The Aggies picked up a big commitment on Friday in Tyrel Dodson, a player they hope can make an impact in the future.
The Texas A&M Aggies already posses an impressive 2016 recruiting class and they bolstered it Friday evening as 2016 four-star inside linebacker Tyrel Dodson (Franklin, TN. Centennial) committed to the program Friday afternoon while on his unofficial visit, giving a verbal pledge to head coach Kevin Sumlin.
He tweeted his decision earlier this evening, confirming it to the public.

Dodson is touted as the No. 295 overall player in his class, No. 10 inside linebacker and the No. 8 player from the state of Tennessee per the 247Sports Composite Rankings. His recruitment was led by first-year defensive coordinator John Chavis.
