Texas A&M has its eyes set on dominating the 2024 recruiting cycle, already landing four prospects including highly sought-after four-star defensive end Dealyn Evans, plenty of talented at premium positions have either made their way to College Station for a visit or are planning on making the trek very soon.
On Wednesday, 2024 4-star wide receiver Mario Craver released his Top 10 program list as the electric speedster has narrowed down his options to Alabama, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Lousiville, Miami, Auburn, Ole Miss, Georgia Tech, and last but not least, Texas A&M.
Craver is entering his senior at Clay-Chalkville high school in Pinson, Alabama, and according to 247Sports, is ranked as the 39th wide receiver in the 2024 class, and 14th ranked player in the state of Alabama. Listed at 5-11, and 165 lbs, Craver has plenty of room to add some healthy mass to an otherwise thin frame once he takes on a collegiate nutrition/lifting plan, but as one of the quickest players in the class, he constantly uses his size to his advantage.

In a scouting report from 247Sports analyst Cooper Petagna, Craver fits what  head coach Jimbo Fisher expects in a future slot receiver/punt returner in the SEC:
Efficient mover that possesses outstanding route tempo off the line of scrimmage and in and out of breaks. Shows the ability to separate with excellent short area quickness, suddenness and short area change of direction of ability. Can create mismatches out of the slot with not only his quickness but his speed as he possesses a natural ability to change gears in and out of breaks. Possesses good play speed with the ability to separate from defenders in the open field. Recorded a 10.74 in the 100 meters in April of 2022 as his play speed matches his timed speed.
Appears to display natural pass catching ability at the catch point and flashes excellent make you miss and elusiveness in the open field. Has the ability to create as a runner and has shown the ability to consistently find hidden yardage with after catch elusiveness and the ability to play through contact.
Dynamic undersized athlete that checks multiple boxes with verified speed, explosiveness and home run hitting ability to overcompensate for lack of size. Projects as a potential immediate contributor and a Power Five multi-year starter out of the slot at the next level. Will need a year to add some bulk to his frame but has the ability to thrive sooner rather than later in the right offensive system.
Currently favored to land with the Florida Gators, it’s still very early in his recruiting journey, granting Fisher and his staff plenty of time to work their magic.
