NEW COMMIT: Texas A&M University has received its second in-state verbal commitment for its growing Class of 2027 from Ellis Fox of Lubbock, Texas.
She will join fellow in-state standout Emma Guglielmello in College Station in the fall of 2023.
Regarding her commitment, she said:
“I am beyond humbled to announce my verbal commitment to further my academic and athletic career at Texas A&M University! First I’d like to acknowledge that none of this would be possible without the unfailing glory and grace of God, I owe it all to him. Secondly, I’d like to thank my friends, family, coaches, and teachers. Y’all have blessed me beyond measure and helped push and encourage me to be the best version of myself! I cannot wait for the next 4 years under Coach Bultman, Coach Maxvill, and the amazing staff in Aggieland! GIG’EM #roughtoughrealstufftexasa&m”
