College football recruiting is an ever-evolving world, with coaches constantly trying whatever will attract the top talent to their university and help bolster their football program. While this normally only extends to signing football players, Texas A&M Aggies head coach Jimbo Fisher took a bold step on Sunday, offering a scholarship and receiving a verbal commitment from omnipresent former NBC News Anchor Brian Williams.
The staff here at Good Bull Hunting was surprised to say the least when we heard the news of Williams’ commitment. Given the Aggies’ more pressing needs in the defensive secondary, it’s surprising to see them spend an athletic scholarship on the 58-year-old newsman.
