Jimbo Fisher hasn’t needed much time to make an impact on Texas A&M’s recruiting, but will his first class measure up to the Aggies’ best units of recent years? No.
Under R.C. Slocum, Dennis Franchione, Mike Sherman and/or Kevin Sumlin, the Aggies have brought future winners of the Heisman Trophy, Butkus Award and Outland Trophy to College Station since 2000. They’ve also sent a long list of players to the NFL with early draft picks, including top overall selection Myles Garrett in 2017.
What those classes haven’t done in that period, though, is win a conference title, whether in the SEC or earlier in the Big 12.
