Linebacker and defensive end have both been position of need at Texas A&M since Kevin Sumlin’s arrival in 2012.

The Aggies are taking the necessary steps to ensure the front seven on defense is a strength in the future.

Three-star defensive end Alton Robinson was the latest commit on Thursday, pushing Texas A&M’s 2016 class to 12 players, currently rated 12th in the nation per 247Sports.

Robinson was thought to be a Baylor lean, but the Converse, Texas native who accumulated 20 tackles for loss and 16 sacks last season had other ideas.
