2026 4-star CB out of Carrollton (GA) will attend Texas A&M vs. Texas

Texas A&M will host 2026 4-star CB Dorian Barney for a third time this season

No. 20 Texas A&M (8-3, 5-2 SEC) enters the final week of the regular season with everything on the line against the No. 3 Texas Longhorns (10-1, 6-1 SEC). A spot in the SEC Championship game is on the line, and the winner will face Georgia in Atlanta.

While Aggies head coach Mike Elko is focused on the task at hand, this weekend, inside a likely sold-out Kyle Field, also poses a great recruiting opportunity, as it was announced this week that 2026 4-star cornerback Dorian Barney will take his third visit to College Station this season.

Barney, who recently decommitted from Alabama, saw the Aggies play at Auburn during an official visit to the Tigers last week, so it’s fair to say that he’s well aquatinted with what the program has to offer under Elko and defensive coordinator Jay Bateman.

According to 247Sports, Barney is currently positioned as the 66th-ranked prospect in the 2026 cycle, the 9th-ranked cornerback prospect, and the 8th-ranked prospect in Georgia

No. 19 Texas A&M will host No. 3 Texas on Saturday, Nov. 30 at 6:30 pm. CT. The game will air on ABC.

One of the Aggies’ top 2026 cornerback targets will attend Texas A&M vs. Auburn

Texas A&M (8-2, 5-1 SEC) will take on the Auburn Tigers (4-6, 1-5 SEC) in a must-win road test before hosting the Texas Longhorns to end the 2024 regular season. The Aggies need to win out to reach the SEC Tile game and a spot in the College Football Playoff.

On the recruiting trail, recent Alabama decommit and 2026 4-star cornerback Dorian Barney has been on the Aggies’ radar ever since, as the senior officially visited College Station during Texas A&M’s 38-7 win over New Mexico State last weekend.

Coincidentally, the Carrollton, Georgia native will attend Saturday night’s game in Jordan-Hare Stadium for an official visit to Auburn but will also see the Aggies play for the second consecutive weekend.

For Barney, Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko’s development background at the cornerback position is too intriguing to pass up, knowing that Texas A&M’s secondary will only continue to improve year after year with Elko at the helm. However, don’t count out Georgia or Auburn in the final stretch.

According to 247Sports, Barney is currently positioned as the 66th-ranked prospect in the 2026 cycle, the 9th-ranked cornerback prospect, and the 8th-ranked prospect in Georgia

Texas A&M will face Auburn on the road on Saturday, Nov. 23 at 6:30 pm. CT. The game will air on ESPN.

2026 4-star CB out of Carrollton (GA) will visit Texas A&M this weekend

One of Texas A&M’s top 2026 cornerback targets will reportedly visit the Aggies this weekend

Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko received some good news on Sunday during the tail end of the Aggies’ bye week. It has been confirmed that 2026 4-star cornerback Dorian Barney, out of Carrolton, Georgia, has decommitted from Alabama.

While Barney’s commitment to the Tide only lasted six months, Elko and his staff have communicated with the junior defensive back throughout the summer, leading to Sunday’s big news.

The recent recruiting momentum in College Station has certainly caught his eye. According to Rivals’ recruiting insider Sam Spiegelman, Barney will head back to College Station this weekend and attend Texas A&M’s Week 12 home matchup vs. New Mexico on Saturday night.

For Barney, Elko’s development background at the cornerback position is too intriguing to pass up, knowing that Texas A&M’s secondary will only continue to improve year after year with Elko at the helm.

According to 247Sports, Barney is currently positioned as the 66th-ranked prospect in the 2026 cycle, the 9th-ranked cornerback prospect, and the 8th-ranked prospect in Georgia.

One of Texas A&M’s 2026 recruiting targets has decommitted from Alabama

Texas A&M target, 2026 4-star CB Dorian Barney has decommitted from Alabama

Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko received some good news during the tail end of the Aggies’ bye week. It has been confirmed that 2026 4-star cornerback Dorian Barney, out of Carrolton, Georgia, has decommitted from Alabama.

Barney received an offer from Texas A&M in January, and ever since his committing to Alabama, Elko and his staff have stayed in contact, as the interest has been reciprocated. While Barney has yet to fix the Aggies, the recent recruiting momentum in College Station has certainly caught his eye.

After defeating LSU in Week 9, Texas A&M landed four commitments in the 2026 recruiting cycle, culminating with 4-star tight end Xavier Tiller announcing his commitment last Monday.

For Barney, Elko’s development background at the cornerback position is too intriguing to pass up, knowing that Texas A&M’s secondary will only continue to improve year after year with Elko at the helm.

According to 247Sports, Barney is currently positioned as the 66th-ranked prospect in the 2026 cycle, the 9th-ranked cornerback prospect, and the 8th-ranked prospect in Georgia.
