Less than a month ago, Texas had a lot of room to make up with five-star defensive tackle Daylon Mack (Gladewater).

Actually, the recently decommited Aggie recruit eliminated had eliminated the Longhorns from his list of leaders. But oh how things have changed. Mack took a surprise official visit to Austin last weekend, and now Texas appears to be surging in the in-state race between Texas A&M, Texas and TCU.

Mack received an in-home visit from Texas head coach Charlie Strong on Tuesday evening, and reports have said it went as well as possible.

Anytime a coach spends four hours in a player's home it's a big deal, and visits don't get much better than home runs.

Visits from Texas A&M and LSU could still change things for Mack. But for now, things look good for Texas a week away from National Signing day, when Mack will announce his college choice at 11:30 a.m. on ESPNU.

Mack is the No. 14-ranked player nationally and the No. 2 player in Texas according to the 247Sports Composite.
