On Friday’s edition of TexAgs Radio, Kay Naegeli took us Around Aggieland and provided updates on all things Texas A&M as football garnered plenty of All-SEC honors and men's and women's basketball navigate their non-conference schedules.
Football
Ahead of the Texas Bowl, Ainias Smith, Edgerrin Cooper, Layden Robinson and Shemar Turner were awarded All-SEC honors on Tuesday afternoon. Smith was named to the First Team All-SEC as both an all-purpose player and return specialist to headline the list of standout Aggies.
Cooper, previously named to the 2021 SEC All-Freshman Team, also joins Smith on the First Team All-SEC as a linebacker. Robinson and Turner are included on the second team at their primary positions.
Texas A&M is represented by freshmen Taurean York, Rueben Owens and Chase Bisontis on the 2023 Freshman All-Southeastern Conference Team. This marks the third consecutive season the Aggies landed at least three players on the All-Freshman Team.
Men’s basketball
With a season-high 14 3-pointers (including 11 in the first half), No. 21 Texas A&M cruised to victory vs. DePaul inside the friendly confines of Reed Arena.
