Texas A&M’s 8-4 finish during head coach Mike Elko’s first season is disappointing, especially after starting 7-1 and atop the SEC standings. However, star running back Le’Veon Moss’s season-ending injury threw a wrench in the offensive game plan and wrecked it consistently.
While the entire coaching staff can be blamed, OC Collin Klein’s confusing playing calling in the red zone combined with Elko’s decision to go on two fourth downs instead of attempting field goals and trusting the defense. Allowing just 17 points against Texas, these decisions will likely haunt both coaches heading into the 2025 offseason.
However, while finding on-field positives is hard, some key recruiting news from one of the program’s high-profile visitors in the 2025 recruiting class could be headed to College Station next season after visiting and attending Saturday night’s game.
After decommitting from USC, 2025 5-star wide receiver Jerome Myles is now predicted to land and sign with Texas A&M during Early Signing Day on Wednesday, Dec. 4, according to On3 recruiting analyst Steve Wiltfong.
This is huge news for a roster in dire need of elite playmakers at the wide receiver position, especially after losing Evan Stewart to Oregon nearly a year ago. If Myles signs with the Aggies on Wednesday, expect him to climb the depth chart in his first season.
According to On3’s Industry rankings, Myles is currently positioned as the 24th-ranked prospect in the 2025 cycle, the 4th-ranked wide receiver prospect, and the No. 1-ranked prospect in Utah.
