DT (!!!) makes 15

by hornbone on Feb 26, 2007 9:33 PM CST

So the Horns have their 15th commmit for 2008, a DT I know nothing about. But I have been wondering this for a while now: why is it so hard to get good defensive linemen? Is it the state of Texas? Is that our high school football Achilles' heel? Where's our next Casey Hampton?

Or is it everywhere? Are defensive linemen just a rare breed?

Also, if anyone out there (you know who I'm talking to, PHF) knows anything about this guy, I'd like to know what you think of our newest potential Horn.

And Kheeston's a pretty sweet name - right up there with Foswhitt.

I'm as shocked as you are, bone

I haven't heard a word about this guy. All of the DT focus has been on Jarvis Humprey. Just goes to show how much of an "expert" in recruiting I am. Or, for that matter, the recruiting sites themselves!

He's got the right frame for the position, so I can see him easily adding another 50 pounds in the next two years. If we can get Humphrey (who is only 6'2" btw), then we should be done at the position. Humphrey has always been a Texas lean, but now shows OSU as his co-leader after a Junior Day visit there.

Officially a Limey Longhorn

Hornbone

This guy came out of NOWHERE. The word is that the staff saw this guy when Ben Wells was playing against him in a b-ball game. They liked the size and his agility and decided to take a look at his football film. Apparently they liked what they saw.

As for D-linemen, don't worry. There's a guy that will be deciding in a week or two that could really turn into a Hampton like player. Jarvis Humphrey out of Cedar Hill. He's head and shoulders above all other D tackles in the entire class. Maybe even on a national level. I'll be anxious to hear word of his commitment.
