Four-star offensive tackle Colten Blanton has been committed to Texas A&M for more than nine months, and from the day he was offered, he knew he would be an Aggie.

“I was at a restaurant and I got a text from a coach at my school,” Blanton told GN. “He told me to ‘call this number and make sure you step outside from whatever you’re doing and just sit down and talk with them.’ It was (offensive line) Coach (Jim) Turner from Texas A&M and I talked with him for a few minutes. He offered me, then I walked back in and my mom started crying in the middle of the restaurant.
