Texas A&M Aggies news: Edgerrin Cooper could be a day 1 pick; 2025 scheduling is either disappointing or sign of something huge coming
Here’s your daily roundup of Texas A&M Aggies news for March 21, 2024.
Edgerrin Cooper’s stock just keeps rising. After a great 2023 season, the LB from Texas A&M football has had a lot of hype around his NFL draft status. The pro day for the Aggies happened this past Tuesday, and Cooper impressed again, especially with his 40 time. Looking at the numbers from this season, it’s possible that Cooper could be the top linebacker in the draft—and, therefore, be a first-rounder.
Speaking of football, the Aggies’ opponents for 2025 have been officially released. This may be a list that looks somewhat familiar! That’s because it is the same conference teams from 2024, just with road and home locations flipped (and the Arkansas game being played in Fayetteville rather than Dallas). Is this just lazy scheduling, or is there something more going on?

One of the Aggies’ top hitters, Braden Montgomery, took the mound as a starter last night for Aggie baseball. Montgomery came in as a two-way player, but clearly tended towards the offense. That showed itself to be the case again, as Prairie View hit a three-run homer in the first following two walks. He wouldn’t make it through the second, but the Aggies ended up pulling out the 11-9 victory.
The Aggie men and women’s basketball teams continue to prepare for their tournament matchups (or, should I say, each’s matchup with Nebraska). Here’s the streaming and announcer information for the Aggie men’s game as March Madness kicks off today.

Clemson is joining FSU as another ACC school to sue the conference. Most of this surrounds the language in the ACC’s grant of rights agreement; Clemson contends that they should be able to retain their own media rights if they leave the conference, whereas the ACC says that is not the case, hoping to avoid anyone jumping ship.
