Ahead of Texas A&M’s 2024 season opener vs. Notre Dame this Saturday night, it has been reported by 247Sports’ Tom Loy that Mike Elko and his staff will host over 100 prospects in the 2025, 2026, and 2027 recruiting classes, which will now include 2026 4-star cornerback Jermaine Bishop.
Under Elko’s defensive scheme, the cornerback position will continue to build from a talent perspective every recruiting cycle, already locking down four defensive back commitments in the 2025 recruiting class, looking to add more future depth.
Set to enter his junior season at Willis HS (TX), Bishop fits the bill for Elko in terms of size, standing at 5-11 while possessing the speed and position versatility necessary to succeed at the next level.
An all-around athlete, Bishop also plays basketball and participates in track and field, adding to his athletic profile. A two-way player, Bishop also played wide receiver during his last two seasons, recording 1,414 yards and 17 touchdowns through the air and 37 tackles and five interceptions at cornerback.
