BASKETBALL CONTINUED
basketball team,” Blair said. “That’s
what a leader does. A leader sits
there and says, ‘Okay, I’m on
crutches but I’ve still got a voice
and my voice carries a lot of weight
in the locker room [and] out of the
locker room.’”
The Aggies enter the SEC tour
nament projected as a an NCAA
6-seed. Blair said A&M has a noth-
ing-to-lose mentality.
“We know we’re in the NCAA
Tournament, what seed we are go
ing to have is going to depend on
can we start playing well again with
the people that we have,” Blair said.
“We’ve got other players that need
to step up and play a little bit harder
for longer periods of time.”
The Aggies will rely heavily on
the play of Courtney Williams and
Courtney Walker, both of whom
were honored as All-SEC players.
Because the Aggies’ season won’t
end due to elimination from the
SEC tournament, Blair said his
mentality has not changed in the
slightest bit.
“We’re going to Little Rock not
for experience, but to go win the
tournament, win a championship
[and] cut down nets,” Blair said.
The Aggie head coach said he en
ters the tournament asking a simple
question: “Why not A&M? Why
not A&M?”
PRO DAY CONTINUED
NFL],” Sumlin said.
Much of the buzz Wednesday cen
tered on one player in particular, Wil
liams, who declared for the NFL a year
early, shocking many Aggie fans.
Williams said the decision was diffi
cult.
“It was very hard. I love my team, I
love my school, Texas A&M,” Williams
said. “It took a lot to make the decision
that I made but, you know, I just prayed
about it and just stuck with my decision
to pursue my dream.”
He said he thinks he has what it takes
to succeed at the pro level.
“I feel like I’m good enough to pursue
my dream,” Williams said. “The NFL is
what I’ve wanted since I was a little kid.”
Like Williams, all of the players that
participated in Pro Day were compet
ing against not only the clock, but each
other. As Kennedy put it, “It’s all about
competition today.” For those who
were not invited to the NFL combine,
like Kennedy, Wednesday was the best
chance for them to show off their skills
to the scouts.
There were 36 representatives from
28 different NFL teams in College Sta
tion Wednesday to get a closer look at
what A&M has to offer.
Unfortunately, due to an ACL injury
sustained in the Aggies’ bowl game this
season, Cedric Ogbuehi was unable to
work out for the scouts on Wednesday.
Ogbuehi — who was projected as a first-
round pick prior to his injury — was in
good spirits, showing support for his fel
low teammates.
“I’m happy for all of [my teammates]
and I’m hoping they do really well to
day”, said Ogbuehi.
Ogbuehi said he will be healed in time
for NFL training camp.
“I’ll be good to go,” he said.
Sumlin said Ogbuehi did enough in
his time at A&M to show what he can
do, insisting that “the video speaks for
itself. ”
Guard Jarvis Harrison also did not
participate in drills, though he weighed
in at 6 foot 4, 327 pounds.
Showers returned to the school at
which his collegiate career started to
help run some drills. He participated
with Malcome Kennedy, Trey Williams,
Cameron Clear and Ben Compton in
passing drills. All of the Aggie receivers
solidified their skills and Compton, who
played primarily offensive line, turned
heads when he caught a deep pass over
his shoulder.
Both Compton and Williams spoke
about the importance of versatility at
the next level. Along with Compton,
Williams played a slew of positions in
his time at A&M. Looking ahead at his
future in the league, Williams said he
hopes to be able to find a role as a spe
cial teams player. However, both guys
made it clear that they will be glad to be
selected to play any position.
Everett recorded the highest vertical
jump, elevating 38 inches off the ground.
Everett (4.49), along with Floyd Raven
Sr. (4.45), recorded sub-4.5-second 40-
yard dash times. Williams, who recorded
a time of 4.49 at the NFL combine, ran
a 4.48 Wednesday.
All 13 now look forward to draft day
on April 30.
