OSU gets 2011 commitment from Texas defensive back Quentin Sargent

Bowie defensive back Quentin Sargent committed to the Cowboys on Wednesday according to multiple internet reports. The 5-11, 163-pounder will join 2010 signees Montra Nelson and Diamonte Wheeler as former Bowie standouts in the Pokes program.

Sargent, who picked OSU over Auburn, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, BYU, Houston and others, is a three-star prospect on Rivals.com and Scout.com.

"The biggest factors in my decision were the education and the distance," he told OStateIllustrated.com. "Education was one of the things they promised I would get and I really respected that. It's not too far for my family, they can drive up there anytime they want to."

Sargent is the 16{+t}{+h} known commitment in the Cowboys' class of 2011. He joins Lyndell Johnson, Miketavius Jones and Isaac Maselera as defensive back commitments for OSU.
