McALLEN — It’s unofficially official: Bradley Stephens will join the Texas A&M Aggies.
Stephens, the 5-foot-11, 192-pound record-breaker from McAllen Memorial, verbally committed to the Aggies, ironically, after a group meeting with Texas football coach Mack Brown.
"Coach (Mack) Brown was talking to a group of us at junior day," Stephens said, referring to the gathering with prospective underclassmen in Austin, "and he said you should make a decision then instead of wasting people’s time."
After thinking about Brown’s advice, Stephens settled on the Aggies.
"Really a lot of things played in to it," Stephens said. "For quite a while A&M has been the top school on my list."
Among the schools bidding for Stephens’ services were Texas, Iowa State, Oklahoma State, Georgia Tech, Houston, Notre Dame and Michigan, to name a few. As a junior, Stephens had scholarship offers from A&M, Oklahoma State, Georgia Tech, Iowa State and Houston.
Stephens rushed for 2,622 yards in 10 games during 2005 and planned on making his verbal commitment before the 2006 football season. Though Stephens has chosen Texas A&M, the commitment won’t be binding until he signs a national letter of intent Feb. 7, 2007.
"What (Brown) said was very true," Stephens said. "A&M has been on the top of my list, and that’s really where my heart has been set to go."
