Dorial Green-Beckham won't make his decision on where to play college football until Wednesday, but at least one of the teams that was interested in his signature appears to be out of the running just before National Signing Day. According to Geoff Ketchum of Orange Bloods, the Texas Rivals site, Green-Beckham will not enroll at UT and play for the Texas Longhorns.
Green-Beckham, a 6-foot-6 wide receiver was named the 2012 U.S. Army Player of the Year and is widely considered to be the top college football recruit in the nation. Green hails from Missouri and is said to be considering both the Missouri Tigers and Arkansas Razorbacks, with some believing that the home-state Tigers have an edge. Missouri is arguably making a large step-up in competition as they join the SEC and will need all of the top talent they can get.
