The Texas A&M Aggies have been rebuilding their secondary through the NCAA Transfer Portal so far this offseason under new head coach Mike Elko. 

And on Saturday evening, they might have landed their biggest get yet, with former Florida cornerback Jaydon Hill committing to the Aggies. 

He will have one year of eligibility remaining.

Hill has played in 36 games in four seasons with the Gators, making 28 tackles, five tackles for loss 2.5 sacks 16 passes defended and two interceptions

“Really my relationship with the defensive staff," Hill told On3. "Coach Crimedawg and coach Ish are two of the best in business, plus coach Elko defenses have always had success. It made too much sense to make that move. I was actually coached by coach Crimedawg (McGriff) back in 2021 until I tore my ACL and missed the season during fall camp.”

Hill now becomes the fourth commitment to the Aggies in the last three days, and the third defensive back joining safety Marcus Ratcliffe, safety Donovan Saunders and receiver Jabre Barber.

The Aggies also have a commitment from former Kansas State Corner Will Lee, and from one of the top pass rushers in the portal in Nic Scourton. 

The Aggies now have the No. 3 ranked transfer class in the country, per 247Sports. On3, however, has a very different view of the Aggies transfer class, ranking it No. 66 in the country.

Hill has played in 36 games in four seasons with the Gators, making 28 tackles, five tackles for loss 2.5 sacks 16 passes defended and two interceptions.
