Texas A&M and Oregon are reportedly neck and neck for two 5-star 2025 safety prospects

Texas A&M is in a close battle with the Oregon Ducks for two of the top safety prospects in the 2025 recruiting class

With Mike Elko now running things, Texas A&M’s defense should be a top-20-ranked unit for as long as he’s in charge. In the secondary, expect a lot of height and speed, which is already a significant portion of the Aggies’  2024 corner and safety group.

Within Texas A&M’s 2025 recruiting class, Elko has secured 19 commitments, shoring up the future of the offensive line while adding 5-star quarterback Husan Longstreet and 4-star wide receiver Kelshaun Johnson, who became the program’s latest commitment on Tuesday evening.

However, outside of the four cornerback prospects, Elko and his staff are still looking to make two safety additions. According to On3’s Steve Wiltfong, the Aggies are reportedly in a heated battle with the red-hot Oregon Ducks for 2025 5-star safeties Jonah Williams and Trey McNutt.

Williams, currently positioned as the 7th-ranked player in the class, is still predicted to land with Texas A&M after taking an official visit to College Station on June 7 but later visited Oregon on June 21. McNutt, the No. 1-ranked safety prospect in the class, also visited the Aggies on June 13 while heading to Eugene for an OV on June 21.

Right now, I expect Texas A&M to land one of the two prospects, leading toward Jonah Williams due to his close relationship with the coaching staff, while McNutt is slightly leaning toward the Ducks at this time.

Trey McNutt will announce his commitment on Friday, July 19, while Jonah Williams has not scheduled his announcement.

Texas A&M has receives another prediction to land elite 2025 5-star athlete

Texas A&M is now a favorite to land elite 2025 athlete Jonah Williams, who is visiting College Station this weekend

This weekend is a busy one for Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko, as the Aggies are currently hosting a talented list of 2025, 2026, and even several 2027 recruiting prospects, including elite 2025 five-star athlete Jonah Williams out of Galveston, Texas.

For those who have been out of the loop, since Elko took over the program back in late November, Williams’ relationship with the new coaching staff has continued to grow, resulting in several visits and a prediction from On3’s Steve Wiltfong for Williams to commit to Texas A&M over 30 other programs.

Amid his official visit this weekend, a potential Williams to Aggieland commitment has become more realistic, as 247Sports National Analyst Mike Roach submitted his own official prediction for the Aggies to land the versatile athlete, as an announcement could come sooner than later.

At an impressive 6-3 and 203 pounds, Williams’ size and versatility are comparable to those of New York Giants safety linebacker Isaiah Simmons. But on the field, he truly shines, demonstrating his productivity and potential.

During his junior season in 2023, he played wide receiver on offense and safety/linebacker on defense, showcasing his duel-threat ability, while recording 474 receiving yards and eight touchdowns, 58 tackles, four interceptions (three returned for touchdowns), four tackles for loss, and four punt return touchdowns on special teams. Yes, he can do it all.

As we all know, a picture speaks 1,000 words, and credit to Rivals’ Landyn Rosow for sharing a photo of starting Texas A&M linebacker Taurean York, safety Bryce Anderson, and 2025 four-star cornerback and Aggie commit Cobey Sellers relaxing by the water with Williams and the potential future teammates bond.

According to 247Sports, Williams is currently positioned as the 7th-ranked prospect in the 2025 recruiting class, the No. 1-ranked linebacker prospect, and the 3rd-ranked prospect in Texas.
