Family feel for Agim
In early June, Hope (Ark.) Rivals100 defensive end McTelvin Agim trimmed his list to four schools. Arkansas, Baylor, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M were listed in no order, and as July begins his list remains the same.
Agim received offers from across the country, but when it came time to narrow his list one thing stood above the rest.

"I think the family feel of it," Agim said. "I have an uncle out in Mississippi. I have Tra Carson at Texas A&M. I have Dustin Thomas, Tevin Beanum, Will Gragg, Jarrion Lawson and all of them at Arkansas. At Baylor I have Davion Hall, Shock Linwood, and KD Cannon. They're my boys so it's just family."
It also helps that each of the four programs have generated a lot of positive momentum on the field. Whether it is coach Freeze at Ole Miss, coach Beilema at Arkansas, coach Sumlin at Texas A&M, or coach Briles at Baylor, Agim feels like each is headed in a championship direction in the near future.
Agim has been focused on summer classes and he has not had a chance to check out any of his college options. He plans to take his official visits in the fall and he could graduate in December to enroll at his school of choice.
"I'm still trying to figure some stuff out," Agim said. "It's a big decision so I have to take it all in."
Agim is currently ranked No. 92 in the Rivals100, No. 1 in the Rivals.com Arkansas Spring Top 10, and No. 6 among the nation's strongside defensive ends. As a junior he recorded 72 tackles, 22 tackles for loss, and four fumble recoveries.
