Aledo wide receiver Ryan Newsome had delayed the announcement of his top three after winning a state title on Saturday, but did so on Tuesday evening via Twitter:

Long considered a Texas lean, the inclusion of the Longhorns was hardly a surprise. And neither was UCLA, particularly, since the Bruins had hosted Newsome on a good visit over the summer also took an official visit in the beginning of November.

If the 5'8, 170-pounder decides to head out of state, it's likely that he would opt to play for head coach Jim Mora.

So Tennessee would seem to be the third on this list -- even though there isn't any order specified here -- and the least likely candidate to land Newsome's services when he gives his eventual pledge.

All signs still point to Texas, though -- he can keep his mother happy by staying in the state, he has a longtime relationship with Texas running back coach Tommie Robinson, and he's friends with five-star linebacker pledge Malik Jefferson.

He also likes trolling Texas A&M:

Beyond the incredible return skills and the fact that he's an impressive kid, what better sign of a Longhorn is there than gaining some enjoyment from trolling?
