Jordan Pope Joins Texas A&M | Aggies Basketball News

Jordan Pope, the proven scorer and clutch performer who averaged over 13 points per game for Texas, is headed to Texas A&M — thanks to a new NCAA rule allowing some athletes an extra year of eligibility. Despite graduating, Pope qualifies under the “5-for-5” provision, backed by a court ruling, clearing his path to Aggieland. Known for his three-point shooting and big-game moments — including multiple double-digit outings against A&M — Pope brings SEC experience and resilience, having played through a foot injury. With coach Bucky McMillan looking to bolster his roster, Pope’s arrival promises immediate impact as a seasoned guard who fits the system perfectly. The NCAA’s stance on extended eligibility remains fluid, but for now, Pope’s move to A&M is official. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
