COLLEGE STATION, Texas--The Texas A&M men's basketball team will hold walk-on tryouts next month for students looking to compete for a spot on the roster.
Any student planning to try out must attend a mandatory meeting on Friday, Oct. 1 at 3:30 p.m. in the lobby of the Cox-McFerrin Center for Aggie Basketball. Participants must be full-time Texas A&M students and have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0. Tryouts are subsequently scheduled for Oct. 6 and 7.
In order to participate, students need to have proof of a sports physical that has been completed in the past six months as well as results from a sickle cell blood test. Both tests can be performed at the University Health Center or by a family doctor. Students are required to have their doctor fill out the attached form and bring it, along with blood test results, to the walk-on try out meeting on Oct. 1.
For any questions regarding walk-on tryouts, please contact the Texas A&M basketball office at (979) 845-4531.
