Texas A&M's fall practice schedule is finishing up its second week of on-field activity. The 2024 season opener vs. Notre Dame is just three weeks away, and it will also serve as head coach Mike Elko's first game as the program's newest leader after Jimbo Fisher's departure last November.

On Thursday, three more players took the podium before the Aggies took the field for the 7th time this fall, as former Purude defensive end Nic Scourton joined former Kansas State cornerback Wil Lee Jr. and recently named 12th Man representative and sophomore linebacker Nana Boadi-Owusu to discuss all the progress made during the last two weeks on the field.

Scourton, who rightfully enters the program as one of the premier stars on the roster, has lofty goals this season after leading the Big Ten in sacks (10), stating that an All-American campaign is at the top of his personal goals, knowing that matching, or possibly, surpassing his 2023 production will easily place him among the top defenders in the country.

Previewing A&M's cornerback room, Wil Lee Jr. brings a lot to the table, while Boadi-Owusu reflected on the honor of representing the 12th Man throughout the 2024 season. Here is what all three players had to say on the afternoon.
