3 Texas A&M standouts who were recruited by Texas

Bryce Anderson, S

The former elite high-four-star recruit from Beaumont (TX) West Brook High School, Bryce Anderson, was one of Texas's top in-state safety priorities in the 2022 class. Texas and Texas A&M were the two finalist schools that Anderson named that duked it out in this recruitment throughout the 2021 offseason.

Texas was one of the first P5 schools that offered Anderson very early in his recruitment, during the 2019 offseason. Anderson visited Texas multiple times, including on an official visit in the summer of 2021. The Longhorns were even considered the frontrunner in this recruitment early in the 2021 offseason.

Anderson was part of that historic No. 1 ranked recruiting class in the nation for the 2022 cycle in the 247Sports Composite that Texas A&M and Fisher signed a few years ago.

After Texas missed on Anderson in the 2022 recruiting class, Blake Gideon and the Longhorns filled a major need in the secondary with two insanely talented blue-chip recruits from Texas and Louisiana the following cycle (four-star DBs Malik Muhammad and Derek Williams Jr. in the 2023 class).

Anderson has been a consistent contributor to Texas A&M's secondary in the safety rotation over the past three seasons, starting over a dozen games and playing in over 30 since 2022.

Looking back on that 2022 Texas A&M recruiting class a few years later, Anderson definitely emerged as one of the most impactful and successful players from that cycle for the Aggies.
