TEXAS A&M
Texas A&M is short a defensive back for 2015.
Former three-star defensive back Tavares Garner has transferred, according to 247Sports. He transferred to Henderson State in Arkansas.
Garner played in seven games as a freshman and four as a sophomore, and with the rise of Brandon Williams at cornerback, it was unlikely Garner would play a big role for the defense. Garner’s role may have been limited to special teams.
The Manvel, Tx., product originally signed with TAMU during the 2013 recruiting cycle.
The big 2013 Class is down to 13 players. Wow.
I was very excited about that class…..it seemed so solid…….these things happen
It had to happen. When you have such a talented group they simply won’t all be able to play. Good players on great teams leave to start for good teams.. it’s a good thing. :)
Well whenever you bring in more talent, players get their egos bruised and want to transfer. Happens at dang near every program. He probably got pushed to 2nd or 3rd string.
Try fourth or fifth. Capers-Smith & Roney Elam were getting more reps. Garner was getting pushed off of the depth chart. He was ok in zone coverage. Apparently he wasn’t getting Chavis’ press man coverage. The Ag’s wish him good luck at his new school. His brothers played there. Sad for family to leave but we understand. Gig’em.
I grew up a tennessee fan, until I went to LSU… so I’ve been watching chavis defenses my entire life. He doesn’t always utilize guys who are zone specialists… in favor of bigger, physical, man-to-man guys… they also have to love to hit. doesn’t sound like yall will be hurting too bad for losing him though
I was trying to be polite. He was not a fit for Chavis. And nobody ran him off. He chose to leave. And we wish the best for him.
As for Elam & Capers-Smith. Those two are all in. Deshawn (Capers-Smith) was Mr. Louisiana High School Football last year. Interesting young man. Warren Easton graduate. Polite as the day is long. Somehow he is related to Joseph, our secondary coach. I was kind of surprised LSU didn’t offer him. Chavis pulled the trigger on the offer late. The young man puts in work. He gets praise from the D staff. He may be a coonazz but he took to being an Aggie like a duck to water.
Dead weight. Just freed up a scholarship We need more linebackers anyways
