2024 4-Star Edge out of Florida will visit Texas A&M in early October

2024 4-star Edge Solomon Williams has set his visit date to College Station during the Aggies Oct. 7 home matchup with Alabama.

Looking to add a fourth defensive lineman to their 2024 recruiting class, Texas A&M and Head Coach Jimbo Fisher have their sights set on the rising Edge prospect out of Tampa, Florida, four-star Solomon Williams, who recently announced his in-season visit schedule for the fall slate.

Texas A&M joins Oregon, UCF, Ohio State, Alabama, Clemson, and Texas in William’s Top 7 program list.

According to Rivals Recruiting Analyst John Garcia Jr., Williams will make his way to College Station during the weekend of Oct. 7 for his first official visit to Texas A&M, just a few months removed from his unofficial visit on July 29 during the Aggies’ annual recruiting pool party. Later this month, Williams will travel to Eugene for an official visit to Oregon, while a visit to the Texas Longhorns is also in the works.

Williams is currently positioned as the 21st-ranked Edge in the 2024 cycle and the 42nd-ranked player in Florida, according to 247Sports composite. During his 2022 junior season at Carrollwood Day (FL), Williams recorded 61 tackles, 32 tackles for loss, and 15.5 sacks on the year as one of the most dominant pass rushers in the state.

Rivals ranks Texas A&M’s 2024 O-line class as a Top 5 haul

Rivals National Recruiting Analyst John Garcia Jr. ranks Texas A&M’s 2024 O-line class as a Top 5 group in the 2024 cycle

When analyzing Texas A&M’s impressive 2024 recruiting class, which is currently 19 prospects deep, pointing out the positional strengths, ranging from wide receiver with five players, including five-star Cameron Coleman, or offensive line, where Jimbo Fisher and his staff landed four verbals from four-star OT Weston Davis, four-star OT Ashton Funk, three-star IOL Coen Echols, and the cream of the crop, four-star IOL Isendre “Papa” Ahfua.

During the 2022 season, it’s perfectly fair to criticize the sup-par performance of Texas A&M’s offensive line, which dealt with a mix of untimely injuries and poor play due to inexperience. However, with all five starters returning and a wealth of talented depth, the once undependable unit may be a predominant strength in 2023.

This week, Rivals National Recruiting analyst John Garcia Jr. ranked the Top 5 2024 O-line hauls, and outside of Georgia’s usual success in dominating the recruiting trail in the trenches on both sides, O-line blue blood programs, including Ohio State and Michigan joined Tennessee, and of course, Texas A&M’ ever-growing class.

One priority prospect for Aggies remains in the 2024 cycle as four-star OT Blake Ivy, who is set to announce his collegiate destination on Saturday, Aug. 19, at 10:00 a.m., which will stream on Dave Campbells Football YouTube Channel. If Ivy indeed commits to the Aggies, expect a slight bump in the overall team ranking, but most importantly, Head Jimbo Fisher may have found his future starting O-line for the next three to four seasons in just one recruiting class.
