Ex-Baylor LB Commit Taurean York Heading to Texas A&M
Former Baylor Bears linebacker Commit Tauren York has found a new home, committing to the Texas A&M Aggies on Monday night.
York announced his decision on Twitter.
you could give a man a fish and let him eat for a day, or you could teach a man how to fish and he can eat forever 🎣🤠 #GigEm #Sg 🏴☠️ @CoachSantucci @CoachDurkin @AlexGarwig pic.twitter.com/IXxUEVy0xI

York, a 6-foot, 217-pound linebacker registered 435 tackles (47 for loss) and 15 sacks. He added 11 forced fumbles with six recoveries as a four-year starter for Temple.
Since his de-commitment on Sunday, Florida and Wisconsin also reportedly reached out to York, with the Temple (TX) product ultimately deciding on the Aggies after a recent visit.
During his original recruitment, York received offers from Colorado, Ole Miss, SMU, North Texas, Louisiana, and Tulsa, among others.
The Aggies have two linebackers committed for the class of 2023. Daymion Sanford from Katy (TX) Paetow, and Rylan Kennedy from Mansfield (TX) Lake Ridge, after losing top prospect Anthony Hill from Denton (TX) Ryan, who de-committed from A&M a few weeks ago and is now pledged to the Texas Longhorns.
Kennedy and Sanford, however, are both considered edge rushers more than traditional linebackers.
York now fills that void and takes the place of Hill as the new man in the middle for the Aggies 2023 class.
Meanwhile, for the Bears, the York de-commitment left them with just one linebacker pledge, in Clear Falls (League City, TX) prospect, Corey Kelly.
