Report: A&M's Jimbo Fisher came close to stealing elite recruit away from LSU before early signing day

When new Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher left Louisiana after a recent recruiting trip, the Aggies appeared to be on the verge of landing one of the nation's top recruits, according to a report.

A recent feature from the Baton Rouge Advocate details Fisher's pursuit of 5-star wide receiver Terrace Marshall in the weeks leading up to the early signing period on Dec. 20.

Marshall ultimately signed with LSU. But how close did the Aggies come to signing Marshall?

"When Jimbo left, I thought they had him," Marshall Sr. told The Advocate.
