Just curious as to how he has been doing since he chose A&M over us a few years ago. Is he a big contributor or does he just sit on the sidelines most of the time?

He was expected to start, but he never seemed to be able to play within the system. He played more early in the year as a nickle back. He is aggressive and we still have high hopes for him, but he has to improve.

Imo, he is competing in the 2-deep, likes to hit, but not exactly shut down in coverage. The secondary (as a whole) has been fairly inconsistent at times. However, I think he is improving and is someone that seems to be in Snyder’s (our DC) mix.

As I understand, he has contributed.

Aggies young corners impressing

He took a step this year and showed flashes, but he has a little way to go. I think he pans out though.

He's aggressive as all hell and loves nothing more than to hit...needs to get better mentally if he wants to start.

What a crazy story his recruitment was.

Apparently his mom wanted him to be a Rebel so bad that she forged his signature on his LOI and sent it to Ole Miss. It was revealed that it was a forged signature, and the LOI was voided. Shortly thereafter, he sent his real LOI to the Aggies.

Good for Floyd I guess. I want players to be where they want to be. It just sucks that he has a batshit mom to deal with.

His coverage skills leave much to be desired, but that kid can hit.

He had the final pick in the Missouri game.

I like that he lays a lick, we need more of that on our team.

agreed! He really can bring the nasty hits. I think with another year of seasoning he's going to become something special.

GREAT physical talent, just hasnt put it all together yet.

Understandable going from highschool to college and then having to learn a 3rd defensive scheme in as many years with the coaching change.

I could see him possibly moving to safety next year. He's physical as hell and pretty good in run support.

I would love it, he could be like Ed Reed back there with the way he hits.
