Through all the chaos during the early signing period on Wednesday, Texas A&M’s 2024 recruiting class is in much better shape than many expected after the firing of now-former head coach Jimbo Fisher. New head coach Mike Elko has done an admirable job signing most of the Aggies 2024 cycle.
However, like every program, especially the Florida Gators, 2024 four-star linebacker Tyanthony Smith, who has been committed to the Aggies since June 30, flipped to the Texas Longhorns after a late push from head coach Steve Sarkisian, so credit to them.
Smith, who stands at 6’1″, 205 pounds, received over 25 offers as he continued to rise in the rankings throughout his 2023 season at Jasper High School, and after the success seen from Texas standout freshman linebacker Anthony Hill, it’s no surprise that Smith chose a different collegiate path, but in the age of the transfer portal, who knows if Austin, Texas is truly his final destination.
