This story has been updated to reflect the trophy is primarily housed at the Alamo but made its way from San Antonio to the governor's office in Austin on Wednesday.

COLLEGE STATION -- Did you know that Texas A&M and South Carolina play for a trophy?

Neither did the Aggies.

According to Texas A&M's game notes, though, the winner of Saturday's game between the No. 22 Aggies and South Carolina will claim the Bonham Trophy.

"The who? What's that?" junior running back Trayveon Williams said.

The mysterious trophy is named after James Bonham, a native South Carolinan who died during the Battle of the Alamo in 1836. Bonham attended South Carolina College (now the University of South Carolina) before he joined the fight during the Texas Revolution.

The Bonham Trophy is awarded to the winner of the Texas A&M-South Carolina football game and is exchanged between the states' governors. The trophy, normally housed at the Alamo, this week is residing in Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's office in Austin.

The trophy originated when the schools began playing annually as permanent cross-division SEC opponents in 2014.

"I had no clue there was a trophy," said fifth-year senior linebacker Otaro Alaka, whose first career game at A&M was in 2014 against South Carolina in Columbia. "There's a trophy for who wins? There is no trophy for who wins. I've never seen a trophy."

But A&M is 4-0 all-time against the Gamecocks. You haven't seen the trophy?

"We have never held up a trophy after we've won, and we've won all of them," Alaka said. "I can honestly say I have never seen that trophy."

A lead might be found from A&M defensive ends coach Terry Price, who posted a picture of the trophy on his personal Instagram following the Aggies' first win over the Gamecocks in 2014. However, A&M assistants are not made available for comment.

Maybe someone on the Gamecocks' side has some information.

"That's the first I've heard of it," South Carolina coach Will Muschamp said during Wednesday's SEC teleconference. "What's the name of the trophy?"

When someone finally gave Muschamp the answer to the question, he asked if Bonham was a character in the movie The Alamo, saying, "That was a hell of a movie."

But has he seen the trophy?

"Well, hell, we ain't won, so we ain't got it over here," Muschamp said. "I can tell you that."

Maybe that's because the seemingly mysterious trophy is exchanged between the governors of Texas and South Carolina.

Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Texas A&M Class of 1972 and current U.S. Secretary of Energy, created the trophy in the summer of 2014 with then-South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. Perry and Haley commissioned Cleburne-based sculptor Jeff Gottfried to design the trophy, which features Bonham on a bucking horse.

On Thursday, a spokesperson from Texas General Land Office confirmed the whereabouts of the seeming mythical trophy. The trophy is kept at a secure, undisclosed location at the Alamo in San Antonio and has not left since arriving there in 2014 because South Carolina has yet to defeat A&M.

Wednesday night, the trophy made its way to Austin to the Texas General Land Office. Texas land commissioner George P. Bush checked out the trophy Thursday morning and the bronze prize has since made its way Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's office to be transported to South Carolina for Saturday's game.

"Excited to send the #BonhamTrophy back to South Carolina for the Gamecocks/Aggies showdown this weekend. I may be a Longhorn, but hoping for an Aggie victory this weekend. Thanks to Nikki Haley and Secretary Perry for starting this tradition in 2014! #gigem?" Bush said in an Instagram post this morning after he took a photo with the trophy.

However, no details regarding a potential exchange between governors could be provided since A&M has won all four meetings since the trophy was created.

Although neither A&M or South Carolina seemed to know nothing about the trophy, at least it's not just a hoax.

"I did not know that," A&M sophomore wide receiver Roshauud Paul said of the trophy. "That's pretty interesting though."
