Things got a lot more interesting this week regarding one of Texas A&M’s high-priority prospects, as 2025 5-star safety Trey McNutt, who was previously slated to announce his commitment on Friday, has reportedly pushed back his announcement until early next month.
His reason behind the delay is currently unknown. Still, based on pure speculation, he could be weighing his options between Oregon and Texas A&M, who remain the favorites among his final five program list.
Reported earlier this week, On3’s Steve Wiltfong noted that Mike Elko and his staff have continued to make a push for McNutt despite Oregon’s slight lead, working off of this summer’s recruting momentum, as Texas A&M’s 2025 recruiting class is currently 19 commitments deep with more to come this fall.
Finally ready to make his final collegiate decision, McNutt announced that he would commit on Saturday, August 3, choosing between Florida, Ohio State, Oregon, USC, and Texas A&M.
On the field, McNutt is one of the top defensive playmakers in the country, recording 61 tackles, two for loss, 12 pass breakups, and a forced fumble on the year while excelling as a wide receiver on offense during his 2023 junior season.
According to 247Sports, McNutt is currently ranked 23rd in the 2025 cycle, the No. 1 safety prospect, and the second-ranked prospect in Ohio.
