Well, when it rains, it pours. Texas A&M has now taken two significant hits to their still-elite 2024 recruiting, first losing 2024 four-star wide receiver Drelon Miller. On Thursday night, it was reported by On3’s Hayes Fawcett that highly coveted 2024 five-star offensive tackle Weston Davis, who committed to the Aggies in June, has flipped his commitment to the LSU Tigers.
While the specifics of his decision are currently unknown, the Beaumont (TX) native was an overwhelming favorite to land with the Tigers before surprisingly announcing his initial commitment to Texas A&M, so from that narrow perspective, maybe this isn’t as surprising as it looks on the surface.
However, Aggies O-line coach Steve Adazzio has been an absolute disaster this season, and I do not doubt that this had some or even significant influence on Davis’ final decision.
After taking an official visit to LSU on June 23rd, just three days before committing to A&M, who knows how much influence head coach Brian Kelly could have had leading up to today’s news?

Again, I’m not going to sugarcoat this: this one stings. Losing one of the best offensive tackle prospects in the country has become an unwanted custom in College Station under Fisher, and unless the Aggies turn things around in the second half of the 2023 campaign, things could get worse.
According to On3, Davis is currently positioned as the 18th player in the class, the 3rd-ranked offensive tackle, and the 4th-ranked player in Texas, already in the thick of his 2023 senior season at Beaumont (TX).
