@NCATFootball x #AggiePride
The Aggies lost a great kicker in Andrew Brown but the special teams remain in good hands. Field position will be critical this year. Expect some booming kicks this year. #ncat#ayantee#247Sports

Team/School Fun Fact - The number 3 might just define NC A&Ts success.
NC A&T will competed in 3 different conferences over 4 seasons due to realignment. The MEAC in 2020, the Big South in 2021/2022, and the CAA since 2023.
NC A&T had a player taken in the NFL Draft in 3 straight seasons from 2017 to 2019.
Tarik Cohen: 2017 - RB Round 4 Pick 12. Brandon Parker: 2018 - OL Round 3 Pick 1. Darryl Johnson Jr.: 2019 - DE Round 7 Pick 11.
NC A&T defeated an FBS opponent in 3 straight years. Kent State in 2016, Charlotte in 2017 and East Carolina in 2018.
They also won 3 straight Celebration Bowls in 2017, 2018 & 2019. In total that half decade, winning 4 out of 5 from 2015-2019.
Each member of the Lions’ draft room will be wearing general manager Brad Holmes’ North Carolina A&T college jersey today. It is a nod to Holmes’ upcoming commencement speech at North Carolina A&T’s May 10 graduation.
Last year Detroit’s group donned Dan Campbell’s No. 89 Lions black alternate jersey.
Holmes continues to be a staunch supporter of North Carolina A&T and the HBCU experience.
Great to have some of my college guys back in town this month to train over spring break.
I started working with these guys last year when I made the transition to coaching and they’ve trusted the process.
Looking forward to watching them have breakout seasons.
