The recruiting dead period has lifted, and recruits can continue visiting programs as the summer winds down. At the end of the month, the annual Texas A&M recruiting pool party will take place, featuring a long list of 2025 and 2026 prospects.
As the news regarding who will attend the event continues to trickle out, Rivals insider Landyn Rosow has confirmed that 2026 5-star offensive tackle John Turntine III out of Fort Worth (TX) will attend on the final weekend of July, taking his first visit to Texas A&M since early April.
Standing at 6-5 and nearly 300 pounds, Turntine is one heck of an athlete. He started at left tackle during his 2023 sophomore season at North Crowley HS, consistently exhibiting impressive footwork and hand placement in pass protection. His upfield speed-to-power skillset makes him a future run-blocking aficionado.
Within Texas A&M’s 2025 recruiting class, head coach Mike Elko and O-line coach Adam Cushing have already landed five offensive line commitments, looking to continue the momentum in the 2026 cycle.
According to Rivals, Turntine is currently positioned as the 23rd-ranked prospect, the No. 1-ranked prospect in Texas, and the 6th-ranked offensive tackle in the cycle.
