Jacob Young, a 2016 combo guard from Houston Yates, committed to the Texas Longhorns this evening. Young becomes the Longhorns' first commitment in the 2016 class, and the first start-to-finish recruit landed by Shaka Smart, Texas' new head coach. Smart previously received a commitment from former VCU signee Tevin Mack in the 2015 class.
Glad to announce that I will be attending the University of Texas to play for head coach Shaka Smart #HookEm u26aaufe0f u26aaufe0f u26aaufe0f u26aaufe0f !
