Otaro Alaka Makes Lucky #13 for Texas in '14

Otaro Alaka had a lot of suitors.

But it came down to two.

The 6-foot-3, 210 pound outside linebacker from Cypress Falls (Houston) chose the Texas Longhorns over in-state rival Texas A&M on Monday night. He makes No. 13 in the 2014 class for Mack and company.

JUST COMMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS! #Hookem

The 4-star prospect boasted over 30 offers including LSU, Michigan, Arkansas, Boise State and Oklahoma. In the end, it came down to Austin or College Station.

And Austin won out. Defensive coordinator Manny Diaz concurred.
