Fab 55 updated — Delance highest among Texas commits
Posted January 15th, 2016
North Mesquite offensive tackle Jean Delance is ranked highest among Texas’ commitments in the American-Statesman’s latest Fabulous 55 of the state’s top senior players.
Delance, the headliner so far in Texas’ 13-player class, checks in at No. 13. Three other Longhorns commits cracked the list — Arlington Lamar quarterback Shane Buechele (15), Manvel receiver Reggie Hemphill-Mapps (43) and Lewisville guard Denzel Okafor (48).
Allen offensive tackle Gregory Little is No. 1, just as he was in the initial rankings released last spring. Little, who was committed to Texas A&M at that time, is now ticketed for Ole Miss.
Baylor has the most Fab 55 commitments with eight followed by Texas A&M’s six.
