Mallory, a 6-3, 270-pound prospect from Guyer High in Denton, Texas, had offers from Fresno State and apparently Tulsa among others. He is in the Rivals database but with virtually no information and no stars, fitting the profile of the the recruits Willie Fritz and company are bringing in. He plays center for Guyer but likely will be a guard in college and should be a good fit for what the coaches want to do with the running game.
Particularly with offensive linemen, recruiting service ratings won't mean much because option-based systems want mobile blockers who do not necessarily project as NFL prospects.
Mallory's team went 10-4 last year, reaching the Division II regional final in Class 6A, scoring a lot of points while rolling up more than 500 yards per game on the ground in its first three playoff victories before losing 44-7 to Mansfield. Getting that far in the playoffs was unexpected.
Here's a story from the playoff loss, although it does not mention Mallory.
