Devante Mays, a 5-11, 225-pound running back from Livingston, Texas, who played for Blinn College in Brenham, Texas, committed to the Aggies on Tuesday.

Mays rushed 57 times for 557 yards and three touchdowns in six games for the Buccaneers this season. In high school he played for the Livingston track and powerlifting teams. He started his college career at Tyler Junior College before transferring to Blinn.

He is a big, physical downhill running back who is going to give the Aggies a big threat up the middle.

Mays is the first, and probably the only, running back the Aggies are expected to sign in the 2015 class.
