"THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS DEFENSE.... UNCONSCIOUS!!!"
===========

First Jackson Jeffcoat, then Jordan Hicks commits to Texas

[SIZE=-1]01:26 PM CST on Friday, January 29, 2010

[/SIZE] [SIZE=-1]From staff reports[/SIZE] Apparently someone forgot to tell Texas that Christmas comes in December -- not a few days before National Signing Day.
After Plano West defensive end Jackson Jeffcoat announced Friday morning that he will play for the Longhorns, yet another prized recruit -- linebacker Jordan Hicks from Ohio -- also said he's headed for Texas.
The Jeffcoat-Hicks one-two punch could push Texas to the top of the 2010 recruiting rankings by next week.
Hicks, like Jeffcoat, is an elite athlete and one of the top-rated defensive players in this year's class. Hicks won the Dick Butkus award, which is presented to the nation’s top high school linebacker, and finished his senior season with 95 tackes (13 tackles for loss).
Hicks (click here for highlights) is rated No. 16 in Rivals.com's recruiting rankings. Jeffcoat (click here for highlights) is just a few slots above at No. 12.

Coach "Boom" is probably walking around with a huge grin, his job just got soooo easy! Talk about "Release the hounds!"

Well, all right... I'm particularly happy that Jim's son is Austin-bound...

Sigh...

Not that we had any sort of shot. But still....Sigh...

I am a bit disappointed with their recruitment of OL.....only 2....Though I am pleased with the two they got. I just wish they could have added a couple more, including at least 1 OG.

Also, they have not done a whole lot to fill the TE position. Now that Buckner is gone, there is a definite opening. Yet, there was not one TE commit this entire offseason.

Don't worry. Tech has a knack for finding guys that fit what they do, many of whom are overlooked. And they're always competitive.

The last 2 Texas recruiting classes have to at least get them to 1 National Title appearance.

These two young men are huge gets for UT, no question. Between Benson, Jackson and Hicks at LB, Jeffcoat and Wilson at DE and Bible and Dorsey at DT, this is going to be one heck of a strong front 7 for Muschamp right there.
