From DHunt: UTEP[/B] football "verbal" commit Harrison flip flops after visiting UNT[/B] ... "UTEP[/B] is great, but UNT[/B] is closer to home."
DeMikal Harrison[/B], a defensive lineman out of Oklahoma, visited UNT this weekend and committed earlier today.
He made the news official tonight with a post on his Twitter account.
Midwest City (Oklahoma) defensive tackle DeMikal Harrison, who was committed to UTEP, has committed to UNT Sunday afternoon before announcing his decision Sunday night.
Harrison was committed to UTEP for a short time, but backed out of that pledge and committed to UNT. The proximity of the school to his home in Midwest City was a key reason why The 6-4, 290-pound standout decided to play for the Mean Green.
Harrison is rated as a two-star prospect by 247 Sports, but plays a premium position where top prospects are hard to find and even harder to sign. Tulsa jumped in with an offer for Harrison shortly after he backed out of his commitment to UTEP.
UNT won out in the end not only because of the proximity of Denton to his hometown, but also because of the work defensive line coach Kevin Patrick put in recruiting him. UNT didn't jump into the race to sign him until the last few weeks.
