< Tyler DB Melton is 16th Cimmitment; DE Thornton Will Start Saturday
<
< Tyler DB Matt Melton, 5-11, 190, 4.43, told me tonight he committed to
< Texas
< earlier in the day "because I knew I wanted to stay in state and, after
< visiting A&M and Texas (unofficially), I just like Texas better."
< Melton, who has 40 tackles and two interceptions so far this year, said
he
<
< had offers "from about 15 or 16 schools, including Texas, A&M, Purdue,
< TCU,
< Baylor and West Virginia."
< Melton is the 16th recruit to commit to Texas. He is a member of my
< Fabulous
< 50.
< The other recruits who have committed to Texas include nine recruits who
< are
< listed on one or more national top 100 teams. They are WR Marquis
< Johnson,
< 6-3, 200, 4.48, of Centennial High School in Champaign, Illinois; DE
< Chase
< Pittman, 6-5, 263, 4.7, of Shreveport Evangel; LB Garnett Smith, 6-3,
221,
<
< 4.54, of Arlington Lamar, DTs Sonny Davis, 6-1, 320, 5.0, of Gulf Coast
JC

< San Marcos, Lyle Sendlein, 6-4, 260, 4.8, of Scottsdale Chaparral, the
< two-time defending Class 4A champion in Arizona; OLs Brett Valdez, 6-4,

< 310, 5.1, of Brownwood and Neale Tweedie, 6-5, 260, 4.9, of Allen; and

the
<
< top national lists last year.

< Keller;

< DE Kalen Thornton, who missed the OSU game with a knee sprain, is
< practicing
< again this week and defensive coordinator Carl Reese said he will start
< Saturday, with Maurice Gordon moving back to DT. Reese also said
sophomore
<
< Adam Doiron, who started at tackle against OSU in Gordon's place, played
< well
< against the Cowboys and will see a lot of action against Colorado.
< He also said redshirt freshman Stevie Lee "has had his best two days of
< practice" this week and also will play at DT. Lee is under 300 pounds
now.
< He
< reported at about 310 because he was recovering from a broken bone in his

< foot that required surgery and wasn't able to run and work out as much as

< usual.
< DE O. J. McClintock, who has been out all year after suffering severe
cuts
< to
< his right arm and hand in a household accident before the season, also is

< expected to play Saturday.
< Reese said the Longhorn will need lot of defensive linemen to step up
< Saturday because Colorado "just lines up and tries to run over you play
< after
< play."

< The Longhorns' game at Missouri next Saturday will have a 2:30 p.m.
< kickoff
< and UT officials say it will be available in Texas on pay-per-view TV,
but
<
< they said they are still working out the details. It was passed over for
< regular TV programming, so pay-per-view is the only way fans who can't
< attend
< will be able to see it.

< RECRUITING NOTES: DE Bryan Pickryl, 6-5, 230, 4.5, of Oklahoma powerhouse

< Jenks, plans to come to the Texas-Colorado game this weekend. He said
< Texas,
< Missouri and Oklahoma are his top three teams, but he also said he is
< considering several other schools fairly seriously. His maternal
< grandmother
< lives in Austin and he also has two uncles in the Austin area., so he has

< spent some time in this area. . . DT Earl Anderson of San Marcos says he
< is
< solidly committed to Texas and says he is being misquoted by people who
< say
< he plans to take visits to other schools. . . WR Robert Timmons of Flower

< Mound Marcus was held out of last week's game after missing school and
< reporting he was sick. FM coach Randy Mayes said he isn't sure if Timmons

< will play this week. "It depends on whether he misses any more school or
< practices," he said. Timmons is a great football prospect, and is by far
< the
< best WR in Texas, but he has had some disciplinary problems and it seems
< they
< are continuing. But, as Mayes said, maybe he really was sick.
