Texas A&M boasts the top-ranked football recruiting class in the country, and Kentucky just hired away its director of on-campus recruiting.

According to John Brice of FootballScoop, Kentucky Football head coach Mark Stoops is bringing Danielle Braswell on to the staff as the executive director of recruiting for the Wildcats. A graduate of Auburn, Braswell spent two seasons as the assistant director of on-campus recruiting at Arkansas before spending this past season as the on-campus recruiting coordinator for Texas A&M under head coach Jimbo Fisher.

Texas A&M’s football program has been one of the best when it comes to taking advantage of recruiting in the new name, image, and likeness era of college athletics. According to the On3 Consensus, the Aggies hauled in the top-ranked class in 2022, securing nine five-stars, five more than the next highest schools, Alabama and Georgia.

According to Texas A&M’s website, here is how they describe Braswell’s role: “plans and organizes all logistics associated with official and unofficial visits by prospective student-athletes and their guests, and directs all game day recruiting efforts.”

Edit: Texas A&M has already removed Braswell from its website’s directory.

Kentucky has been steadily improving its recruiting efforts under Stoops, with the 2022 class ranked No. 14 overall, but bringing in Braswell should help take the ‘Cats to a new level.

Braswell graduated from Auburn in 2012 and served as the athletics department’s recruiting operations assistant from 2012-14. She was also an athletic recruiter’s advisor for the Tigers during the 2015 season.

On Sunday, Braswell posted a “Thank you, Aggieland.” picture to Twitter.

How blessed am I to have something so special, that makes saying goodbye so hard. 🤍

Thank you, Aggieland. pic.twitter.com/dTrUK4d5h5
