Texas A&M’s 2025 recruiting class isn’t talent-deficient by any means. Still, outside of wide receivers Kelshaun Johnson and Tristan Norman, first-year head coach Mike Elko knows that landing at least one more dynamic receiver prospect is the key to improving the Aggies’ future passing game.
Under first-year OC Collin Klein, the program has already landed commitments from two elite quarterback prospects: 2025 5-star Husan Longstreet and 2026 4-star Helaman Casuga.
This makes it even more vital to provide both signal callers with solid options through the air, which the program has sorely lacked outside of several former players.
On Friday, ahead of Texas A&M’s Week 9 home showdown against 8th-ranked LSU, it was revealed that 2025 4-star wide receiver Jaden Nickens out of Chatsworth, California, has included Texas A&M in his Top 5 program list. The Aggies join Kansas, Oklahoma State, Cal, and Georgia.
A former Oklahoma commit, Nickens is a duel-sport athlete who received Division 1 offers from Auburn, Oklahoma State, and Ole Miss.
According to 247Sports, Nickens is currently positioned as the 30th-ranked wide receiver and 25th-ranked prospect in Oklahoma.
