Congrats Elam, I would have picked A&M over LU any day of the week and I'm a Longhorn fan.

Well it's not a fair comparison

Looking forward to seeing this kid in action in a few weeks.

Im not fond of A&M, only reason I been watching was cause of JFF but I must say they picked up a potential star in Elam and here's why:

He is a tall CB or DB for that matter thats a rarity in the SEC for most teams, he will be a matchup problem for any WR he covers rather on the outside or in the slot, he's fast enough to stay in a WRs hip pocket and shifty enough to recover if slightly beaten, he may not be a 5star recruit but he will play like one when he steps on campus IMO.

He had a "espn highlight interception"friday night, he dove tipped it he fell to the ground got up and still made the catch, awesome play!
