One of the first African-American football players at A&M to make it to the NFL, Pat Thomas left Aggieland to pursue that dream just shy of his degree.

This spring, 43 years later, he continues his journey to graduation.

The first African-American @AggieBaseball player was Houston's Mike Frazier. A four-year letterwinner, Mike was an All-SWC pick as a senior (.375, 13 RBI, 15 SB) and was drafted by the @Pirates in the second round of the @MLB Draft.#BlackHistoryMonth #GigEm pic.twitter.com/Ff5rrcSItr
