Texas, OU in battle with triple threat from SEC for top RB recruit

To secure highly touted running back Devwah Whaley, the Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns are going to have to fend off a triple threat from the SEC.

The nation's No. 5-ranked running back announced his final five via his Twitter account Saturday. Included with Texas and Oklahoma are Texas A&M, Georgia and Arkansas.

The 6-foot, 205-pound Whaley is from Beaumont (Texas) Central where he rushed for more than 1,300 yards and 12 touchdowns last season as a junior.

Whaley is expected to announce his decision at the Under Armor All-American Game in January.
