Texas A&M’s 2024 recruiting class may not be finished adding prospects just yet, as it has been revealed that former Arkansas 4-star wide receiver commit Ashton Bethel-Romas has reportedly been released from his LOI (letter of intent) with the program, placing the Aggies back in contention.
According to TexAgs’ Ryan Brauninger, Bethel-Romas had filed his LOI release paperwork in January, separating himself from the Razorbacks last month. While nearly every program that offered the amending playmaker will be in play for his commitment, the Aggies may have the best chance as things currently stand.
After taking an official visit to College Station late last month, Aggies head coach Mike Elko and his staff, specifically new wide receivers coach and leader recruiter Holmon Wiggins, have kept in contact with Bethel-Roman during the entire process as the Missouri City, Texas pipeline, which includes current Miami Dolphins star running back De’Von Achane remains stronger than ever.
While 2024 5-star athlete Terry Bussey is reportedly down to signing with Texas A&M or LSU, Texas A&M’s 2024 cycle still needs another wide receiver prospect to pair with 3-star WR Ernest Campbell.
Ft Bend Ridge Point WR Ashton Bethel-Roman was released from his LOI with Arkansas late last week. He had filed that paperwork in late December.
He took an OV to Texas A&M just a couple weeks before.
