After two seasons of stellar play in the Aggies defensive backfield, Texas A&M junior safety Donovan Wilson has announced that he will return for his senior season.
Wilson made the announcement via his Twitter account Wednesday:
Got more work to do in maroon and can't wait to go to war with my Brothers next fall #seniorcampaign pic.twitter.com/9Cv8Upo0gO

That’s fantastic news for the Aggies’ defense, which already received news that junior free safety Armani Watts is also set to return to the starting lineup in 2017. Wilson has started the last two seasons in John Chavis’ edition of the Wrecking Crew and will now return to ensure A&M has one of the best safety combos in that nation for 2017.
In 11 games this season, Wilson recorded 55 tackles (5.5 for loss), a sack and an interception for a secondary unit that ranked 38th nationally (6th in the SEC) in opponent passer rating (122.2).
