Texas A&M Football: Meet the Aggie leading a defensive culture change

The Texas A&M football program has found a young man of this description; not only does he talk big, he plays even bigger.

In their newest album, the trio of rappers collectively called Migos have a song in which the lyrics say “Walk it like I talk it.” The song goes on to describe how the speaker can back up his verbal claims, something that most people can’t seem to do.

Anyone can talk a big game, but only the real ones can follow through. People like Terrell Owens and Deon Sanders come to mind as some of the few who were verbal about their abilities and actually provided evidence of dominance on the field.

It is my understanding that the Texas A&M football program has found a young man of this description; not only does he talk big, he plays even bigger.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock and have still managed to stay off Twitter, you’ve probably already heard the name, Leon O’Neal Jr. The Cypress, Texas native is one of the most anticipated Aggie recruits in recent years. Not only does his playing ability have something to do with that, but also his position and his expressive attitude.

Never mind the tweet itself, check out his Twitter handle. WakeEmUp9. That’s exactly what Leon O’Neal plans to do. He plans to wake ‘em up; wake up the doubters, the haters, those saying that Texas A&M should go back to the Big 12 and that Jimbo Fisher won’t be any better than Kevin Sumlin. Leon has big plans for those people. He plans to wake ‘em up and show ‘em that they are very, very wrong about this new era of Aggie football.
