Texas Offers Jelani McDonald, Oklahoma State’s Highest-Rated Commit

A tale as old as time, Texas is in late trying to swipe an Oklahoma State pledge.

Jelani McDonald, the Cowboys’ highest-rated 2023 commitment, announced an offer from Texas on Tuesday. Out of Waco Connally High School, McDonald is a four-star prospect, ranked as the No. 202 player in his cycle. He is listed as an athlete but committed to OSU as a defensive back this summer.

McDonald has had a roaring start to his senior year despite battling through an early season injury. Playing as Connally’s quarterback, McDonald has ran for six touchdowns and thrown five while rushing for 10.
