Amidst the upheaval in Texas A&M’s baseball program, the football program is forging ahead. New head coach Mike Elko has been a beacon of hope this offseason, making significant strides on the recruiting trail. His efforts have already borne fruit, with 14 commitments secured for the 2025 recruiting cycle, promising a bright future for the team.
One of the interesting trends among the program has been Elko’s success in California, as two of the top five players from the state have committed the Aggies, led by five-star quarterback Husan Longstreet out of Corona, California, and four-star cornerback Adonyss Currie out of Lancaster, California.
Already making headway with the top-ranked cornerback prospect in the state, five-star CB Dijon Lee is set to announce his commitment on Friday, June 28, as Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Washington, USC, and Texas A&M remain his finalists. Since May, Lee has taken official visits to nearly every one of his final programs, including Texas A&M, back on June 11.
On Tuesday, it was revealed that Lee will make his announcement live on 247Sports’ YouTube channel at 2:30 ET, as Alabama has now become the favorite to earn his initial commitment.
Standing at 6-4 and 190 pounds, Lee is long, rangy, and instinctual. The elite cornerback prospect looks like a perfect fit in Elko and new defensive coordinator Jay Bateman’s system, possessing all the traits necessary to become a lockdown corner on the boundary.
According to 247Sports Composite, Lee is currently positioned as the 22nd-ranked prospect in the class, the 4th-ranked cornerback, and the No. 1-ranked prospect in California.
