4-star OT Robert Bourdon follows head coach Mike Elko from Duke and signs with Texas A&M

“A kid that we were very familiar with, had committed to coach Cushing and I back at Duke, decided to postpone his signing,” Mike Elko said.

After decommitting from Duke on Jan. 22, 4-star offensive tackle Robert Bourdon followed head coach Mike Elko to College Station as he immediately chose Texas A&M and made the choice official on Wednesday.

“Robbie Bourdon is an offensive lineman from Collierville High School in Collierville, Tennessee,” Elko said at his press conference Wednesday afternoon. “Obviously, a kid that we were very familiar with, had committed to coach Cushing and I back at Duke, decided to postpone his signing in December, we were able to get him out in January for a visit and able to get that one over the line.

“I think he’s an extremely athletic offensive lineman, he’s a lacrosse player, has really good feet, has a really big frame and I think he projects to be a really good offensive tackle for us, so really excited for that.”


Bourdon is 6-foot-6 and 292 pounds. He had 27 total offers, six campus visits and two coach visits. On Feb. 2, Bourdon posted a photo to X of him with Elko, offensive line coach Adam Cushing and associate head coach & running backs coach Trooper Taylor.

The Tennessee native is one of three players signed by Texas A&M on national signing day 2024 along with 5-star athlete Terry Bussey and 4-star wide receiver Ashton Bethel-Roman.

2024 4-Star OT Robert Bourdon has committed to Texas A&M

Texas A&M HC Mike Elko has gained a commitment from former Duke commit and 2024 4-star OT Robert Bourdon.

Boom! Texas A&M and head coach Mike Elko have added another piece to the Aggies’ 2024 recruiting class, as former Duke commit and 2024 four-star offensive tackle Robert Bourdon has flipped to the Aggies, following Elko to College Station after two seasons as the Blue Devil’s head coach.

With Bourdon’s commitment, Elko now has 15 players signed/committed in the 2024 cycle, while five-star athlete Terry Bussey remains the lone wildcard commit before officially signing with a program early next month.

According to 247Sports, Robert Bourdon, who stands at 6-6 and nearly 300 pounds, is currently positioned as the 558th player in the class, the 43rd-ranked offensive tackle, and the 12th-ranked player in Tennessee, heading into his final senior season at Collierville (TN) High School.

After visiting College Station on Jan. 19, Bourdon had remained in contact with Elko and, most importantly, new Aggies offensive line coach Adam Cushing, who served in the same position at Duke last season. Bourdon joins four-star tackles Blake Ivy and Ashton Funk to an already deep tackle depth chart ahead of the 2024 season.
