Santiago said he was excited about his decision.
"They have great athletic facilities and a great history of winning," Santiago said. "They will win a lot more games next year, and I want to help them turn it around. They have awesome facilities.
"Almost everything is brand new."
North Texas also played host this weekend to Miami (Okla.) Northeastern Oklahoma three-star offensive lineman Lee Tibbs. The 6-foot-5, 310-pound Tibbs said he remained an Iowa State commitment after the visit.
