2 Texas A&M 2025 commits skyrocket in On3’s rankings update

Texas A&M’s 2025 recruiting class now features two of the highest ranked defenders

Texas A&M’s 2025 recruiting class is defensively dominated, which isn’t surprising under head coach Mike Elko, whose elite defensive background has garnered interest from nearly every top-ranked D-line and secondary prospect in the country.

After losing 5-star quarterback Husan Longstreet to the USC Trojans, Texas A&M’s 2025 cycle is now ranked 10th nationally, according to On3. Monday’s class rankings update saw two of the Aggies’ commits, including 4-star Edge Marco Jones and 4-star cornerback Jamar Beal-Goines.

Beal-Goines, who is by far the most underrated commit in the class, has risen from 198th to 62nd and is now firmly a 4-star prospect, while Marco Jones is just five spots higher at 57th, rocketing up from 172nd in On3’s class rankings.

In today’s college football landscape, these rankings are even more important, knowing that players like Jones and Beal-Goines will need to see the field as soon as their first season, knowing that the talent level will hopefully match the play on the field.

2025 4-star Edge out of Danville (CA) describes his relationship with Texas A&M

Texas A&M is clearly in the running for 2025 4-star Edge Marco Jones out of Danville, California

One of the top defensive prospects in the 2025 recruiting class has narrowed his options heading into the summer. Four-star Edge Marco Jones will make three consecutive official visits to Michigan, Texas, and Texas A&M this summer.

This week, Jones sat down with Wolverines Wire Managing Editor Isaiah Hole to discuss where things stand with all three programs. Aggies head coach Mike Elko and several staff members, including defensive line coach Tony Jerod-Eddie and Assistant Director of S&C Brad Minter, have made significant strides with Jones this offseason.

“Coach Minter and Coach Tony Jerod-Eddie, those two guys are like scientists. They really know their stuff. They’ve been recruiting me really hard and I feel like I have a really good relationship with them as well. And I feel like it’s easy to talk to them – football and baseball, everything like that. They also have a really good baseball program as well.”

As you can tell from the quote alone, Jones is a highly versatile athlete with potential MLB potential on the diamond if he pursues baseball full-time, noting what Texas A&M offers at the collegiate level. So far, Elko’s 2025 recruiting class has only one defensive line commitment: four-star DL Landon Rink.

According to 247Sports, Jones is currently positioned as the 122nd-ranked prospect in the cycle, the 14th-ranked Edge, and the 11th-ranked prospect in California.

Standing at 6-5 and 230 pounds, Jones recorded 166 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 15 tackles for loss, four pass breakups, three forced fumbles, and three interceptions, including two returned for touchdowns during his 2023 junior season at San Ramon Valley HS.
