O. Box 26530, Austin, Texas 78755 - Phone 512-795-8536 Nordgren, State's Top QB, Picks Texas over LSU Dallas Bishop Lynch QB Matt Nordgren, 6-5, 222, 4.6, is the Longhorns' 18th commitment, and he said he came aboard this week to show his support for the UT coaches and to express his confidence in their ability. Nordgren, the state's top quarterback prospect and one of the top 10 passers in the country, chose Texas over LSU, Tennessee and Colorado. He also was recruited by most of the top programs, but had narrowed his choices to those four schools. He told me had had 21 scholarship offers. "It was really a close call between Texas and LSU," he said, "but I decided I wanted to play for the Longhorns." He called me late Wednesday night to give me the news, but asked me to hold it until around noon today. He and Bishop Lynch coach Gary Oliver are going to announce Nordgren's decision to sign with Texas at a pep rally at Bishop Lynch at 7 p.m. today. Bishop Lynch is 6-0 and plays defending state TAPPs champion Houston Stake Jesuit, also 6-0, this Friday. "I just wnated to get it out of the way before our game and I wanted to let the Texas coaches know," he said. Oliver, who is a former wide receiver at Texas A&M, said Nordgren checked out a lot of schools before making his decision. "He is an outstanding quarterback and an outstanding young man," Oliver said. Nordgren is a 4.0 student who also is a 6-6 high-jumper and 39.5 intermediate hurdler in track. He also starts for the basketball team. "It came down to a great list of schools," Nordgren said, "but I felt at home at the UT campus. It's a football program that I know I can help lead to a national championship." * * * * Redshirt freshman Dakarai Pearson will start at safety Saturday, and Lee Jackson will back up Pearson and fellow safety Greg Brown. Defensive coordinator Carl Reese said freshman cornerback Nathan Vasher will be his nickel back Saturday. DT Shaun Rogers practiced Wednesday and coach Mack Brown and Reese said they hope his sore ankle will allow him to play 15 to 20 plays Saturday. Redshirt freshman Marcus Tubbs will continue to start at right DT. Brown also said sophomore LB O. J. McClintock under arthroscopic surger on his right knee Tuesday and "he'll be out two to four weeks. It went well, and they think he'll have a quick rehab." Brown also said true freshman Adam Doiron, who has not played this year, probably will play at DT at Colorado. Doiron, a high school DE, has been working at DT, recently, and Brown said he is making good progress. "With Shaun Rogers and Stevie Lee both out, we're a little thin at defensive tackle," Brown said. "We'll probably take the redshirt year away and play Doiron Saturday. He also said another true freshman who hasn't seen action, LB Austin Sendlein, might have to play Saturday if any more linebackers are injured. Brown said the team realizes it has a lot of work to do to get ready for Colorado. * * * * My next fax will be whenever events warrant. * * * * The True Orange Fax Service includes at least 99 faxes a year and costs $99 ($79 by E-Mail).
