5-star linebacker Jefferson, 4-star wide receiver McNeal commit to Texas
Brett Davis-US PRESSWIRE
The Longhorns have hooked another two.
Five-star linebacker Malik Jefferson and four-star wide receiver DeAndre McNeal committed to Texas on Friday.
One big question about Charlie Strong was his ability to land the in-state impact guys. Cannot underestimate Jefferson's impact.

Jefferson, 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, and McNeal, 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, are both from Mesquite, Texas, and attend Poteet High School.
Jefferson has "great physical upside" along with "excellent range and closing speed," according to ESPN's subscription-only scouting report.
McNeal's got "very quick feet" and impressive "top-end speed once he gets on a straight line," according to ESPN.
