Dave Aranda is set to hire a major figure in the world of SEC recruiting, as sources tell FootballScoop that Austin Thomas will leave Texas A&M to join Aranda in Waco.
Thomas has spent the past two seasons as the Aggies’ associate AD for football personnel. We’re told his title at Baylor will be general manager of football operations.
Thomas and Aranda worked together at LSU, where Thomas spent five years, rising to the role of general manager in 2016. He was the second personnel director in college football and the first in the SEC to hold the GM title.
He was selected by his peers as the FootballScoop Personnel Director of the Year in 2015.

You could have a hundred Austin Thomas' and still couldn't convince top talent to come to Waco, TX

so is he like the guy with a binder?

The 247 board thought there was a great chance he was going to come back to LSU. I guess O didn’t want him

Aranda still screwing Jimbo.
I approve of this move!

I thought he left on bad terms?

We began having depth issues on the lines when that guy was "managing the roster." I never got why everyone was so high on him.

Remember a lot of people here wanting him to be named AD.

Good hire, Dave. Hurts A&M and helps them. I'm all about it.

Austin Thomas is a unicorn. He's some mythical beast that has magical powers. Or he doesn't exist and is just a horse that someone gorilla glued a horn to his head.

I think he burned that bridge on his last exit

Well apparently not with Aranda.

The current head coach.

Aranda has made solid moves thus far.
Clearly he paid attention during his time with O and LSU.
Props to him.
