2015 Texas DT Daylon Mack gets Miami offer

Jul 8, 2013

Today, the Miami Hurricanes dipped into east Texas to offer 2015 standout defensive tackle Daylon Mack of Gladewater, Texas.

The six-foot-two 310-pounder released his top five today moments just before the 'Canes offered him. Along with Miami, Mack's list included Texas A&M, Texas, Clemson and Texas Tech.

Mack then tweeted: "Miami just offered and I am a happy camper. #Thankful #Blessed" (@DaylonMack)

"I got a call from my high school coach saying call coach Hurlie Brown and he extended the offer to me," Mack told me.

Mack, who is known for his strength and dominance on the field said, "It means a good deal to me. I already had Miami in my top five because of the relationship I had with coach Hurlie Brown. Now that they offered I am definitely considering them."

Miami obviously has a great deal of history with defensive tackles such as Cortez Kennedy, Warren Sapp and Vince Wilfork, to name a few, and Mack says that is one of the biggest things he likes about Miami.

"I love the tradition they had and all the DT's they had come out back in the day," said Mack.

Although, Daylon has yet to visit Coral Gables.

"I plan on visiting though. If not in the summer, I plan to visit sometime for their games," said Mack.

*Daylon has no highlights that I could find atleast, but enjoy this video of him squatting 605 pounds TEN TIMES. http://youtu.be/PD6iLfs-inw

Hurlie is proving himself to be a valuable member of our staff.... the guy is a great recruiter and pretty good coach this kid might not end up at Miami but I like the fact that we are showing the kid love early and that might help us out in the future

Mack had a breakout sophomore season in 2012, when he recorded 64 tackles, 16 for loss, six sacks, and six fumble recoveries to earn Defensive Newcomer of the Year honors on the ETSN.fm East Texas Football Super Team. Mack is the consensus No. 1 recruit in East Texas’ 2015 class, which early on appears to be one of the region’s strongest in recent memory.

He won overall Defensive MVP honors and the top defensive lineman award at the ETSN.fm Football Recruiting Combine at APEC training facility in Tyler on May 19 with an eye-opening performance in testing and lineman one-on-ones. He ran the fastest 40-yard dash of any of the event’s 21 players 230 pounds or heavier with a 4.84-second laser-timed run. He also had the second-most bench reps at 225 pounds with 21 and recorded vertical and broad jumps of 30 inches and nine feet even, respectively.

Mack plans to visit Texas on July 27. He’s recently stated on Twitter that Miami’s tradition — especially on the defensive side of the ball — make the Hurricanes an interesting recruiting option. Texas A&M has long been considered the team to beat in Mack’s recruitment, although he has recently chosen to slow down the commitment process so he can make as well-researched a decision as possible.

He’s the second East Texan in the 2014 or 2015 class with a Miami offer, joining Lufkin senior defensive tackle D.J. Williams (6-4, 293).

Wel...

Mack, the No. 1 prospect in Texas and No. 10 in the nation for 2015, received an offer from LSU. Make no mistake, this one was a big deal to Mack.
Max Olson/ESPNESPN Junior 300 DT Daylon Mack said Texas A&M should "definitely be worried" about his LSU offer.
“This offer is definitely a game-changer in my recruiting process,” he said. “It’s the offer I’ve been the happiest to receive so far.”
The 6-foot-2, 307-pound tackle said LSU is now in his top six, along with Texas A&M, Texas, Florida State, Clemson and TCU. In fact, the Tigers are right near the top of that list now.
“They’re already at the top with A&M, and I haven’t even visited yet,” he said. “I can’t imagine what it’ll be like when I do. I can’t wait to get out there.”
What has Mack so excited about LSU, even though he’s never been on campus? First, LSU is a five-hour drive from Gladewater, making it not that much further from home than longtime leader Texas A&M or Texas.
But the Tigers’ tradition of producing NFL-caliber defensive tackles matters much more to Mack.
“They’re a defensive tackle factory,” he said. “Playing for Les Miles would be a dream come true. This is no doubt a blessing. I feel like the happiest man in the world.”
Mack said he’s going to talk with his parents about planning a trip to Baton Rouge, but it likely won’t come until an unofficial visit for a home game this fall.
When asked what this means for the rest of the teams on his list, Mack said Texas A&M should “definitely be worried about LSU.”

That's a little more respectable to be honest. But IIRC his parents were the ones that wanted him to look at all of his options OOS. Either way it doesn't really matter to me anymore.

I won't believe we can pull a high-profile OOS DT until we actually do it.

It seems like every year we're in it early for them only for them to spurn us.

Of course it is.

I bet you his parents would not like the fans of LSU or Clemson if they got to know them.
