Mack, the No. 1 prospect in Texas and No. 10 in the nation for 2015, received an offer from LSU. Make no mistake, this one was a big deal to Mack.
Max Olson/ESPNESPN Junior 300 DT Daylon Mack said Texas A&M should "definitely be worried" about his LSU offer.
“This offer is definitely a game-changer in my recruiting process,” he said. “It’s the offer I’ve been the happiest to receive so far.”
The 6-foot-2, 307-pound tackle said LSU is now in his top six, along with Texas A&M, Texas, Florida State, Clemson and TCU. In fact, the Tigers are right near the top of that list now.
“They’re already at the top with A&M, and I haven’t even visited yet,” he said. “I can’t imagine what it’ll be like when I do. I can’t wait to get out there.”
What has Mack so excited about LSU, even though he’s never been on campus? First, LSU is a five-hour drive from Gladewater, making it not that much further from home than longtime leader Texas A&M or Texas.
But the Tigers’ tradition of producing NFL-caliber defensive tackles matters much more to Mack.
“They’re a defensive tackle factory,” he said. “Playing for Les Miles would be a dream come true. This is no doubt a blessing. I feel like the happiest man in the world.”
Mack said he’s going to talk with his parents about planning a trip to Baton Rouge, but it likely won’t come until an unofficial visit for a home game this fall.
When asked what this means for the rest of the teams on his list, Mack said Texas A&M should “definitely be worried about LSU.”
