Texas A&M’s 2025 wide receiver room is built on speed and potential

Texas A&M’s 2025 WR room is as deep as it’s been in years

Texas A&M has landed five commitments from the transfer portal, led by the newest addition of former Mississippi State wide receiver Mario Cramer, who is coming off an impressive freshman season with the Bulldogs.

On Sunday, former five-star and Texas Tech wide receiver Micah Hudson announced his commitment to the program, filling out what looks like the best WR room Texas A&M has had under both Jimbo Fisher and Mike Elko, even though both new additions don’t bring in substantial on-field production.

While Hudson and Cramer will immediately compete for starting spots, the return of incoming senior Noah Thomas and sophomore Terry Bussey look like the 1-2 options on paper. At the same time, it’s important to note that five-star freshman WR Jerome Myles will not be present during the spring football season.

However, incoming sophomores Ashton Bethel-Roman and Izaiah Williams are names to watch after briefly showing off their skills during the 38-0 w win over New Mexico State. Speedster Ernest Campbell looks like the forgotten man on the roster after not seeing the field this season.

Lastly, Jerome Myles is joined by two of the faster receivers in the 2025 class. Kelshaun Johnson and TK Norman were risers toward the end of their recruitment, bringing immediate depth to a stacked rotation.

Compared to last season, OC Collin Klein’s focus on creating mismatches in the passing game should see more success with the added speed and athleticism that will pair well with the run game and set up play-action shot-downs field.

Mario Craver continues to be the name to watch. During his freshman season, he averaged 21 yards per catch, including 54, 46, and 72-yard receptions, consistently displaying his deep speed.

Incoming redshirt sophomore quarterback Marcel Reed has a lot of work ahead of him to improve after an up-and-down first season, but with these new additions to the receiving corps, Reed has plenty to work with to improve significantly next season.

Here is the current wide receiver depth chart in his current form:

  1. Noah Thomas (4-star prospect)
  2. Terry Bussey (5-star prospect)
  3. Micah Hudson (5-star prospect)
  4. Mario Craver (4-star prospect)
  5. Jerome Myles (5-star prospect)
  6. Ashton Bethel-Roman (4-star prospect)
  7. Izaiah Williams (4-star prospect)
  8. Kelshaun Johnson (4-star prospect)
  9. Ernest Johnson (4-star prospect)
  10. TK Norman (3-star prospect)

Is Texas A&M QB Marcel Reed a potential Heisman candidate in 2025?

Texas A&M QB Marcel Reed has a chance to take complete control of the offense in 2025

Texas A&M’s 2024 season didn’t live up to the mid-season expectations after the Aggies stood at 7-1 and 5-0 in SEC play, but after the loss of star running back Le’Veon Moss, the offense sputtered and never looked the same.

Despite the late-season quarterback transition to redshirt freshman Marcel Reed, progress was evident. Reed led the Aggies to a perfect 3-0 record, concluding his inaugural season with a 4-3 overall record.

Statistically, Reed completed 61% of his passes for 1,572 yards and 12 touchdowns while running for 501 yards and six touchdowns, living up to his dual-threat billing in several games. While OC Collin Klein endured scrutiny for poor playcalling toward the end of the year, it’s assumed that he will fit the offense to Reed’s skillset even more so in 2025.

However, Reed’s struggles in the passing game were evident in the season finale loss to Texas, throwing for just 146 yards and an interception against the Longhorn’s elite secondary. Still, Reed’s first entire season was just the start of what’s to come for a player with all the traits to turn into a star signal caller.

Gaining healthy mass is crucial for Reed to maximize his potential this offseason. However, Coach Mike Elko needs to bring in playmakers at wide receiver and tight end from the transfer portal to complement the returning and incoming players, especially five-star WR Jerome Myles.

Suppose we’re discussing Reed as a Heisman Trophy candidate. In that case, he’ll need borderline elite blocking and a true No. 1 wide receiver, which could be Myles as soon as the youngster steps on campus. However, the realistic option looks like former Texas Tech wideout Micah Hudson, who committed to the Aggies on Sunday night.

Reed’s confidence and work ethic match on-field talent, which should garner preseason praise. However, expect the media to recognize Reed as something other than the 2025 starter after the Aggies landed veteran QB Jacob Zeno from the portal.

Zeno’s commitment only benefits Reed and the young Aggie quarterback room, providing insurance and barring future injuries. However, if Marcel Reed is going to reach new heights, having a worthy opponent to push him toward his goals and challenge him throughout fall camp is the best path to success.

