For the third and fourth times this cycle, Texas A&M has taken an early-entry hit to its roster.
Thursday evening, running back Trayveon Williams announced on Twitter that he will be foregoing his remaining eligibility in order to declare for the 2019 NFL Draft. A short time later on the same social media site, teammate and center Erik McCoy announced the same decision.
Let Go Let GOD 🙏🏽

Williams’ 1,760 yards this year, which included a 236-yard performance in the Gator Bowl win over NC State, set a single-season school record, eclipsing the old standard of 1,692 yards set by Darren Lewis in 1988. He finishes his Aggies career with 3,615 yards and 34 touchdowns.
McCoy, who came to College Station as a two-star 2015 recruit, started every game each of the past three seasons for the Aggies.
Williams and McCoy join tight end Jace Sternberger (HERE) and linebacker Tyrel Dodson as Aggies who have declared early for the 2019 draft.
