Former LSU GM Austin Thomas hired at Texas A&M: reports

Former LSU football general manager Austin Thomas, who handled a wide range of recruiting duties for the Tigers, reportedly has a new home.

Thomas was spotted in College Station, Texas last week and according to Chris Vannini of The Athletic, Thomas has been cleared by the NCAA to begin work at Texas A&M.

The hold up with Thomas' hiring dealt with Thomas clearing the NCAA's IAWP rule - Individuals Associated With a Prospect. The rule was put in place so college couldn't hire a prospect's high school coach but it hasn't gone over well with colleges.
