G’day, mate.

Let’s throw another commitment on the barbie.

Texas A&M has gone down under today to add punter Jamie Sidebottom‍ to their 2027 recruiting class.

He’s the 22nd verbal pledge for Mike Elko this cycle.

A standout Australian Football player, Sidebottom has only been kicking the American pigskin for a little over a year but has impressed in his workout tour across the country. There’s surprisingly not much about him online. I even had to convert his height and weight from centimeters and kilograms to feet and pounds. He’s 6-foot and 176 pounds.

Sidebottom visited Texas A&M in mid-June, where he earned his offer.

Stay tuned. Our coverage of the Aggie recruiting efforts will continue for our TexAgs Premium subscribers.

So the other recruit will concentrate on place kicking rather than also punt. Could be a backup if needed. We might be set kicking wise for a while.

His last name is an oxymoron.
