These are the high-profile 2024 football prospects visiting Texas A&M this weekend

Texas A&M is set for a busy month as they welcome close to a double-digit number of recruiting visits, beginning with this weekend’s list of high-profile 2024 football prospects.

While the summer months may separate fans from meaningful college football, it doesn’t negate exciting news to stop flowing in. As we officially turn the page to June, the 2024 recruiting cycle enters the exciting stage of campus visits.

Texas A&M and head coach Jimbo Fisher are set for a busy month as the Maroon and White is nearing double-digit visiting numbers from a handful of top football prospects. The coming weekend of June 2 to June 4 will see some of the best recruits on both the offensive and side 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 progressing through their decision process, at least one current commit of a rival program is making his way to Aggieland in the coming days, offering an opportunity for the Maroon and White to help him reconsider his decision.

Here’s the list of the top 2024 football prospects visiting Texas A&M this weekend (June 2-4 ):

LSU offers versatile offensive line prospect

Makai Saina plays right tackle in high school but likely projects as a guard at the next level.

[autotag]Makai Saina[/autotag] is a 6-foot-5, 285-pound offensive lineman from the 2024 recruiting class that is from Arlington, Texas, where he plays for Martin High School. The Martin Warriors finished the 2022 season with a 10-2 record after losing to Lewisville in the second round of the 6A D1 state playoffs.

Film Analysis: Saina plays at right tackle for the Warriors, but is projected to slide inside to guard at the next level. He has great form as a lineman with good hand placement and quick feet. He’s athletic enough to make a pull block if that is what his assignment is. It will be interesting to see his development.
