The CSU football team picked up two commitments from Texas on Monday.

Cornerback Brandon Crossley and wide receiver Jaylen Hearst both verbally committed to join the Rams.

Crossley is the third cornerback in the 2019 recruiting class for Colorado State University. Hearst is the first receiver.

Hearst is listed at 6-foot, 180 pounds, and he attends Fossil Ridge High School in Fort Worth. He is listed as a three-star recruit by 247Sports and has 14 other offers, including Georgia, Nebraska, Kansas, Illinois, BYU, Arizona State and Texas Tech. He visited CSU on an official visit last weekend. He's now the top-rated recruit in CSU's class, according to 247Sports. He announced his commitment on Twitter on Monday afternoon.

Crossley is from Little Elm, Texas, and chose CSU over a big lineup of college offers. He's rated as a three-star recruit by 247Sports' composite ranking and a four-star by 247Sports' own ranking.

He has 12 reported offers, including Texas Tech, TCU, New Mexico and SMU. He verbally committed to SMU in August before decommitting earlier in December.

Crossley is listed as 5-foot-11 and 175 pounds. He announced his decision on Twitter on Monday afternoon. He also said he'll sign on Wednesday at the beginning of the early signing period.

The Frisco Enterprise named Crossley the 5A All-District Two-Way Player of the Year.

NCAA rules prohibit CSU coach Mike Bobo and other school officials from discussing specific recruits until they have signed financial-aid agreements or national letters of intent.
