Suppose you’ve read anything we’ve published in the past two weeks. In that case, you’re clearing up to date with Texas A&M’s 2024 recruiting hot streak, as Jimbo Fisher and his incredible staff have added eight players since Thursday, June 22, while most recently gaining by far the most talented player in the 2024 cycle (in my humble opinion), as five-star wide receiver Cameron Coleman, nicknamed “Mini-Megatron” by some, committed to the Maroon and White excitedly, on Tuesday, July 4, just hours before fireworks covered the night sky all across America.
After his stunning commitment, which, as I’ve personally dubbed “the Coleman effect,” Texas A&M now sits as the 9th-ranked class in 247Sports’ updated 2024 team rankings, and as a gentle reminder to those who still aren’t paying attention, they aren’t done yet; not even close.
In a detailed interview with 247Sports’ National Recruiting Director Steve Wiltfong, Coleman discussed what went into his decision during the final days leading up to his announcement after his official campus visit on June 16 while focusing on his relationship with Aggies’ WR coach Dameyune Craig and newly minted offensive coordinator, Bobby Petrino.
“Really, the last time I went up there, I felt comfortable, and it was the place I wanted to be,” Coleman stated.
“My relationship with Coach (Dameyune) Craig was the tightest out of the bunch. They have a new offensive coordinator Coach Bobby (Petrino), and the Aggie network outside of life after football you can get a job after football, and it was a place I felt comfortable with.”
As we all know, results on the field are all that matter and will directly affect the outcome of Texas A&M’s 2024 class, but for Coleman, the Aggies’ 2022 season was clearly a result of a youthful roster finding their way, leading to what should be a very bright future.
“Last year they had a lot of freshmen starting,” Coleman stated. “It’s hard to win with all these freshmen in the SEC. Now they have experience going across the board, and they have more people coming in to help win the National Championship.”
Cameron Coleman is an absolute stud, and his recruiting ranking reflects his incredible play on the gridiron. Ranked as the No.11 player in the class, the No.3-ranked wide receiver, and the No.1-ranked player in Alabama, the sky is truly the limit for the man who shares my name. Gig ’em, Cameron!
