He's going to TX, sad but true.

Too bad he's not coming here...he could be MBB Chris Perry's twin.

You kidding me?  Austin is a great city, and their stadium is the loudest I've even been to.  If he's not going to UT over UCF/USF, it's because he wants to stay near family (or they want him close) OR he doesn't see getting time at UT.  But, UT seems to only have 1 DT in the class (tho' you never know what they have on the hook), and Strong apparently reached out to him early.

 

This is an interesting turn of events.  UCF has ~15 recruits, so they have room for more, and if I recall, the twin brother OL were seniors.  Interesting, indeed.
