Aggies convince OL to play in Big 12

Kingwood, Texas offensive lineman Chris Yoder decided the place to be for him was the Big 12.

"I had a really good time on the visit," the 6-foot-3, 280-pound Yoder said. "Everything went really well on the visit. I decided to change my commitment from LSU to Texas A&M this weekend and I told Coach Franchione today when he and I got to talk in his office."

The switch of commitment lands the No. 8 rated center right into the Aggies class that the new coaching staff inherited and has since built on.

"I've been thinking about this ever since the new coaches started recruiting me in December. It is just the best place for me. The new facilities they are building all over will change so many things, and the new staff has things going in the right direction. It is just a good time to join the Aggies team."
