Texas A&M’s 2024 recruiting class took several hits in the last two months after four-star offensive tackle Weston Davis flipped his commitment to LSU and four-star wide receiver Dre’lon Miller decommitted on Oct. 17.
After the firing of former head coach Jimbo Fisher, Miller’s collegiate future hangs in the balance. However, he took an unofficial visit during the Aggies’ Oct. 28 home win over South Carolina, and Texas A&M surprisingly remains the favorite to regain his commitment. That will likely depend on who becomes the next head coach, an announcement that could come much sooner than later.
Whoever accepts the position, retaining interim head coach Elijah Robinson, who also serves as the defensive line coach and lead recruiter, is an absolute must. To provide a blueprint for Miller’s playing future, hiring an offensive-minded head coach coupled with a highly competent staff could be enough o reel the Silsbee, Texas, native back in.
Miller is a cheat code on offense, displaying the speed, agility and insane versatility as a kick/punt returner that mirrors senior A&M wide receiver Ainias Smith, who just happened to have his biggest game of the season against the Gamecocks with Dre’lon in attendance.
Behind senior quarterback Jayden Daniels, the LSU Tigers have one of their best offensive seasons since 2019. They have been tenaciously pursuing Miller, who officially visited Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on Nov. 11.
According to 247Sports, Miller is the 66th-ranked prospect, the 14th-ranked wide receiver, and the 12th-ranked player in Texas in the 2024 cycle.
Texas A&M will take on 14th-ranked LSU on Saturday, Nov. 25 at 11 a.m. CT., and ESPN will carry the game.