The bottom line is that Marcel Reed’s speed, elusiveness, and ability to make plays out of structure are why he should at least be considered a Heisman candidate.

Five-star receiver Jerome Myles goes to Texas A&M after USC decommit

Jerome Myles, the receiver who decommitted from USC over the weekend, has committed to Texas A&M as the early signing period starts.

USC’s loss to Notre Dame wasn’t the only defeat that the Trojans suffered over the weekend. On Sunday, the Trojans saw things get worse, as five-star wide receiver Jerome Myles decommitted from USC football. Myles then flipped to Texas A&M on Wednesday as the early signing period began.

The West Jordan, Utah, product had been committed to USC since September. On3 Consensus ranks Myles as the No. 24 overall player and the No. 4 wide receiver in the class of 2025.

Myles was not expected to sign during this week’s early signing period, so the Trojans still have a shot with him. However, Texas A&M became the new leader to land the talented wideout and was able to close the sale.

With the loss of Myles, USC’s 2025 recruiting class fell to 17th in the country, per On3’s rankings. The Trojans also dropped to fifth place in the Big Ten, behind Ohio State, Oregon, Michigan, and Penn State.

College football’s early signing period, the earliest dates when high school recruits can sign with schools, officially began on Wednesday. USC signees are being announced left and right, and we will see how the dust settles when Wednesday ends.

2025 5-star WR and USC commit will visit Texas A&M at the end of the month

One of the top 2025 WR prospects will reportedly attend Texas A&M vs. Texas before National Signing Day

Texas A&M’s critical season finale home matchup vs. Texas will also serve as a great recruiting opportunity for head coach Mike Elko and his staff, as the Aggies are set to host another long list of prospects, which will now include 2025 5-star wide receiver and USC commits Jerome Myles.

With the game set for Saturday, Nov. 30, National Signing Day for the 2025 recruiting class will occur four days later, on Dec. 4, as Myles is still mulling his final decision before putting penn to paper.

This will be the second visit to Texas A&M after attending the Aggies’ 2024 season opening loss vs. Notre Dame, developing a strong relationship with first-year OC Collin Klein.

Standing at an impressive 6’2″ and 205 pounds, Myles brings a wealth of potential to the position.

During said 2023 season, Myles recorded 19 receptions for 486 yards and six touchdowns while averaging an incredible 25 yards per reception.

During Corner Canyon’s appearance and eventual victory in the Utah 6A state championship game, the incoming senior grabbed five receptions for 122 yards and a touchdown.

According to 247Sports, Myles is currently positioned as the 30th-ranked prospect in the 2025 cycle, the 5th-ranked wide receiver prospect, and the No. 1-ranked prospect in Utah.

Who will be the USC Trojans’ next football commit?

The needle might be moving to USC for D-line prospect Floyd Boucard, who decommitted from Oklahoma and is believed to be considering USC and Miami.

While the loss to Michigan was a gut punch, USC did receive some encouraging recruiting news this past week. Many recruiting experts are naming defensive lineman Floyd Boucard as the next commitment for the Trojans.  Boucard recently decommited from Brent Venables at Oklahoma.  Boucard would be an ideal defensive tackle for D’Anton Lynn’s system.

Last week, USC picked up a commitment from 6-foot-2, 210-pound wide receiver from Utah, Jerome Myles. He boasts elite speed with a 10.36 100-meter time in his junior year.  Myles is rated as the No. 30 player in the country, the No. 7 wide receiver, and the No. 1 player in Utah according to the 247Sports rankings.  He possesses superior ball skills, legitimate track speed, and the size to be a difference maker in college with early-round NFL draft pick potential.

USC currently has 18 verbal commits from the class of 2025 which includes: Julian “JuJu” Lewis, Matai Tagoa’i, Romero Ison, Harry Dalton, Trestin Castro, Gus Cordova, Shamar Arnoux, Willi Wascher, Riley Wormley, Hayden Lowe, Elijah Vaikona, Corey Simms, Daune Morris and Tanook Hines.

Floyd Boucard would make a big and splashy new addition for the Trojans.

USC football lands five-star WR Jerome Myles as recruiting picks up steam

There is zero question that USC’s strong start to the 2024 season is leading to improved recruiting results. Let’s see if these positive trends continue.

