September 25, 20214 yr Spoiler Jimbo Fisher and the A&M staff have been riding a wave of recruiting momentum since early February and that run continued this evening, as the Ags were able to venture into the heart of SEC territory and add their quarterback to a sensational class that is threatening to push Alabama out of the top spot in the 2019 rankings. For as hot as the Aggies have been on the recruiting front since an incredible Signing Day close five months ago, landing a talented signal-caller was an absolute must for Fisher and Darrell Dickey in this cycle. The A&M staff extended a few offers nationally and were very patient and deliberate while evaluating options from Florida to California and all points in between. And then Zach Calzada camped in College Station. The 6-3 (and still growing) gunslinger made his way to Aggieland last Friday and threw to several of A&M's top targets in front of Fisher, Dickey and Co. Frankly, I'm not sure it took more than a few warm-up tosses for the Ags' national championship head coach to realize that he had found his man. Calzada, who has seen his stock soar this spring as he picked up offers from the likes of A&M, Georgia, Tennessee, N.C. State and others, rifled accurate passes all over the Ags indoor practice field, displaying a quick release, excellent mechanics and, most of all, a cannon right arm. A few days later, Zach and his family made a return trip to Aggieland, he cancelled a scheduled weekend visit to Clemson and ended what was a whirlwind process by choosing the Aggies. Zach has the arm strength to make even the most difficult throws look easy and can also display delicate touch when necessary. He holds the ball and gets rid of it in a hurry and passes just seem to jump off of his hand. One can only imagine how fired up Fisher was when Calzada told him the news. The man who does nothing BUT produce first-round draft picks at the position just added a young man who has shown over the past year that he's developing (and growing) at a very accelerated rate and who has limitless potential as a passer. Zach has the arm strength to make even the most difficult throws look easy and can also display delicate touch when necessary. He holds the ball and gets rid of it in a hurry and passes just seem to jump off of his hand. He's also a tireless worker who has had to grind his way from relative unknown to one of the fastest-rising QB prospects in the country, one who many unbiased observers from both the media and coaching ranks believed should have been included among the final group in this year's Elite 11 field. Calzada is also plenty athletic enough to make some things happen with his legs and has a reputation as a pretty fiery competitor and natural leader. In other words, the newest addition to Dickey's quarterback room checks all of the boxes. When I watched him throw in person last week, a name that immediately came to mind was Jarrett Stidham. As a junior at Lanier High School, Calzada threw for 1,706 yards on 116-of-227 passing, with 15 touchdowns versus 11 picks. He added three scores on the ground. Pay close attention to Zach's senior production. Because he stood well under 6-0 tall until a little over a year ago, he's been a late-bloomer at the position, with last fall really being his first to showcase his skills as a varsity starter. So he is far ahead of where he was a year ago at this time — both from a physical and developmental/maturity/experience standpoint — this dude is going to absolutely blow up this fall and the offers will continue to pour in despite his A&M pledge. It won't matter, however, as Calzada is solid and Fisher and the Ags are officially out of the 2019 quarterback market as of today. Calzada becomes the Ags' 17th commitment in the 2019 class and his pledge is sure to catch the attention of at least a couple of uncommitted A&M wide receiver targets. Both West Mesquite's Dylan Wright and 2020 stud Troy Omeire spent last Friday afternoon catching passes from and getting to know the future Aggie quarterback and came away as impressed as anyone with the Georgia product's ability to sling the rock.
September 25, 20214 yr I'd be surprised if bitch ass Leon didn't make some sort of bitch ass move here before this one is over
September 25, 20214 yr Don't forget- this is technically both an Aggie win and loss as SEC wins are communal.
September 25, 20214 yr 3 TOs so Aggy will get the ball back. But will need to go a looong way and then get an onside kick
September 25, 20214 yr A&M held all last year and was never called for it. We could have been spared the whole rollercoaster ride if they had been.
September 25, 20214 yr Held Arkansas to fewer points than tu did. Give Jimbo another raise and extension.
