Jordan Whittington, Class of 2019's top-ranked athlete, picks Texas

The nations No. 1 ranked athlete in the Class of 2019 is off the board.

Jordan Whittington announced his commitment to Texas over Texas A&M, UCLA and Florida on Saturday.

Whittington, the No. 10 ranked prospect overall in the Class of 2019, is a huge signing for coach Tom Herman and the Longhorns over Jimbo Fisher and arch-rival Texas A&M with the Aggies having received a shot of momentum on the trail since Fisher's hire.

The immensely talented Lone Star State prospect, who could play receiver or safety at the next level, made a number of unofficial visits leading up to his pledge, including a most recent trip to Austin following a late February trip to Westwood.
