Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko has his own type of cornerback prospect in mind going back to his time as the Aggies’ defensive coordinator from 2017-2021. Looking ahead to the 2025 recruiting cycle, Elko and his staff have offered four-star CB Chuck McDonald out of Mater Dei (CA).
With 14 players signed from the 2024 cycle, Elko and his staff now have the opportunity to really sell their image of the program and get back to the Aggie roots that were seemingly lost under now-former head coach Jimbo Fisher.
With plenty of talent in the 2025 cycle, McDonald, who is currently positioned as the 21st-ranked cornerback and the 13th-ranked player in California, is coming off two unofficial visits to College Station on March 4 and Sept. 16 and has developed a new relationship with Mike Elko since his hiring in late December.
