2025 4-star linebacker out of Bonita (CA) has placed Texas A&M in his Top 3

Texas A&M is now a finalist for standout 2025 linebacker Noah Mikhail

With Texas A&M linebacker Taurean York ready to enter his all-important sophomore season, Mike Elko and his staff are looking toward the future at one of the more important positions on defense.

This offseason, the Aggies’ ever-growing 2025 recruiting class has already landed a commitment from four-star LB Kelvion Riggins. Several high-ranking prospects at the position, including four-star Riley Pettijohn and four-star Noah Mikhail, are still on the market.

Looking ahead, the Aggies are eagerly awaiting the official visit of Riley Pettijohn on June 21, and the visit of Noah Mikhail, scheduled for this weekend on June 7. Mikhail has also set a commitment date, adding to the excitement, which is marked for Sunday, June 30.

A high-priority prospect, Elko and defensive coordinator Jay Bateman have traveled to California on multiple occasions this offseason to visit Mikhail at Bonita HS. On Tuesday, Mikhail clarified his future collegiate options, releasing his top-three program list, which includes USC, Oregon, and Texas A&M.

On the field, Mikhail is a tackling machine, racking up 166 tackles, one sack, 15 tackles for loss, three pass breakups, and an interception on the year during his 2023 junior season at Bonita HS in La Verne, California.

According to 247Sports, Mikhail is currently positioned as the 83rd-ranked prospect in the 2025 class, the 10th-ranked linebacker, and the 5th-ranked prospect in California.

2025 4-Star LB out out La Verne (CA) will reportedly visit Texas A&M next month

Texas A&M will reportedly host 2025 4-star linebacker Noah Mikhail in late March amid the Aggies’ spring football season.

Under head football coach Mike Elko, Texas A&M’s 2025 recruiting class is looking to grow in the coming months, already adding multiple defensive prospects, including 4-star linebacker Kelvion Riggins and 4-star cornerback Deyjhon Pettaway.

During his two seasons as Duke’s head coach, Elko recruited current star Aggies linebacker Taurean York, knowing he would quickly become one of the more underrated prospects. Bringing the same recruiting philosophy to College Station, Texas A&M will reportedly host 2025 4-star LB Noah Mikhail, whom Elko visited earlier this month.

According to 247Sports Composite, Mikhail is currently positioned as the 48th-ranked player in the 2025 cycle, the 5th-ranked linebacker, and the 5th-ranked player in California.

Set to enter his senior season at Bonita HS in La Verne, California, Mikhail recorded 166 tackles (98 solo tackles), 15 tackles for loss, a sack, and two interceptions on defense. Offensively, Mikhail netted 363 rushing yards, eight touchdowns, and 455 receiving yards and five touchdowns through the air in 2023.

I’m looking to add at least one or two more linebacker prospects in the class; Mikhail would be a perfect fit in Elko and new defensive coordinator Jay Bateman’s defensive attack, possessing the speed, instincts, and tackling ability to excel as either a linebacker or safety at the next level.

Before heading to College Station on March 21, Mikhail will take consecutive weekend trips to Alabama (March 8) and Oregon (March 15).

Texas A&M HC Mike Elko recently visited 2025 4-Star LB out out La Verne (CA)

Texas A&M HC Mike Elko is looking to continue adding more linebackers to the 2025 class, recently visiting 2025 4-star LB Noah Mikhail.

Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko has been the hardest working man in College Station this year, taking recruiting visit after recruiting visit, which has continued into February, as the Aggies’ 2025 recruiting class looks to grow tenfold before spring football begins next month.

This week, Elko has already visited several 2025 prospects out of California, including standout 4-star cornerback Chuck McDonald and 4-star linebacker Noah Mikhail out of La Verne, California.

Already landing 4-star linebacker Kelvion Riggins last weekend, Elko is looking to acquire as much talent as possible at the position for the future. Heavily pursued by USC, Mikhail, who stands at 6-3 and 205 pounds, is among the top defensive athletes in the 2025 cycle.

Possessing the speed, instincts, and tackling ability to excel as either a linebacker or safety at the next level, Mikhail has also played on offense as a running back and wide receiver throughout high school.

During his 2023 junior season at Bonita HS, Mikhail recorded 166 tackles (98 solo tackles), 15 tackles for loss, a sack, and two interceptions on defense. Offensively, Mikhail netted 363 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns, combined with 455 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns through the air.

According to 247Sports Composite, Mikhail is currently positioned as the 48th-ranked player in the 2025 cycle, the 5th-ranked linebacker, and the 5th-ranked player in California.
