Texas A&M’s 2024 recruiting class is simply en fuego. As the SEC Media Days wrapped up its always enjoyable festivities this week, the focus has shifted to the Aggies fall football practice schedule, as the 2023 college football season is now 42 days away.
However, as we at Aggies Wire have continued to remind you, recruiting never stops. With the recruiting dead period set to end on July 25, The Aggie’s list for their annual recruiting pool party/barbeque continues to grow; with the festivities set for the last weekend of July, a host of priority 2024 and 2025 prospects will eat, swim, and relax while bonds are made. Commitment decisions are potentially altered, and according to TexAgs recruiting analyst Jason Howell, 2025 four-star linebacker Elijah Barnes will make his way to College Station on July 29.
According to 247Sports, Barnes is currently positioned as the 90th-ranked player in the 2024 cycle, the 14th-ranked linebacker, and the 9th-ranked player in Texas., and was recently named the Texas District 11-6A Defensive Newcomer of the Year after his 2022 sophomore season.
Entering his junior season at Skyline High School in Dallas, Texas, Barnes’ 6-3 210-pound frame, coupled with his speed and vision from his time as a running back, provided added versatility at the Mike and outside linebacker positions.

Jimbo Fisher offered Barnes in April of last year. After finally gaining some recruiting momentum at the linebacker postion in the 2024 cycle, Barnes’ potential addition to start the Aggies 2025 class with a bang, the bonds mentioned above made during the pool party are truly the building blocks to build a lasting relationship ahead of his eventual commitment date.
