Aggies get a visit from LB target
Tampa (Fla.) Carrollwood Day linebacker Solomon Williams made the trip to College Station this weekend to check out A&M. Williams is one of a number of linebacker targets still undetermined on where they'll play at the next level, but Williams fits the mold of an outside linebacker who can also be a stand-up rush end.
Williams may be a 3-star, but his offer list is imposing: Alabama, LSU, Miami, Notre Dame, Clemson, Ohio State and Penn State are just a handful of the more than two dozen offers he has on the table.
A&M makes the cut for some out of state recruits
The Aggies offered Providence (R.I.) La Salle Academy ATH Justin Denson Jr. fairly recently, but they did enough to make his top dozen schools. I can't recall the last time A&M landed a player from Rhode Island, if ever, so this is a fairly unique recruitment. Judging from his list of schools still in contention, he doesn't seem to have much interest in remaining in the Northeast (or close to it).
Waller released his top 10 list Saturday, and A&M made that list as well. His skill set is pretty similar to Williams, and they have similar stellar offer lists. Waller has already set up an official visit to A&M, set for the weekend of June 30.
Three WR transfer targets head elsewhere
The Aggies had been in the mix for former USC receiver Gary Bryant, former Alabama wideout Tyler Harrell and JUCO receiver Shemar Kirk. All three decided on other locales over the weekend. Bryant, as expected, chose Oregon. Harrell and Kirk will see the Aggies pretty soon, as they both committed to Miami.
Baseball splits first two games, gets rained on
A&M third baseman Trevor Werner had a Friday to remember, as he homered three times in the Aggies' 11-5 win over Alabama. He was the first A&M player to have a hat trick since Dell Lindsey in 1999. Freshman Jace LaViolette also homered twice in the win.
Saturday was not as fun, as Alabama blitzed the Aggies 12-1. After seven hours of delays Sunday, the two teams started their rubber match at 7 p.m., and Alabama leads 5-0 in the fifth.
