Texas A&M football set to host 5-star Alabama commit Dijon Lee for rivalry showdown vs. Longhorns

Mike Elko and this Texas A&M football staff have been relentless on the recruiting trail so far. They've built one of the top ten classes in the nation—and they've found an unlikely source for doing so.

As I wrote about back in the summer, this Aggie staff has landed some big time recruits out of the Golden State this cycle. While California has not normally been a state where the Ags have a lot of success on the trail, this staff has flipped that trend on its head.

They've done so to such a degree, in fact, that they currently hold commitments from three of the top five players in the state. They're working hard, though, to add one more to that number.

The Aggies have received a visit in the past from CB Dijon Lee of Mission Viejo, California. Lee made it to campus this summer, but afterwards committed to Alabama.

Apparently, though, this staff has been keeping the lines of communication open. Per Landyn Rosow of Rivals, Lee has set a visit to Texas A&M for November 30th—the date of the Lone Star Showdown.

If there's any game that a recruit could see Kyle Field at full power for, it's this one. Especially considering the fact that this rivalry could be a top-10 matchup when it occurs, there's little doubt that the Home of the 12th Man will be packed out, rowdy, and loud all game.

This could potentially be a big time move for Mike Elko and this Aggie staff. They already have a big time DB class this cycle, but they could add even more to it with a guy like Lee. I doubt this is the last name committed elsewhere that we see take a visit to College Station over the remainder of the season.
