During the second week of Texas A&M’s fall practice period, three players, including former Purdue Edge Nic Scourton, took the podium to take questions from the local Aggie media to not only discuss the progress made by A&M’s loaded defensive line but also talk about his recent meeting A&M pass rush legends Myles Garrett and Von Miller.
While Scourton, a native of Bryan, Texas, may only spend one full season with the program after leading the Big Ten in sacks (10) during his final season at Purdue, who is better to emulate this coming season than two of the top sack artists to ever grace Kyle Field?
Speaking with reporters, Scourton noted that he was starstruck after a photo emerged in late July of the junior standing with Garrett and Miller after what looked like a workout, providing insight on how things went while looking toward Texas A&M’s 2024 season opener vs. Notre Dame:
“I was surreal,” Scourton stated. “Just me, it’s like imagining me and Superman, him being ten times cooler than you ever thought he was. Myles is a quiet guy, very expressive, and very funny. It was a blessing that I made those connections. It was really nice.”
Cool, calm, and collected, Scourton plays with his hair on fire once the ball is snapped, just like Garrett and Miller have played during their college and NFL careers, as Mike Elko and his staff are looking for a productive pass rusher to eclipse his sack and tackle for loss numbers alongside fellow pass rushers Shemar Stewart, Shemar Turner, and Cashius Howell.
