The in-state rival of the Texas football program, Texas A&M Aggies, we’re hit with some NCAA sanctions thanks to recruiting violations in 2018 and 2019.

Hitting on the recruiting trail hard is something that both the Texas football program and Texas A&M Aggies had to do in creative fashion since the start of the in-person contact hiatus instituted by the NCAA. The current embargo for recruiting visits mandated by the NCAA is in place through Aug. 31, which technically sits through the start of the 2020 season.

But the big recruiting news of the day didn’t have as much to do with the Longhorns as it did their rival in the Lone Star Showdown.
