Top Running Back Selects Texas Longhorns


It's a great day to be a Texas Longhorns fan!  Looks like Mack Brown just picked up another top running back!

According to ESPN:

"Johnathan Gray, considered to be the best high school running back in Texas and perhaps the best prep running back in the country, committed to Texas, picking the Longhorns over Texas A&M and TCU.

The Aledo, Texas, native placed a call on Thursday night to Texas coach Mack Brown and delivered the news, according to a report in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Most individual prospect rankings haven't been finalized yet, but the running back can validate his non-binding commitment by signing his letter of intent next February.

Back in January, ESPN RISE named Gray, a 5-foot-10, 195-pounder, Mr. Football USA, the award for the national player of the year. He was the first junior to ever win the award.

In the state championship game last December, he ran for 323 yards and eight touchdowns, finishing with 3,183 for the season."
