Texas A&M’s 7th-ranked 2025 recruiting class is impressive on paper, as first-year head coach Mike Elko has landed 22 commitments in the cycle, led by 5-star quarterback Husan Longstreet, who is talented enough to contend for the starting spot as soon as he steps on campus.
However, while 4-star WR Kelshaun Johnson and 3-star WR Tristan Norman are talented receiver prospects, this season’s struggles in the passing game illustrate an issue concerning receiver depth and talent level that needs to be fixed, either in recruiting or through the transfer portal.
After A&M’s 38-23 win over LSU late last month, Elko and his staff landed four commitments in the 2026 cycle, all weekend visitors, while 2025 4-star wide receiver and former Florida State commit CJ Wiley also visited during the LSU game, as the Aggies made significant headway over the last couple of weeks.
However, Wiley, a native of Alpharetta, Georgia, has decided to stay home, committing to the Georgia Bulldogs on Wednesday night amid the speculation that the Aggies could reach the finish line.
While this isn’t a significant blow, it does mean that Elko and his staff will need to hit the transfer portal hard this offseason at the wide receiver position or flip another 2025 prospect.
According to 247Sports, Wiley is currently positioned as the 134th-ranked prospect in the 2025 class, the 18th-ranked wide receiver, and the 19th-ranked prospect in Georgia.