The USC Trojans are developing real recruiting momentum. Lincoln Riley was able to bring home five-star receiver Jerome Myles on Wednesday. We covered this recruitment over the past several weeks, noting that the arrow was pointing in the right direction for USC as Myles’ commitment date approached:

Draper (Utah) Corner Canyon prospect Jerome Myles has pushed up his announcement date to September 18 and is all set to choose among finalists Texas A&M, USC and Utah. USC has begun to develop some recruiting momentum on the defensive side of the ball, but the Trojans still need elite receiver prospects to make their future passing game click. Getting reinforcements on both sides of the ball is part of building the complete roster which can lift USC back to the national championship standard the program expects of itself.

The USC Trojans are now trending as the favorites to land Jerome Myles in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM).

As a junior in six games, Myles has displayed big-play ability, averaging over 25 yards per catch. Myles has 19 receptions, 500 yards and six touchdowns.

There’s no question that USC’s hot start is translating into an improved set of results on the trail. The Trojans will gain even more momentum if they can beat Michigan this coming Saturday.

Five-star USC receiver target Jerome Myles set to commit soon

USC is favored to land a top receiver recruit. The commitment date is September 18.

Draper (Utah) Corner Canyon prospect Jerome Myles has pushed up his announcement date to September 18 and is all set to choose among finalists Texas A&M, USC and Utah. USC has begun to develop some recruiting momentum on the defensive side of the ball, but the Trojans still need elite receiver prospects to make their future passing game click.

On3’s Scout’s Take: “Jerome Myles could have the best size and speed combination in the 2025 cycle. A full year younger than the majority of his peers, Myles has seen a spike in his physical development and athleticism. This spring, he broke a 43-year state record in the 100 meters in his first year running track, ripping off a scintillating wind-legal 10.36 mark at 215 pounds.”

2025 5-star WR out of Draper (UT) will reportedly visit Texas A&M this weekend

2025 5-star WR Jerome Myles is headed to College Station this weekend

Ahead of Texas A&M’s 2024 season opener vs. Notre Dame this Saturday, head coach Mike Elko and his staff will host over 100 prospects within the 2025, 2026, and 2027 recruiting cycles, as 247Sports’ Tom Loy provided the inside scoop on what to expect the weekend.

While one of the listed 2025 visitors, a top-ranked TE prospect, will not be named at this time, it has been revealed that one of the program’s high-priority prospects out of Utah, 5-star wide receiver Jerome Myles, has joined the visitor’s list ahead of his Oct. 30 commitment announcement.

A native of Draper, Utah, Myles is predicted to stay home and land with the Utes, but as we all know, in-season visits once prospects have a chance to see a team in action can change a recruit’s mind once he begins to see how he fits in a coaching staff’s scheme.

Standing at an impressive 6’2″ and 205 pounds, Myles brings a wealth of potential to the position.

During said 2023 season, Myles recorded 19 receptions for 486 yards and six touchdowns while averaging an incredible 25 yards per reception. During Corner Canyon’s appearance and eventual victory in the Utah 6A state championship game, the incoming senior grabbed five receptions for 122 yards and a touchdown.

According to 247Sports, Myles is currently positioned as the 30th-ranked prospect in the 2025 cycle, the 5th-ranked wide receiver prospect, and the No. 1-ranked prospect in Utah.

Myles will choose between Georgia, Ohio State, Utah, South Carolina, and Texas A&M.

Five-star receiver includes USC in top five schools

USC has a chance to land another high-end receiver.

Five-star wide receiver Jerome Myles has made the finalist list for his top schools. That list includes: Georgia, Ohio State, Texas A&M, Utah and USC football. His commitment date will also be in the fall on October 30.

Myles got off to a strong start in his senior campaign on Friday. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound receiver hauled in four receptions for 120 yards and one touchdown, an 80-yard score, in a 70-42 win over American Fork.

Over the past two seasons, Myles has had a great career with 53 catches for 1,185 yards and 14 touchdowns while adding four carries for 34 yards and another score. His quarterback at Corner Canyon this past season was 2026 four-star recruit Helaman Casuga, who also has A&M, USC and Utah among his finalists.

On3’s Scout’s Take: “Jerome Myles could have the best size and speed combination in the 2025 cycle. A full year younger than the majority of his peers, Myles has seen a spike in his physical development and athleticism. This spring, he broke a 43-year state record in the 100 meters in his first year running track, ripping off a scintillating wind-legal 10.36 mark at 215 pounds.”

Myles visited Texas A&M and Utah in June but has yet to visit the other schools on his list.

In the class of 2024, Lincoln Riley added four-star Xavier Jordan and the 2025 class includes verbal commitments from four-star receivers Tanook Hines, Corey Simms and three-star Romero Ison.
