Texas A&M’s 2026 recruiting class skyrocketed in the 247Sports class rankings less than 24 hours after the Aggies defeated LSU 38-23 behind quarterback Marcel Reed’s second-half surge, as nearly 50 prospects in the 2025, 2026, and 2027 recruiting class were in attendance.
Thanks to the post-game momentum, first-year head coach Mike Elko’s incredible job on the recruiting trail led to landing three consecutive commitments on Sunday afternoon, as 4-star wide receiver Aaron Gregory, 5-star defensive lineman Jordan Carer, and 4-star linebacker Samu Moala announced their intentions just hours apart from each other.
After the said announcements, the Aggies 2026 recruiting class, now seven commitments deep, rose multiple spots all the way to No. 2 in the class rankings, just below the Oregon Ducks, who have all but dominated the recruiting trail due to the program’s rumored “unlimited” NIL fund.
Here are the top 10 247Sports class rankings:
- Oregon Ducks (7 commits)
- Texas A&M (7 commits)
- Florida State (6 commits)
- USC (6 commits)
- Penn State (6 commits)
- Auburn (5 commits)
- Tennessee (5 commits)
- South Carolina (5 commits)
- LSU (5 commits)
- Texas (3 commits)
One of the more interesting aspects of the Aggies’ current 2026 class is the position diversity, which includes an Edge rusher (Jordan Carter), a cornerback (Ryan Gilbert), a safety (Markel Ford), a quarterback (Helaman Casuga), a wide receiver (Aaron Gregory), a linebacker (Samu Moala), and a future nose tackle (Trashawn Ruffin).
