Texas A&M’s 5th-ranked 2024 recruiting class features a stellar wide receiver haul led by five-star Cameron Coleman, one of the more dynamic offensive playmakers the cycle offers. However, after four-star WR Drelon Miller de-committed earlier this month after taking a visit to LSU, his now probably future destination.
Leaving an open spot, one of the remaining uncommitted five-star prospects, wide receiver and Saint Louis, Missouri native Ryan Wingo, was nearing his collegiate decision on Wednesday, Oct. 25, choosing between Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Tennessee, Miami, and yes, Texas A&M. While Missouri remained the predominate favorite, the Longhorns’ last minute momentum made things very interesting down the stretch.
Coming out of left field, Wingo excitedly committed to Texas in front of his family and friends, knowing that under head coach and offensive guru Steve Sarkisian, his future development is in good hands. For Missouri, 2024 five-star DL Williams Nwaneri remains their prized prospect, while missing out on another local blue-chip player has to hurt.

Landing Wingo was always a long shot for the Aggies, especially after securing Cameron Coleman, but the fact that Jimbo Fisher and his staff have continued to influence top-tier talent at the position. Well, prepare for 2024, as Texas A&M will host the Longhorns on the gridiron for the first time in over a decade.
Congratulations Ryan!
