A&M-Commerce for visual communication degree and possibly football

DS20 is taking his second year of computer animation and digital media in high school and is very interested in this for college. He is also interested in playing football, which would most likely be as a walk-on (at least to start with). In doing our research, we just found out about Texas A&M-Commerce and it looks like a strong contender. We haven’t visited yet, so will try to get that scheduled soon. I like the smaller enrollment size and the smaller town environment.

I know a lot of the discussion on this forum is about transferring to A&M, which he would not be interested in, so anyone with a four-year student at A&M-Commerce have any thoughts for us?
