When asked about the possibility of Jackson Jeffcoat playing basketball as well as football for Texas, basketball coach Rick Barnes smiled. "I'm excited for all of us. Jackson comes from a wonderful family, very impressive," Banres said. "We've seen him play and the fact is, we're glad he's here." Mack Brown has coached dual athletes before, but usually the second sport is track and field. While at North Carolina, Brown dealt with a similar situation...

Texas coach Mack Brown said Wednesday that the Longhorns would have signed Graham quarterback Case McCoy even if he wasn't the younger brother of former standout quarterback Colt McCoy. Brown said Case, who is already enrolled at Texas, reminds him very much of Colt. "He's very, very similar. There can't help to be comparisons while he's here," Brown said. "He's very accurate. He has the ability to run and can throw from the pocket. He's...
Texas coach Mack Brown on Wednesday credited strength and conditioning coach Jeff "Mad Dog" Madden for the Longhorns' ability to sign Jordan Hicks, the nation's top high school linebacker recruit from West Chester, Ohio. Brown said that Hicks' mother, Kelly Justice, worked for Madden at Colorado in the weight room. Brown said that Hicks came to a Texas camp about two years ago and "we fell in love with him. He can do it all."...
CEDAR HILL - Cedar Hill linebacker Aaron Benson and running back Ben Malena became examples last year of why it's becoming more and more important for high school football players to showcase their talent during standout junior seasons. Injuries during their senior seasons caused Malena to miss eight games and Benson to be out half the year. But each turned in standout junior campaigns, and before they were hurt, Benson had committed to Texas and...
DeSOTO - DeSoto offensive lineman Michael Francis was one of 13 Eagles to sign national letters of intent Wednesday. Francis chose Georgetown. It was a decision that DeSoto offensive line coach Kelly Spiller said he saw coming months ago. "I knew Georgetown was the right place for him with his academics when he backed out on breakfast one morning with our offensive linemen so he could write a poem," Spiller said. Francis had to write...

"What we talked about the other night -...

Johnson said he played football and basketball with many of Cedar Hill's football signees in middle school before he transferred...
A few late-day changes caused two Texas schools to move one spot in Rivals' latest recruiting rankings. USC's signing day push, which helped the team land a couple highly touted recruits, boosted the Trojans to No. 2 in the rankings and bumped Texas down to No. 3. "We hope every signee in this class will have the chance to play next year," Texas coach Mack Brown said at Wednesday's press conference. "Of our 13 classes... |
