The Aggies flipped another one.
Jamarion Morrow, a longtime Missouri verbal commitment, flipped his commitment and signed with Texas A&M on Tuesday.
Morrow declared in favor of the Tigers over the summer. Over the past month, the four-star running back from Memphis (Tenn.) Melrose High School officially visited both Georgia and Texas A&M.
Rivals’ No. 5 all-purpose back pulled the trigger on the flip on National Signing Day — days removed from his final visit — to College Station — over the weekend.
“Texas A&M has always been in the picture — we just, as a family, had to come and observe, to see what it would be like if we were to go there,” Jarrett Morrow, his Jamarion’s father, told Rivals. “Crowd-wise, energy-wise — it’s everything. The official visit went great. My family enjoyed the official visit, and just to be able to see it again in-person, it just kind of completed the mission.”
“The game’s energy was crazy,” he continued on the family’s two-day unofficial visit back to College Station over the weekend that put the Aggies in the driver’s seat with the four-star running back.
Trooper Taylor and Collin Klein have been leading the charge for Morrow.
Their resumes captivated the back and his family back in June before he committed to Missouri.
Down the stretch of the recruiting calendar, the Aggies turned it back on again.
“The next day we had a great time. We had a long conversation with Coach Troop. Everything went great. Looking at the offense, what Coach (Collin) Klein, the offensive coordinator did when he had Deuce Vaughn. I saw the way he used Deuce at Kansas State, so that was something that always grabbed my attention because he’s moving him around everywhere and Jamarion is similar — he has similar skill set as Deuce Vaughn did.”
“I paid very close attention on the official visit when he showed me how he used Vaughn — I knew this guy knows how to use someone with Jamarion’s skill set, so that’s always was in my head,” Morrow recounted. “He had to be on the stage. He’s got to be on a bigger stage. He’s worked that hard for that, for this stage.”
