The July recruiting push for Texas A&M amid the dead period is off to a fast start, as Jimbo Fisher and his staff secured two more high-priority 2024 prospects in the form of four-star wide receiver Jaylan Hornsby on Saturday, July 1, and five-star wide receiver Cameron Coleman, who excitingly announced his commitment on Tuesday, July 4, officially launching the Aggies into the Top 10 2024 team rankings in nearly every recruiting outlet.
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, and commitment decisions are potentially altered.
Earlier this week, 247Sports’ Texas A&M insider Andrew Hattersley reported that 2025 four-star linebacker Elijah Barnes will visit the Aggies later this month, likely attending the pool party. According to 247Sports, Barnes is currently positioned as the 91st-ranked player in the 2024 cycle, the 14th-ranked linebacker, and the 10th-ranked player in Texas.
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. Texas A&M offered Barnes in April of last year, and while no team currently leads his recruiting battle, the Aggies have a shot at solidifying their place with Barnes as soon as he sets foot in College Station.
