Former Texas A&M wide receiver introduced as member of 2025 Hall of Fame class
Former Texas A&M wide receiver introduced as member of 2025 Hall of Fame class A legendary career deserves the ultimate recognition, and that sentiment could not be more true for the legendary former Texas A&M wide receiver who still holds the program's career records for receiving yards, receptions and 100-yard receiving games. Ryan Swope, who played for the Aggies from 2009-2012, was announced as a member of the Lettermen's Association Hall of Fame Class of 2025 on Wednesday. The Austin, Texas, native joins Aggie legends Rod Bernstine, Dan Campbell and Rick Rickman in this year's class of football legends. Here is the official announcement via Texas A&M football's X account: When comparing Swope's collegiate career to other Aggie wideouts, he reigns as one of the best ever to lace up his cleats and suit up in the Maroon and White in Bryan-College Station. He was a two-time all-conference second-team selection in 2011 and 2012, while he helped lead the program to four consecutive bowl game appearances. Swope hauled in 255 receptions for 3,177 yards, including 14 games with 100 receiving yards or more, all of which remain unbroken records. During his junior year in 2011, Swope caught the most passes in a single season (89) in Texas A&M history, which produced the most yards in a single season at the time. The Aggie legend also remains in the top four with 24 receiving touchdowns. In an interview with TexAgs, Swope discussed his time playing on the gridiron at Kyle Field and what this induction means for the former speedy wideout. "I'm super excited. It's a privilege to be in such a great group with a lot of great people that represented the Maroon & White and celebrate on September 5." As his career at Texas A&M came to an incredible close, Swope entered the 2013 NFL Draft, where he was selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the sixth round. That achievement made him the first Aggie selected in the draft for almost 10 years. For Swope, his passion and desire to play college football all began by simply listening to the advice of those around him. He gave credit to his family, friends and former teammates who helped him get to the pinnacle of Texas A&M history. "I think back then, and hopefully still today, it starts at your roots. At a young age, I give credit to my mom and dad, the way they raised me. I was fortunate enough to have a competitive younger brother. We held each other accountable. Louie, my brother, and those people had instilled the work ethic in my life. I met great people along the way. It's how I played the game in high school and didn't go out of bounds. Once I stepped foot on Kyle Field, I tried to earhole every guy I saw." The 47th annual Burgess Banquet will be held on Friday, September 5, inside the Ford Hall of Champions, according to the Texas A&M athletics press release on this year's class.
