The Blanket is back!
With all eyes on high school recruiting and the transfer portal, it is equally important to keep your best veterans from entering the NFL Draft. Texas A&M received massive news on that front Tuesday afternoon as cornerback Will Lee III (AKA The Blanket) announced he will be staying in Aggieland for his senior season.
Let’s run it back

The former Kansas State Wildcat was one of many players who transferred into the A&M program last offseason, but Lee was easily among the most impactful. He led the team with 8 passes defended while also hauling in 2 interceptions (returning both for touchdowns).
There are sure to be more players that forego the NFL to return for another season, but you could make a case that none are more important than Will Lee. Aggie fans should be ecstatic to get another season of No. 26 in Maroon and White.
