COLLEGE STATION, Texas - The Texas A&M football team took part in a spirited workout inside the McFerrin Athletic Complex Thursday afternoon as the Aggies wind down fall camp in preparation for their Sept. 4 season opener against SMU.
On Thursday, several Aggies stood out including senior tailback Cyrus Gray, who had been held out of several practices during fall camp with a minor injury. The DeSoto, Texas, native broke off a pair of long scoring runs during the workout and drew praise from Texas A&M head coach Mike Sherman, who commented on Gray's health as well as the performance of fellow running back, junior Christine Michael.
"He looked 100% to me, as did Christine Michael," Sherman said. "Both of those guys have had really good camps."
Additionally, Sherman spoke post-practice about his team getting back into the routine of game week after the completion of fall camp.
"We worked on SMU today and will work on them again tomorrow," Sherman said. "We'll give them off on Saturday and then workout again on Sunday before giving them off the first day of school. We are already into the SMU mode in preparation. When they come back on Sunday night we'll give them the scouting report, talk to them about it and then go out and practice."
