More to come & report on this...

Van senior linebacker Dalton Santos, 6-3, 248, 4.63, who has been committed to Tennessee since early August, switched his commitment to Texas on Sunday.

Santos took a weekend visit to Austin and pulled the trigger. Santos father, Albert told Smoaky.com, "He is extremely proud to be a Longhorn and vows to make his family and hometown of Van, Texas proud too."

Santos finished his senior year with 101-Tackles, 19-TFL, 3-Sacks, 1-Interception, 3-Caused Fumbles and 3-Fumble Recoveries including one for a touchdown.

Santos also scored 17-TD's rushing on offense.

By the way, this guy gets admission into the "Horns With Kick *** Names" Hall of Fame.

Yes! The holy one, Santos

As long as he is a diablo on the field, I'm thrilled Santos is a Horn.

 

[H-D Rider]

His Dad's quote of what Dalton told his dad says a lot about Santos... big pick-up and an even bigger flip!

"He is extremely proud to be a Longhorn and vows to make his family and hometown of Van, Texas proud too."

Already being reported on ESPN RN (Recruiting Nation) as well... I knew he was rated as a very solid 4* player, but didn't know he was listed as the #1 ILB in the country by ESPN Services... We shouldn't have had to 'take' him away from Tennessee, but to see that he doesn't even give Aggy a sniff?? I'm impressed even more...

Top LB commits Texas Longhorns

Give Mack and the rest of the coaches some coffee.

 

[caryhorn]

He is a huge talent.

So he decided to committ to us because we switched to the SEC and he wants to play in the best conference in the land. Oh, wait?!! It wasn't us who left the weak Big XII? Oh yeah, it was Aggy who switched to the SEC and Santos just decommitted from another SEC school. OK, my bad!

So much for conference membership swaying recruits.

Diaz is really putting together an SEC style defense. This is going to be fun to watch in the coming years.

Vol fans are none too happy. One guy on Volnation said, "I hate those rednecks in Texas". Irony at its finest.

 

[coolhorn]

Knoxville, you can tell fans of the fake orange that it's not the purpose in life of us "rednecks" down here in Texas to make them happy. Tell 'em that right after you tell 'em to suck thick black exhaust smoke.
