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.
