The Aggies also made offseason headlines by recruiting a defensive line with a whopping four five-star prospects.
The Aggies must replace four starters on the defensive line — no easy task in the SEC, no matter star ratings.The Aggies haven’t had this electric of a preseason Heisman Trophy candidate at running back since ’Lectric Leeland McElroy himself in 1995. The question is whether Achane at 5-foot-9 and 185 pounds can stand the rigors of being the Aggies’ every-down back, because he’s going to get that chance.Sophomore Bryce Foster was figured to be the no-doubt starting center after holding down the fort at the position as a true freshman last season — while also learning it along the way in an admirable effort — but Foster did not take part in spring drills while competing primarily in the shot put for the A&M track and field team.
Interestingly enough by late in camp Fisher still had not officially named starters at the two positions grasping the ball the most: center and quarterback.Fisher did what he felt like he had to do in defending his program after Saban said A&M “bought” its entire 2022 class through the new name, image and likeness means of compensating players, but Fisher did no favors for the Aggies on Oct. 8 at Alabama.
