Throughout all the speculation regarding star Purdue pass rusher Nic Scourton’s connection to Texas A&M, the Bryan, Texas native will officially make his way to College Station on Wednesday, Jan. 3, which he recently confirmed on X.
After reportedly canceling his visit to Louisville, Scourton will take consecutive visits to Texas A&M (Jan. 3), Florida State (Jan. 4), Missouri (Jan. 5), and Oklahoma on Jan. 6.
In need of a defensive boost, after several departures through the portal have hindered the Aggies’ depth, Scourton is a plug-and-play option with plenty of experience to fit in any scheme, as new head coach Mike Elko brings an elite defensive acumen to the fold.
Earning a starting spot in the trenches during his 2023 sophomore season, Scourton lit up that stat sheet with 50 tackles (33 solo tackles), 10 sacks, 15 tackles for loss, one forced fumble, and three pass deflections on the year, leading the Big 10 in sacks in one of the toughest conferences in the country.

Acquiring a player of Scourton’s caliber could be the catalyst to adding several other portal defenders and providing much-needed momentum heading into the pivotal 2024 campaign.
