Daylon Mack recruit updates: Top 2015 defensive tackle

Daylon Mack is a sizable defensive tackle prospect, and he could be one of the top defensive players in the Class of 2015.

Mack, who hails from Gladewater (Texas) High School, stands 6’2 and weighs an impressive 310 pounds. As of February, he’s rated as a five-star prospect by 247 Sports and Scout, and a four-star by Rivals and ESPN. The 247 Sports composite ratings list him as the 14th-best high school player in the class, the fifth-best defensive tackle and the No. 2 player from the state of Texas.

Success on the recruiting trail continued for the Texas A&M Aggies on Monday with the commitment of 2015 defensive tackle Daylon Mack, who made the announcement on Twitter:

The 6’2, 310-pound Mack is a consensus five-star prospect ranked as the No. 7 player nationally in the 2015 class by the 247Sports Composite rankings, the No. 3 defensive tackle nationally, and the top player in the state of Texas. The Aggies have now landed the No. 2 prospect in the state in 2013, the No. 2 prospect in 2014 (in Friday commit Myles Garrett, a defensive end from Arlington (Texas) Martin) and 2015’s top prospect in Mack, a remarkable run of recruiting success

Twice now, Gladewater (Texas) defensive tackle Daylon Mack has almost left College Station as the first Texas A&M commit of the 2015 class.

Both times he opted to prolong his recruitment just a little bit longer.

Recruiting in the state of Texas is already well underway for the 2015 class with three prospects having already given their pledges.

In that spirit, it’s not particularly surprising that Gladewater (Texas) defensive tackle Daylon Mack, the top-ranked prospect in the state in the first edition of the Lone Star Recruiting Top 100, has already declared the Texas A&M Aggies as the leader in his recruitment, according to his 247Sports profile page.
