How do I get into research as a sophomore

I'm a bio major and have no idea how to get into research at TAMU.

I know there are a lot of opportunities like URS, but it's only for students with 60+ credit hours, so I can't apply yet.

I've tried looking for professors to reach out to, but I'm having a hard time finding labs that align with what I want to do in the future. I'm totally open to joining a lab that's outside of my interests because I know research experience is valuable. At the same time, I feel a little guilty reaching out to professors if I'm not genuinely interested in their specific research. I don't want it to seem like I'm just using their lab as a stepping stone.

Would yall recommend taking the BIOL 291/491 course? How did yall get your first research position? Did you just email professors whose work seemed somewhat interesting, or is there a better way to find opportunities? Any advice would be appreciated!
