Recruiting Analyst

Rank: No. 43 overall, No. 6 DT

Recruiting Wrap: Mack was an early commitment to Texas A&M and he was one of the Aggies' more vocal and influential recruits. In December he decided to re-open his recruiting process and listed TCU and LSU as his leaders with a visit planned to Texas. After Texas A&M hired former LSU defensive coordinator John Chavis as its defensive coordinator, the Aggies are back in it and LSU is now out. TCU is currently his leader and he plans to take an unofficial visit to Fort Worth on January 30. He also an official visit scheduled to Texas on Jan. 16 and one to Texas A&M on Jan. 23.

Recruiting Wrap: Lodge was a summer-time commitment to Texas A&M, but re-opened his recruiting process during the 2014 season. He has since taken official visits to LSU and USC and he also took an unofficial visit to Ole Miss during the season. At the Under Armour All-American game, he talked about a top five of Ole Miss, LSU, Baylor, Texas A&M, and Texas. He has scheduled two visits for January. He will visit Texas A&M on Jan. 16 and Ole Miss on Jan. 23. He does have one spot for another and he has mentioned Baylor and Texas as other visit possibilities.
