< Keller DL Janszen Picks Horns over Sooners; He's No. 12
<
< The Longhorns are up to an even dozen early commitments now after DT
Tully
<
< Janszen, 6-4, 245, 4.78, of Keller picked Texas over Oklahoma. He had
< considered only Texas, OU and A&M, and had offers from all three.
< Janszen said the Longhorn coaches told him they want him to play DT, and
< he
< said they told him they like his quickness and aggressiveness. He said he

< called head coach Mack Brown Thursday to tell him he wanted to play for
< the
< Longhorns. "He seemed real happy to hear from me," Janszen said.
< He said he picked Texas because "I liked the way I was treated by the
< coaches
< and players. They are like a big family." He also said his sister lives
at
<
< New Braunfels, which is about 35 miles south of Austin. "Her husband is a

< coach at Converse Judson," he said. "It will be good to have family that
< close."
< Janszen said he had 10 sacks and about 15 other tackles for losses last
< year.
< He has a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale and has a 22 ACT score. It takes an 18 to

< qualify, so he made it with plenty of room to spare.
< Coach Brown said at the start of the recruiting season that he hoped to
< sign
< a great class of defensive linemen and he is off to a great start with
< Janszen and three other outstanding DTs - Sonny Davis, 6-1, 320, 5.0, of
< Gulf
< Coast JC in Mississippi and formerly of Austin Lanier, Earl Anderson,
6-4,
<
< 270, 4.8, of San Marcos and Lyle Sendlein, 6-4, 260, 4.8, of Scottsdale
< Chaparral, the two-time defending Class 4A champion in Arizona.
< The other 8 commitments are LBs Brian Robison, 6-3, 245, 4.6, of
Splendora
<
< and Marcus Myers, 6-3, 220, 4.5, of Pflugerville Connally; OLs Brett
< Valdez, 6-4, 310, 5.1, of Brownwood and Neale Tweedie, 6-5, 260, 4.9, of

< Allen; TE-LB David Thomas, 6-3, 210, 4.6, of Wolfforth Frenship; WR
< Dustin
< Miksch, 6-0, 165, 4.4, of Round Rock Westwood; QB Billy Don Malone, 6-2
< 1/2,
< 185, 4.7, of Paris North Lamar; RB/Athlete Clint Haney, 5-11, 190, 4.27
< of

< RECRUITING NOTES: I talked to former Longhorn and Denver Broncho OL star
< David Studdard tonight and he said his son, Kasey, a highly recruited
< defensive tackle at Highlands Ranch, Colo., "really likes Texas and told
< me
< that's where he is 99% sure he wants to go." He said his son probably
will
<
< take a few visits, but said he will be surprised if he doesn't wind up at

< Texas. Studdard is on several national top 100 teams, and, other than
< being
< an outstanding defensive tackle who led the state's linemen in total
< tackles
< last year, he has another great attribute - he's one of the best blocking

< offensive linemen I've seen on tape this year. He really is an
outstanding
<
< blocker who excels at pulling and taking out defenders. It's great to be
a
<
< top prospect both ways because it gives a recruit an extra chance to make
< it
< big. His dad, who played for the Broncos for a decade after graduating
< from
< Texas in 1978, knows a thing or two about offensive line play, and he
< thinks
< it's 50-50 on whether his son will play offense or defense in college. .
< DE
< Brian Pickryl of Jenks, Okla., one of the nation's top pass-rushing
< linemen,
< says Texas is running slightly ahead of UCLA and Oklahoma on his list
< right
< now. Pickryl plans to graduate in December, so he can go through spring
< football practice with the college he picks. . . DT Marco Martin of
< Mesquote. who is up to 315 pounds and still running under 5.0 in the 40,
< says
< Texas is slightly ahead of Florida State, Oklahoma and others. Martin
runs
< in
< the 4.7 range when he is around 275 pounds.. . . So far this recruiting
< season, five members of Texas Football's Super Team have committed to
< colleges, and three of them - DT Anderson, TE Thomas, (who made the team
< as a
< linebacker) and OL Tweedie are future Longhorns. The other two who have
< made
< early commitments are OL Jeff Lebby of Andrews to Oklahoma and C Bob
< Morton
< of McKinney, who first committed to A&M, then switched to Notre Dame.

< SOFTBALL RECRUITING NOTE: UT's prize pitching recruit, 6-1 southpaw Cat
< Osterman led her Katy Cruisers to the championship of the elite 71-team
< national tournament in Marietta, Ga., last year, and she might do it
< again.
< She pitched a no-hitter and struck out 18 to lead the Cruisers past the
< California Miners earlier this week. The Cruisers are 3-0 in the
< tournament.
< Osterman, who was chosen the high school player of the year by two
< national
< high school rating groups, did not allow an earned run last season as a
< senior at Cypress Springs.
