Shayne Lawrence

I caught up with a few people and it sounds like the Aggies made a big impression on the young Bishop Dunne crew. 2020 LB Brennon Scott already holds an offer from the Aggies and I was told coach Fisher, the facilities, the campus, the distance from home were things that caught his attention about the A&M program. It sounds like the Aggies really put themselves in a good position early on in this recruitment. Also keep an eye on 2020 RB/ATH Jaden Hullaby. He had a good conversation with coach Fisher. He's a big, versatile back, and he is already drawing the attention of SEC programs. It sounds like he caught the Aggies' eye this weekend. At QB, Cedar Hill 2019 Shayne Lawrence is a guy who is seeing his stock rise this offseason. He's a big guy who definitely looks the part, and he can put the ball out there too. He was able to sit down with coach Dickey and talk about the offense and where he fits in. Lawrence does have some A&M ties too, his sister Donique Flemings ran the 100 hurdles, 400 hurdles, and the 4x4, and was part of national titles in 2008 and 2009. His sister Lyric Lawrence also ran track at Texas A&M. His mom, dad, both sisters and two nieces made the trip with him. Allen QB Grant Tisdale also had a nice time on campus. He got some one-on-one time with coach Dickey as well and the Aggies let him know they plan to check him out this spring. Yesterday was the first time Branson Bragg really had a chance to check out the A&M campus and facilities and he described what he saw as "second to none". He liked that coach Schmidt came from OU to A&M. He was able to sit down and speak with coach Turner. Turner let him know he wanted Bragg to be his next great center. Genuine was a word that kept coming up when he talked about coach Fisher and coach Turner. Right now he does not have a decision timetable, and he named a top 4 of Texas, Texas A&M, Stanford, and Arkansas and Oklahoma State in there too. He will visit Stanford next week, and plans to visit Texas in the spring, and he wants to visit Arkansas and Oklahoma State. He made the trip to A&M with his dad and grandfather. His dad, who is a Texas fan, told the coaches he was really impressed with what he saw. Bragg did say his dad has not let the fan part of him impact Bragg's decision making as they go through the recruiting process. The engineering department, the proximity to home, and College Station as a town were things Bragg mentioned that helped Texas A&M standout in his mind. We'll have more from Bragg later.
