Less than a week away from National Signing Day, new Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher and his staff are making state-wide and cross-country trips to try and secure the Aggies' 2018 class.

The A&M coaches are not the only ones making last-minute pitches at recruits, however.

Former A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel has hopped on the recruiting trail lately selling his alma mater. His most recent target has been four-star safety Leon O'Neal, who is being sought after by the Aggies and Clemson.

Manziel is not the only non-coach making recruiting pitches though, as current players are vying to make O'Neal and others their future teammates. To-be junior linebacker Tyrel Dodson made his case, which Manziel responded to.

A&M has two early enrollees and had eight others sign in its 2018 class and is expected to ink its four remaining commits. The Aggies have around a dozen targets they are still seeking in this recruiting cycle.
