Here are the 2024 football prospects visiting Texas A&M the weekend of June 9

The summer of official visits continues to roll along as Texas A&M will welcome a handful of high-profile prospects from the 2024 cycle this weekend.

With the summer season having officially kicked off it can only mean one thing: the top prospects of the 2024 cycle will descend upon various campuses for official visits. As we officially turn the page to the second weekend of June, the 2024 recruiting cycle will only continue to heat up from here.

Texas A&M and head coach Jimbo Fisher’s busy month of June continues to move along as the Maroon and White welcome close to double-digit visits from a handful of top football prospects. The coming weekend of June 9 will see some of the best recruits on both sides of the ball get a preview of Aggieland, with the hope that they see College Station as their next home for the future.

While a handful of this weekend’s visitors are still taking their time through the decision process, there are at least two current commits making their way to Aggieland.

Here’s the list of the top 2024 football prospects visiting Texas A&M this weekend, June 9:

Talented Texas OL sets official visit with LSU

Texas and Texas A&M remain the favorites for Blake Ivy, but LSU will hope to change that.

The Tigers are going into the Houston area to try to steal an elite offensive lineman from the in-state Texas Longhorns and Texas A&M Aggies.

Four-star League City (Tex.) Clear Springs prospect [autotag]Blake Ivy[/autotag] has set an official visit with LSU the weekend of June 23, according to On3. Ivy ranks as the No. 95 prospect and No. 6 offensive tackle in the class per 247Sports, though On3 has him a bit lower and classifies him as an interior lineman.

Regardless of which position he’s going to play at the next level, it may take some work if LSU is going to land him. The Longhorns and Aggies seem to be the favorites right now, though the Tigers don’t sit much further behind, per On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine.

He’ll visit TAMU this weekend, with Texas set to host him on June 16. LSU will have the advantage of hosting the final visit, and it will need to seize that opportunity to remain in the race for him.

Texas A&M is in a recruiting battle with Texas for 2024 4-Star OT Blake Ivy

Texas A&M and Texas are currently the primary contenders for 2024 4-Star Offensive tackle, Blake Ivy

Even though you’ll have to wait until the 2024 college football season to finally watch the reincarnation of the Lone Star Showdown between Texas A&M and Texas, both programs are having their own little battle on the recruiting field, vying to a commitment from ascending 2024 offensive tackle Blake Ivy. Ivy will reportedly make visits to Texas A&M, Texas, and LSU in the spring and summer.

Due to his extremely impressive wingspan (over 7 ft), Ivy is the modern prototype at the offensive tackle position due to the unbelievably athletic edge rushers dominating today’s game at the college and NFL level, Ivy’s 6-4, 285lb frame is just what the doctor ordered for any SEC program going against some of the top pass rushers every Saturday.

Ivy is currently ranked as the No. 185 recruit in the country for 2024, the No. 14 ranked offensive tackle in the country, and the No. 37 recruit from the state of Texas according to Rivals.

National Recruiting Analyst Nick Harris recently detailed Ivy’s workout at the Under Armour event in Dallas, Texas last week, noting his improvement in multiple O-line drills, especially in the run game. Switching to his present recruiting journey, Ivy revealed that both Texas A&M and Texas are the two programs recruiting him the hardest, first stating that his relationship with Texas O-line coach Kyle Flood is something he values the most while detailing why Texas A&M’s staff stood out more than anything else during his recent Jan, 28th unofficial visit.

“They’re straight-forward,” Ivy stated. “They won’t hide anything and you’ll get what you get with them all.”

As each program will continue to push for Ivy’s commitment in the coming months, every contending program is on equal footing, though the Aggies and Longhorns may be the only ones left standing just weeks before Ivy is set to make a decision.

LSU offers 2024 4-star Texas offensive lineman

The Tigers have extended an offer to blue-chip offensive lineman Blake Ivy.

[autotag]Blake Ivy[/autotag] is a 2024 6-foot-4, 275-pound offensive lineman from League City, Texas, where he plays for Clear Springs High School. The Clear Springs Chargers finished the 2022 season 8-4 with a loss to Atascocita in the second round of the playoffs. Currently, there are no crystal ball projections for Ivy and there is no clear favorite per on3.

Film Analysis: Ivy starts at right tackle for the Chargers and in the short film that he has, you can tell he is a physical blocker. He loves to work up to the second level in run blocking and in pass blocking he has great feet allowing him to block really fast edge rushers better.
