2025 4-star DB and Aggie commit recently visited Texas A&M

Texas A&M recently hosted one of its top 2025 cornerback commits this past weekend

Every weekend this summer has been busy for Texas A&M head football coach Mike Elko, who has hosted a continuous list of 2025 and 2026, and even some 2027 prospects, making significant headway in every cycle.

In the past two weeks, two more prospects have committed to the Aggies’ 2025 cycle, led by four-star tight end Kiotti Armstrong on June 14 and three-star wide receiver Tristan Norman, who announced his intentions on Monday morning.

Focused on making headway with every position group, four of A&M’s 15 commits in the 2025 class are cornerbacks, including four-star CB Deyijhon Pettaway, who possesses the length and versatility to play safety at the next level. As the brother of current Aggies linebacker Daymion Sanford, committing to the program was a no-brainer from a family perspective.

Just this past weekend, Pettaway, one of the Aggies’ promising recruits, made a visit to College Station. This was one of his first campus appearances since he committed back in late January. The 5-10, 175-pound defender, who hails from Paetow HS in Katy, Texas, is gearing up for his final senior season.

During his 2023 junior season, Pettaway was all over the field, recording 80 tackles, four pass breakups, and an interception on the year. According to 247Sports Composite, Pettaway is currently positioned as the 170th-ranked prospect in the cycle, the 15th-ranked safety prospect, and the 29th-ranked prospect in Texas.

What Texas A&M’s 2025 defensive back class looks like after Cobey Sellers commitment

Texas A&M’s 2025 defensive back class is shaping up to be special after four-star CB Cobey Seller’s commitment

It’s no surprise that once Mike Elko became Texas A&M Football’s new head coach last November, fixing the cornerback room as soon as the thick of the offseason arrived was paramount, adding eight defensive backs, including five cornerbacks, through the transfer portal.

With an eye on preparing for the future, Elko and his staff have already landed three defensive back prospects in the 2025 recruiting class. The group is led by four-star cornerback Cobey Sellers out of Pearland, Texas. Like Aggies’ star safety Bryce Anderson, Sellers played quarterback throughout his career at Shadow Creek HS.

Sellers joins four-star cornerback/safety Deyjhon Pettaway and speedy three-star cornerback Jamar Beal-Gaines, all of whom possess the length, speed, and versatility required to thrive in Elko and new A&M defensive coordinator Jay Bateman’s system. Here is how they rank out in the 2025 cycle, according to 247Sports:

  • Four-star CB Cobey Sellers: 124th-ranked prospect, 14th-ranked cornerback prospect, 20th-ranked prospect in Texas.
  • Four-star CB/S Deyjhon Pettaway: 241st-ranked prospect, 23rd-ranked safety prospect, 36th-ranked prospect in Texas.
  • Four-star CB Jamar Beal-Goines: 68th-ranked cornerback prospect,  5th-ranked prospect in Arizona (ran sub-4.3 40-yard dash)

With a busy recruiting summer ahead, Texas A&M will likely add several more additions to the future defensive backfield.
