Aggies plan to open spring drills March 22

- Brent Zwerneman

Texas A&M players will get a spring break starting March 19 and a few days later it will be back to the grind for the Aggies in preparatio­n for the 2021 season.

The Aggies will begin spring drills March 22, the first day of school following a shortened spring break, and the annual Maroon & White game will cap practices April 17. The spring game will be held at Kyle Field before a limited-capacity crowd, which typically defines a spring game crowd anyway.

In between, A&M will conduct its annual pro day March 30, where four-year starting quarterbac­k Kellen Mond, a former Reagan star, and others are expected to run through drills for representa­tives from all 32 NFL teams.

In other news, A&M has added four-star receiver Isaiah Sategna to its 2022 recruiting class. Sategna of Fayettevil­le, Ark., on Tuesday became the eighth pledge in coach Jimbo Fisher's fourth full class with the Aggies.

Kansas, Miles part ways: Les Miles is out as Kansas head coach just days after he was placed on administra­tive leave amid sexual misconduct allegation­s from his tenure at LSU.

Kansas announced Miles' departure late Monday night, describing it as a mutual agreement to part ways. Miles has three years left on his original five-year contract with the school that pays him $2.775 million annually through December 2023.

Miles, 67, was 3-18 in two seasons with the Jayhawks. Offensive coordinato­r Mike Debord was named acting head coach.
