Tight end Jim Reuber of Plano (Texas) West gave an oral commitment to Kansas during the weekend, rivals.com reported.

Reuber made campus visits to Kansas and Kansas State this summer and received scholarship offers from both schools. He also received an offer from Arizona last week. The 6-foot-4, 225-pounder also was recruited by Oklahoma, but OU coaches told him they wanted to see him play this season before making an offer.

“I didn’t want to be recruited through my senior year,” he told rivals.com. “This is a year we can make it to the state playoffs for the first time, and I wanted to focus on my senior year.”

Reuber’s twin brother Tim (6-4, 210) is Plano West’s quarterback. The pair would like to attend the same college.

Their older brother Alan is a fifth-year senior and starting offensive lineman at Texas A&M.

Jim Reuber is KU’s third commitment, joining Silver Lake offensive lineman Scott Haverkamp (6-4, 280) and Olathe East offensive lineman Todd Haselhorst (6-4, 284).
