QB Stewart granted
extra year of eligibility
Staff and Wire Report
Texas A&M quarterback
Branndon Stewart was granted an
extra year of eligibility Tuesday.
Stewart, who transferred to
A&M January
1995 from the
University of
Tennessee,
was forced to
give up a year
of eligibility in
compliance
with NCAA
regulations.
National
letters of Stewart
intent are for a
full year, and since he did not
fulfill that requirement, he basi
cally forfeited two years.
Stewart and his family peti
tioned the national letter of
intent steering committee of the
Collegiate Commissioners
Association, and now he will be
listed as a junior for the 1997
football season.
“I’m excited about getting
another year of eligibility back,”
Stewart said. “I felt like my
career had been cut short losing
that extra year when I trans
ferred. This gives me a chance to
further my development.”
A&M Head Coach R.C.
Slocum said he was happy with
the ruling.
“In light of the NCAA look
ing out for the welfare of the
student-athlete, I feel the rul
ing is very appropriate. The
extra year allows him to devel
op his abilities.”
Stewart started all 12 Aggie
games last season. He completed
146 of 299 passes for 1,904 yards
and nine touchdowns. He threw
for seven interceptions.

“It (controlling his emotions)
saves you a lot of shots throughout
a round of golf,” del Angel said.
“I’ve learned as I’ve grown
through the years here at A&M
that it doesn’t really matter how
you hit it, it’s just the way to
think your way around the golf
course and the way you handle
yourself under certain condi
tions. It’s just part of the learn
ing process.”
The learning process for del
Angel included being able to
handle his success and bur
geoning talents, a seemingly
abstract concept Ellis tried to
simplify.
“Miguel’s always been a little
bit afraid,” Ellis said. “I think a
little afraid of success, and
afraid of his own abilities to give
him success. But he has made
some real mental commitments.
He’s not afraid to get into some
tough situations because he
knows he has the ability to get
out of them.”
Lately, the team has been
putting itself in fewer and fewer
tough situations, as evidenced by
their recent national ranking and
favorite status for the impending
Big 12 Tournament.
“I’m very excited,” del Angel
said. “We have a very good team
and we’re finally pulling it all
together. All of us individually are
so talented, and these past few
tournaments we’ve really come
into our own. We’ve started com
peting better as a team. I’m looking
forward to going up and playing in
the first Big 12 Tournament.”

Hullett

Sutherland said she is happy
Hullett has the opportunity to
play in the tournament, because
most people do not get the
chance to go.
“She’s going to learn a lot from
that experience by watching other
people,” Sutherland said. “Golf is
all about experience, and the
more you can play at higher levels
the better you can become.”
Hullett, a sports manage
ment major, said she intends to
finish her degree but would
eventually like to pursue a pro
fessional golf career.
Becker
Continued from Page 7
“I knew Isabelle too, because
she is from Sweden,” Becker said.
“She (Rosberg) told me a lot of
good things about the school. She
really helped me a lot.”
For the Lady Aggies, Becker has
proved she can play with the
Americans. She is third on the team
with a 79.33 average and ranked
14th in the Big 12.
Rosberg said Becker faced many
changes when she first arrived in
Aggieland, but she has adjusted well.
“She’s mostly practiced alone
before, and at first, it’s an adjust
ment to practice with your team
mates,” Rosberg said.
Rosberg said she and Becker
rely on each other both on and off
the golf course.
“Anna supports me in many
things, too,” Rosberg said. “We
get together, especially on the
weekends, and cook Swedish food
From looking at her record,
Hullett appears to be right on
track for heading into the LPGA
circuit. As a freshman, Hullett
tied for first place at the
Southwest Conference
Championships, was named to
the 1994-95 A1I-SWC Tournament
Team and was a Rolex All-
American third-team pick.
Sutherland said Hullett is the
type of player other people
admire because of her dedication
to the sport.
“Jamie is not a vocal leader, but
her modesty and attitude say a lot
to her teammates,” Sutherland
said. “She always does the right
thing, and I think everyone looks
up to her.”
and hang out the way we do at
home. It’s a great comfort when
you’re so far away from home.”
Although Rosberg commends
Becker on playing well for A&M,
Rosberg said she has not quite
played up to her ability.
“The scores that she shot in
Sweden and all of the champi
onship titles that she has with the
Swedish national team show that
she is a high-caliber player,”
Rosberg said.
“I think she will come through
at any time now and play the way
she is capable of.”
Sutherland said she is confi
dent in Becker’s game, and that
next year Becker will come back
even stronger.
“Anna’s learned a lot, but I
think her biggest asset is her
maturity and her attitude,”
Sutherland said. “She is incredi
bly mature and is probably one
of the most mature freshmen I
have coached, and that has
helped her so much.”
