Around Aggieland (10/20)
On Friday’s edition of TexAgs Radio, Kay Naegeli took us Around Aggieland and provided updates on all things Texas A&M as football Midseason All-America lists have been released and volleyball, soccer, baseball and equestrian are all in action this weekend.
Football
Edgerrin Cooper is not on one, two or three Midseason All-America lists. #45 is on seven. The linebacker has posted 45 tackles and 13.5 TFLs. Cooper is also the highest-graded linebacker per PFF.
Taurean York was named to The Athletic’s Midseason Freshman All-America team.
Congrats to Max Wright for being nominated for the Wuerffel Trophy, an award given annually to the college football player who best combines exemplary community service with athletic and academic achievement.
Volleyball
The Texas A&M volleyball team opens its week against No. 17 Florida on Friday in Reed Arena, with first serve set for 6:30 p.m. A month ago, Texas A&M volleyball beat Florida for the first time in program history, 3-2.
On Sunday, the Aggies will take on Georgia at 1 p.m. at Reed Arena.
Soccer
Texas A&M surrendered a goal just before halftime and couldn't find an answer as South Carolina spoiled Senior Night and the 2023 home finale at Ellis Field, 1-0. The Aggies outshot the Gamecocks 25-9 but once again failed to capitalize on key opportunities down the stretch.
Trying to make a postseason appearance, the Aggies close the regular season on the road with trips to Knoxville and Baton Rouge. They’ll take on Tennessee this Sunday at 1 p.m. CT.
