Texas A&M fans greeted Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth with cheers when he made a pregame appearance at Kyle Field before the Aggies faced Kentucky on Saturday. Hegseth joined Gov. Greg Abbott and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, each introduced individually. Hegseth, 46, previously addressed Texas A&M's Corps of Cadets, praising the university for its strength and resolve.
