Daingerfield's Shayvion Hatten has changed his verbal commitment from T.C.U. to Texas A&M after visiting College Station over the weekend.
Hatten, 6-5, 265, 5.0, was recruited as an offensive tackle at T.C.U., but the Aggies want him as a defensive end in their 3-4 alignment.
Hatten is the second Daingerfield offensive lineman to commit to play defensive line in the Big 12, joining teammate Donald Bryant who committed to Baylor last month.
