2024 OF/SS Terrence Kiel Jr. solidifies his commitment to Texas A&M baseball

Terrence Kiel Jr. will stay committed to Texas A&M and new head baseball coach Michael Earley

Texas A&M baseball head coach Michael Earley has already made a significant impact on the recruiting trail after Jim Schlossnagle’s sudden departure to head the Texas Longhorns baseball program, starting with flipping two 2024 and 2025 commits from Schlossnagle’s new program this week.

After Earley’s hiring, more than half of the players who previously entered the transfer portal will be back with the team for the 2025 season. While several key 2024 prospects will follow Schlossnagle to the 40 acres, one of the Aggies’ top prospects in the cycle, outfielder/shortstop Terrence Kiel Jr., who could also end up playing for the football team, will stay committed to the program.

Kiel, who is the son of the late Texas A&M football standout out safety Terrence Kiel, is one of the most athletic prospects in the cycle, with the skill set to play in the infield and outfield, while his collegiate position could be as a utility player to start.

Terrence Kiel Jr. has been committed to Texas A&M since 2022.

Texas A&M Football offers Aggie legacy, Terrence Kiel Jr.

Texas A&M has offered Terrence Kiel Jr., son of the late Aggies safety, Terrence Kiel, who played for the Aggies from 1999-2002.

One of the best parts of recruiting for any sport is the legacy aspect, especially concerning Texas A&M. Throughout the decades, several former A&M athletes have experienced the joy of watching their sons or daughters don the Maroon and White and carry on the Aggie legacy.

On Saturday, head coach Jimbo Fisher officially fielded an offer to current Aggie baseball commit Terrence Kiel Jr., son of former Texas A&M safety (199-2002) Terrence Kiel, who tragically lost his life in a car accident in 2008 after three NFL seasons with the then San Diego Chargers.

As a duel athlete, currently more known for his skills on the diamond, he committed to Jim Schlossnagle in August of last year as a shortstop and outfielder. Still, at 5-11 and 170 pounds, Kiel Jr. is also a two-way athlete on the gridiron, excelling at wide receiver and cornerback at Pace Academy in Atlanta, Georgia.

Recruited by Aggies defensive backs coach TJ Rushing for 2022 junior season, Kiel Jr. recorded over 1,600 total yards on offense, seven pass breakups, and one interception on defense, with the ability to excel at either position due to his size, speed, and versatility as an athlete.

Congratulations, Terrence! Gig ‘Em!
