Big news broke on Tuesday evening for the Texas Longhorns as defensive line coach Oscar Giles tries to add an instant-impact defensive end to the 2019 recruiting class, as Butler CC’s Jacoby Jones announced his decommitment from the Oklahoma Sooners:
Instability on the defensive coaching staff in Norman potentially played a role in the decision, as Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley fired defensive coordinator Mike Stoops after the Cotton Bowl loss to Texas in October and it’s not clear if Ruffin McNeil will remain in that role.
The news from Jones comes at an auspicious time for the Longhorns, as the 6’4, 250-pounder is set to visit Austin this weekend, according to multiple reports.
