DE Jackson Jeffcoat

His sister committed to OU for basketball I believe. He's supposedly very close to his sister so he very well could be an OU lean.

being reported on the LSU board that his top 6 are

 

Houston

USC

UF

Texas

Oklahoma

Arizona State

The top prospect in the 2010 class Jackson Jeffcoat (Plano, Texas/West) will visit the University of Houston on December 19. The 6-foot-4, 233-pound defensive end has already taken three official visits. He visited Arizona State November 6, Texas November 20 and USC November 27. The five-star prospect also plans to officially visit Oklahoma and Florida in January.

 

Texas and USC are thought to be the top two. His father, Jim Jeffcoat, is the defensive line coach at the University of Houston.

Why oh Why is REX not recruiting him to play at NU. They were teammates at Plano. Rex pulls some strings with your old coaches.

I'm pretty sure there are two different schools in Plano...east and west. I don't think they played on the same team.

You are correct

[huskerdana]

There are three plano schools now( Plano High, Plano West, Plano East). I live in Dallas and and just found out there are three freaken school in plano. Plano High is where Rex went and Jeffcoat is from Plano West. Wow I learned something new. Sorry but atleast they played one another at one point.

The No. 1 ranked prospect in the ESPNU 150, Jackson Jeffcoat (Plano, Texas/West), will not be making his previously-schedule official visit to Florida this weekend, all but ending the Gators' chances of landing the five-star recruit. However, he is still scheduled to make his Jan. 22 visit to Oklahoma.

 

The 6-foot-4, 233-pounder has already made official visits to Arizona State (Nov. 6), Texas (Nov. 20) and USC (Nov. 27). Jeffcoat has also made an unofficial visit to Houston in December, where his father coaches the defensive line.

 

Texas and USC have been thought to be the favorites for several weeks, but the Trojans are now on the outside looking in due to the losses of head coach Pete Carroll and linebackers coach Ken Norton Jr. Both will fill their same roles in the NFL with the Seattle Seahawks. As important as Carroll was in the recruiting process, losing Norton Jr. was a crushing blow for the Trojans because he and Jeffcoat's dad, Jim, are good friends dating back to their playing days with the Dallas Cowboys from 1988-1993.

 

Now, the Longhorns are thought to be the leader over Houston for the nation's top prospect heading into the Oklahoma visit, where Jeffcoat's twin sister Jacqueline signed to play college basketball Nov. 11.

Rex was his biggest nightmare in those rivalry games. Especially when Rex played QB. It's a shame Jackson didn't play for Plano Senior High though.

Heading to OU this weekend with current A&M commit Corey Nelson. It still amazes me how big OU's class could be.....picked a good year to have this happen with Pete the Cheat leaving

Who said the upcoming weekend was going to be "a dead week" in terms of football excitement?

 

Standout defensive end Jackson Jeffcoat of Plano West (Texas) High School is planning to single-handedly boost some life back into Sunday night television ratings in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. He'll make a live announcement Sunday on his college commitment on KDFW-TV, the Fox affiliate.

 

Jeffcoat is the No. 2 recruit nationally on the ESPNU 150 list. He also is the highest-ranked player on the list who has not announced his commitment.

 

What makes this so intriguing are the cast of finalists still in the hunt for Jeffcoat, a 6-foot-5, 225-pound speed-rushing defensive end.

 

Texas and Oklahoma are believed to be the two favorites. Mack Brown spent most of a day at Jeffcoat's school before visiting with Jeffcoat's family that night last week. But he didn't come away with a commitment as Jeffcoat visited Oklahoma over the weekend on his final official visit. Jeffcoat was joined in a group that included top Texas A&M linebacker recruit Corey Nelson of Dallas Skyline.

 

Some have speculated that the Sooners may have an inside track to attracting Jeffcoat because his twin sister Jacqueline committed to Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale to play basketball for the Lady Sooners in the fall.

 

Others have said that Jackson might end up at Houston, where his father, former Dallas Cowboys defensive end Jim Jeffcoat, is a member of Kevin Sumlin's coaching staff.

 

The other finalist is Arizona State, where his father played college football. Jackson Jeffcoat has already dropped USC and Florida from his list of six schools which remained at the start of December.

 

It's one of those classic recruiting battles between Texas and Oklahoma. The fact that he could join his dad at Houston or go back to Arizona State only makes it more intriguing.

 

Which way will he go?

 

We'll find out next Sunday night.
