Keller High School’s spring game took place tonight and Longhorn Nation received the good news it was expecting:  a resonating pair  of verbal commitments from a defensive end and offensive lineman.  The Teuhema brothers couldn’t be more different in terms of size, speed and skillset.  Heck, they will graduate high school in different classes.  One thing seems to be apparent though - Mack made a wise decision when he doled out a pair of offers to the Samoan brothers a few months ago.  He even beat LSU’s Les Miles to the punch (Miles offered both in April).

Sione Teuhema,  the 6’4, 215 lb. class of 2014 weakside defensive end  is a 3-star prospect that has great speed off the edge but needs to add weight to tall frame.  What he doesn’t have currently in .lbs, he makes up for with tenacity and great speed.  Sione is a top 75 player in the state and held offers from Baylor, OU, Oklahoma State, TCU as well as a handful of Pac-12 schools (Oregon State, Utah and Washington State).  Texas fans can thank Sione for pulling his brother, Maea into the Longhorn fold, but there is a reason he was offered and it wasn’t only to land his older brother.  Sione can flat-out play.  He becomes commit #14 in the 2014 class and the second defensive end recruit, joining Abilene’s Jake McMillon.

Maea Teuhema will graduate from Keller High School in 2015, a year after his older brother.  The 6’5. 350 lb. offensive tackle is a projected 5-star prospect that will “cash and carry,” no matter how you slice it.  He is big, fast and can react.  I won’t bother listing his college preferences (see brother Sione’s) but simply put, Texas landed a stud in Maea.  The 2015 recruiting rankings are still young – and fairly uncertain at this time, but the younger Teuhema is potentially the #1 player in Texas and a top 10 national prospect in the 2015 class.  He is THAT good.

The brothers Teuhema selected the Longhorns over Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, LSU and TCU.  It was always apparent that Sione and Maea intended to play college football together and they will have that chance in Austin.
