Most people think the biggest task facing Mike Sherman is the passing game. That's true, but the part of the passing game that needs instant help is the OL, where the Aggies lose four starters, and the fifth (Yemi Babalola) is dealing with off-field issues. Not to worry, as A&M signed nearly a two-deep field of offensive linemen. Of the new recruits, the trio of Chris Lathrop, Brian Thomas and Jeff Hyde were the most heavily recruited, but Josh Ayers also has the potential to get on the field in '08. He had a huge senior year after playing mostly tight end as a junior at Euless Trinity. Speaking of tight ends, Norman North's (Okla.) K.J. Williams, who was recruited as an athlete, should be playing tight end for the Aggies and will add some depth at that position.
