In the midst of news reporting that the Alabama Crimson Tide had extended head coach Rob Vaughnon Tuesday night, it was also reported that a fellow SEC baseball program also took a look at the head man in Tuscaloosa as well.
The report came from D1Baseball’s Kendall Rogers, who reported Tuesday night that Vaughn was one-of-three names that the Texas A&M Aggies took a hard look at behind the scenes.
Texas A&M is one-of-two SEC programs making coaching changes this offseason, as the Aggies recently parted ways with former head coach Michael Earley following a disappointing 30-26 overall season that included an 11-19 mark in SEC play.
Vaughn is coming off his second season at Alabamaafter joining the program from Maryland, and has since led the Crimson Tide to a 74-42 overall record that features a 29-31 record in SEC play.
The 2025 season was also Vaughn’s best yet at Alabama, leading the Crimson Tide to a second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance at 41-18 overall (16-14 in SEC).
His teammate, wide receiver Quentin Burrell, is also generating five-star buzz. It’s tough for an interior defensive lineman to reach that status but if someone can do it, it’ll be the 6-foot-3, 305-pounder out of Chicago. His blend of size, speed and power makes him a major force along the line. His recruitment is just heating up and will be hotly contested.
The long-awaited official visit to Ohio State is happening this weekend for the four-star running back from Ohio. Akih’s recruitment has gotten quieter after a huge winter but he’s one of the best backs in the country this cycle. Once Ohio State turned up the heat it became very difficult for Miamiand others to continue pushing for his pledge.
