re: 4* DT Victory Vaka commits to A&M

Yes. Between Diggs, Raikes, Harris, Walker, Jackson, Vaka, & Harris (21) these last 2 classes are great and will get better is we land someone like Burris and a couple others.

DL is becoming maybe the strongest position on the team.

2019 Leal (5 star), Hunter (4 star), Mowry (4 star), and Jones (3 star)
2020 Jackson (4 star), Harris (4 star), Diggs (4 star), Raikes (3 star), Walker (3 star)
2021 Vaka (4 atar)

Jones is the biggest reach in that group, and he was offered by all the east coast teams, plus Georgia and South Carolina.

10 wins regular season is the basement for this Aggie team with the talent and experience on this roster.

“well I don’t know much about the school or anything” and “ im still taking my 5 officials.”

“I was ready,” Vaka said. “There were a lot of things I liked about A&M. They have been recruiting me hard from the beginning and made me a priority. It’s SEC football and I’ve always dreamed about playing in the SEC. Plus you can’t get much bigger then playing football in Texas so when you add those two things together, it was a pretty appealing for me.”

Vaka said his connection with the coaching staff also played a big role.

“Coach E (Elijah Robinson) and coach (Jimbo) Fisher were great with me throughout this whole process,” Vaka said. “That was the biggest thing for me to be honest, I love the staff and trust them. Coach E is a great defensive coach and has a great plan for me. He has been recruiting me heavily for a while now and I love that coach Fisher is personally involved in my recruitment as a head coach. That definitely meant a lot to me.

“They have done a great job at A&M at developing defensive lineman and getting them drafted and that’s obviously my goal too. I know it’s early but I wasn’t originally planning to commit this soon but the more I thought about it, the more I realized A&M was the best place for me and there was no need to put it off.”

Vaka, who chose the Aggies after cutting his list to Florida, Florida State, Michigan and Oregon, has yet to visit College Station but hopes to shortly.

“I was supposed to visit next week,” Vaka said. “I had several trips set up but they all had to be canceled when everything (Covid) went down. Hopefully by the end of May the travel ban is lifted and then I’ll be in College Station ASAP.

“Like I said though, I’m comfortable with so much about A&M, I was still confident in making my decision. I'll be able to do some zoom calls there and get a good feel and then I'll be on campus, hopefully by the summer. I'm really excited to be an Aggie and feel really good about this, it's definitely the best move for me."

Are you going to bring him "BIG FOOD" that will keep him his height?

He never made any sense in a 4 man front, he's pushing over 350 these days, ranking has tumbled a ton.

He was a 4 star when he committed but has since fallen to a 3 star.

He just tweeted: go gators? let me know sumn
