It’s never too take to look ahead toward the 2026 recruiting cycle, especially at the quarterback position, as prospects have progressed rapidly before their junior year in high school. For Texas A&M, one signal-caller has taken an interest in the Maroon and White.
On Wednesday, 2026, quarterback Julien Lewis, who had yet to receive a star-based designation, is by all accounts a five-star prospect by nearly every facet of the grade. Standing at 6-1 and 185 pounds, Lewis, who’s unsurprisingly received interest from nearly every blue-blood program in the country, has released his first Top 8 program list, including Alabama, Georgia, Oregon, USC, LSU, Ohio State, Florida State, and Texas A&M.

During a recent On3 Recruiting Analyst Hayes Fawcett interview, Lewis revealed his opinion of every school in his top group. With a litany of official visits in his future, he provided his initial insight on what Texas A&M brings as a football program clearly on the rise:
“It’s a place that I can see myself playing. They care about football there probably more than anywhere else. So I know I’d always be supported.”
Lastly, just so you know how incredibly talented Julien Lewis is at such a young age, in his 2022 freshman season at Carrollton High School (GA), Lewis threw for a mind-boggling 4,118 yards and 48 touchdowns with a 65% completion rating and a 121.9 quarterback rating. Think he can’t eclipse these numbers? He has three high school seasons left, folks.
