Smyrna’s Ikenna Okeke (2) signed with Texas A&M Wednesday.
Smyrna senior Ikenna Okeke, No. 9 on The Tennessean’s 2015 Dandy Dozen, signed a letter of intent to play football at Texas A&M on Wednesday.
Okeke, a 6-foot-2, 200-pound three-star defensive back, earned Region 2-6A co-MVP honors a season ago after registering 74 tackles and a pair of interceptions for the Class 6A quarterfinalist Bulldogs. He also added 849 yards receiving and a pair of scores offensively.
Okeke, a Tennessean All-Midstate first-teamer, verbally committed to Texas A&M on Nov. 25, choosing the Aggies over scholarship offers from more than 15 Division I programs, including Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, Cincinnati, Georgia Tech and Missouri.
