Grayson McKeogh includes Longhorns in his top three
On Friday afternoon the Texas Longhorns continued to receive good news on the recruiting front. La Salle High School star Grayson McKeogh narrowed his list down to three schools and included Texas. The other schools to make the cut were Penn State and Notre Dame.
Earlier this week, the Longhorns offered the potential future star. He is ranked as the 22nd-best offensive lineman and sixth-best prospect from Pennsylvania in his class. Mckeogh is set to visit Austin for an official visit from June 20-22. Before Friday, no date had been set for a visit to Texas.
In June, Mckeogh will be busy touring the country. He is set to make a trip to Happy Valley from the sixth to the eigtht. A week later, he will be in Notre Dame to see what the Fighting Irish have to offer. Before choosing his final three, Mckeogh got offers from Boston College, Duke, Indiana, and Liberty.
Over the last few years, Texas has been a consistent participant in the college football playoffs. That has stood out to Mckeogh, who has watched their success from afar and been impressed by what he has seen. Now, he will get to see what the program has to offer up close.
'It's been pretty cool to watch from afar, even all the way up here in Pennsylvania, " McKeogh told InsideTexas.com. "Texas is a team you have no choice, but to take notice of."
Although the Longhorns were late to join the mix, they have made their interest clear. Longhorns Offensive line coach Kyle Flood reportedly made his way up to Pennsylvania to visit him in person. That meeting has proven beneficial, as the Longhorns have a chance to land McKeogh.
Over the next few weeks, McKeogh will be a player to watch as he visits his finalists before deciding where he will start his college career.

Mwenentanda eager for opportunity with Vanderbilt
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Ndjakalenga Mwenentanda is a former Washington high school standout, who just made a run to the Final Four with Texas. Now, she's on the move to another SEC School. Ndjakalenga played three season with the Texas Longhorns, appearing in 37 games this past year as a junior. She started in 15 games, including the Final Four contest against South Carolina. 'I love Texas and I got what I needed out of Texas. I got my degree,' Mwenentanda said. 'I just wanted something different.' Mwenentanda entered the transfer portal following her junior season. 35 teams reached out to her, but she had to picky, knowing she has just one year of eligibility left. 'Being a part of some rebuilding process wouldn't have allowed me enough time. I had to look at the options that were the best fit for me, as far as teams that were a little bit more established,' Mwenentanda said. Another factor in Ndjakalenga's decision was the ability to help fill her goals, which include playing basketball beyond college. 'The goal is to play pro basketball and that's why I entered to portal, to see where I can best take that stepping stone to achieve my goal of playing basketball,' Mwenentanda said. Her decision brought her to the Music City of Nashville, becoming the newest player for Vanderbilt. 'There are a lot of girls on the team that want to go pro. I know, being in a final four atmosphere, you've got to have everybody that really wants it,' Mwenentanda said. 'Those who are willing to sacrifice and put time towards the same goal.' While Ndjakalenga is taking her talents to Vandy, her heart will always be in South Dakota, a state providing plenty of support for the Sioux Falls native. 'I grew up in Sioux Falls and I've still got friends I keep in touch with. I keep in touch with Parish over at Washington as well,' Mwenentanda said. 'I think Sioux Falls definitely has a permanent place in my heart, because of what it has provided me.' Mwenentanda will make some trips back and forth to Nashville throughout the summer as she gets ready for the basketball season later this year. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
