Everything is on the line for Texas A&M (8-3, 5-2 SEC) this weekend, as the Aggies will host No. 3 Texas (10-1, 6-1 SEC) for a spot in the SEC Championship game and a chance at an automatic bid to the College Football Playoff.
Even before Texas A&M’s quadruple overtime loss to Auburn, the return of the Lone Star Showdown always posed as a critical recruiting weekend for both teams, especially the Aggies inside a completely sold-out Kyle Field.
Within the 2026 recruiting class, Rivals’ recruiting insider Landyn Rosow reported that 5-star Edge Anthony “Tank Jones” will attend the game for his third visit this season.
Under head coach Mike Elko, consistent success on the field, especially from a pass rush perspective, requires building through the offensive and defensive trenches. Already building a close relationship with Jones during the season, a win against the Longhorns could potentially seal the deal with the Alabama native.
According to 247Sports, Jones is currently positioned as the 23rd-ranked prospect in the 2026 cycle, the 4th-ranked Edge, and the 2nd-ranked prospect in Alabama.
No. 19 Texas A&M will host No. 3 Texas on Saturday, Nov. 30 at 6:30 pm. CT. The game will air on ABC.
