Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko held a press conference on Wednesday evening to recap what had been an eventful first day of the early signing period for Class of 2024 recruits.
Elko was a couple of minutes late to the 5 p.m. CT gathering because he was glued to his phone, tuned in on Instagram Live. To say his time was well spent is an understatement.
Elko and thousands of others tuned in to hear 4-star wide receiver Izaiah Williams announce his decision to flip his commitment from Florida and sign with Texas A&M.

“What really stood out to me with Texas A&M is the vision they have,” Williams told Hayes Fawcett of On3 Sports. “I feel my skill set best aligns with their program to be successful. They have key components that will help develop me not only as a player but as a person as well.”
Williams is listed at 6-foot and 175 pounds from Carrollwood Day High School in Zephyrhills, Fla. Zephyrhills is a suburb of Tampa and Izaiah is 1-of-2 prospects from the Tampa area with the Williams last name to sign with the Aggies on Wednesday, joining 4-star edge rusher Solomon Williams.
Izaiah originally committed to the Gators program Cinco de Mayo but received an official offer from Texas A&M on Oct. 20. The rest, as they say, is history.
