On Friday shortly after noon, following the 8 a.m. commitment of ESPN 300 No. 35 Malik Jefferson to Texas over Texas A&M, No. 15 and five-star defensive tackle Daylon Mack sent another shock wave in the Lone Star state decommitting from Texas A&M in what would turn out to be a Friday to forget for Aggie fans.
I have decomitted from Texas A&M and I will be releasing my top two schools around noon Saturday!

Mack is scheduled to visit LSU Jan. 16 and already made an official visit to TCU in October. Jan. 16 will be the Tigers second on-campus shot at Mack following a Nov. 8 unofficial visit for the Tigers game against Alabama.
A third school in the mix is Texas. Mack reports that he plans to officially visit the Longhorns Jan. 23, with a final decision expected on National Signing Day.
Also of note in regards to Mack’s announcement today is that he reports that Texas A&M is out of the running. The Aggies are expected to make another run at the athletic defensive tackle prospect after a new defensive coordinator is hired.
Mack will play in the 2015 Under Armour All-America Game at 4 p.m. ET on Jan. 2 on ESPN2.
