Watch Texas A&M 2025 4-star LB commit wreak havoc in the backfield

Watch 2025 4-star LB and Aggie commit Kelvion Riggins show off his impressive athleticism

Texas A&M’s 2025 recruiting class is versatile from a talent perspective, as head coach Mike Elko and defensive coordinator Jay Bateman have a vision for a program that is clearly on the rise despite some of the on-field play amid the 2024 season.

One of the class’s first commits, 4-star linebacker Kelvion Riggins, has completely bought into Elko’s vision for the future. He knows that as soon as he steps on campus, he might be too talented to keep off the field. Just a few games into his senior season at Forney HS in Forney, Texas, The speedy backer has continued to make an impact outside his regular off-ball duties.

On Friday, Riggins showed off his speed as a pass rusher. The senior leads his team in pressures while averaging nine tackles per game this season. For every linebacker entering the collegiate ranks, the ability to move around the defensive line and provide pressure in the backfield will only add to each player’s skillset, leading to NFL scouts taking notice.

Kelvion Riggins is currently positioned as the 3rd-ranked inside linebacker prospect, the 36th-ranked regional prospect, and the 26th-ranked prospect in Texas.

2025 4-star safety out of Bushnell (FL) has flipped from Georgia to Texas A&M

Boom! Texas A&M has flipped a former Georgia safety commit in the 2025 cycle!

Boom! Texas A&M’s 2025 recruiting class added one of the top defensive prospects in the cycle on Saturday morning as 4-star safety Rashad Johnson, a former Georgia commit, has flipped his commitment to the Aggies.

Just hours before Texas A&M kicks off week 2 of the 2024 season, hosting McNeese State on Saturday, Johnson, who has been on head coach Mike Elko’s radar since he arrived in College Station, looked like the perfect future fit in Elko and defensive coordinator Jay Bateman’s scheme, while being one of the more versatile athletes in the class.

Standing at 6-2 and 200 pounds, Johnson added nearly 20 pounds of muscle to his frame before the start of his senior season at South Sumter HS. The Florida native has continued to see time at wide receiver and even tight end before transitioning to safety full-time at the next level.

During his 2023 junior season, Johnson recorded 59 tackles, seven pass deflections, six tackles for loss, an interception, and a sack. On offense, Johnson hauled nine receptions, 209 yards, and three touchdowns.

Speed, size, and burst make up Johnson’s trait-based makeup, but it’s his mentality that sets the ascending safety apart from many of his position counterparts.

According to 247Sports, Johnson is currently ranked 24th among safety prospects in the 2025 cycle and 34th in Florida.

Texas A&M offers 2025 4-star Edge out of Houston (TX)

Texas A&M is now the 11th offer for rising pass rusher Tobi Haastrup, who once lived in London, England

Texas A&M’s 2025 recruiting class has a chance to add one of the ascending pass rushers in the cycle, as 4-star Edge Tobi Haastrup has received his 11th offer from the Aggies since arriving in Houston after living in London, England, for most of his life.

Knowing that the 2024 season can be used as a benchmark for future recruiting at every position, junior defensive end duo Nic Scourton and Shemar Stewart are only scratching the surface after last Saturday’s loss to Notre Dame, and visiting prospects are noticing.

Since head coach Mke Elko took over the program, landing Scourton from the transfer portal shows how the long-time defensive coordinator still holds an elite pedigree regarding productive pass rushers.

So far in the 2025 cycle, Elko has landed commitments from four defensive linemen, including 4-star prospects DJ Sanders and Landon Rink, who already look like game-wreckers in their senior seasons.

In his first season at Mayde Creek HS, Haastrup recorded five sacks in his first game. The raw but gifted athlete looks like a player who can easily develop in Elko’s scheme.

According to 247Sports, Haastrup is currently positioned as the 276th-ranked prospect, the 21st-ranked Edge prospect, and the 39th-ranked prospect in Texas.

Texas A&M’s top 2025 QB commit remains confident in the the program’s future

2025 5-star Aggie commit Husan Longstreet remains confident in Texas A&M’s future

Despite Texas A&M’s 2024 season-opening 23-13 loss to Notre Dame on Saturday night, the Aggie’s top 2025 recruiting class commit, 5-star quarterback Husan Longstreet, remains confident in the program’s future during his weekend visit.

Joining over 100 prospects from the 2025, 2026, and 2027 recruiting cycles who descended on College Station, Longstreet’s standing with the program remains paramount. Still, after the poor showing from the Aggie offense on Saturday night, it was fair to worry if any doubt may have entered his mindset.

Again, this is one game under new head coach Mike Elko’s coaching regime, and credit to Longstreet for looking at the bigger picture. The incoming senior signal caller posted on his X account that nothing had changed regarding his Texas A&M commitment.

https://twitter.com/husanlongstreet/status/1830325604740165710?s=61&t=DmTOOXkq2g6SonVFLCYEAw

Currently positioned as the No. 1-ranked prospect in California, according to 247Sports, Longstreet’s live arm, accuracy, and impressive athleticism led to one of the more productive 2023 seasons, throwing for 3,013 yards and 24 touchdowns while rushing for 645 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground.

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.

2025 5-star ATH Jonah Williams has annouced his commitment

Jonah Williams is officially off the board

The Jonah Williams recruiting saga ended on Saturday evening. The 2025 5-star athlete/safety, a Galveston, Texas native, committed to the Texas Longhorns over LSU, USC, Oregon, and Texas A&M.

For those who have been paying attention, Williams, who was previously favored to land with the Aggies after several visits this offseason, took a last-minute unofficial visit to Austin, Texas, on July 25, which completely flipped things on its head.

Even though Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko and his coaching staff were still in contact with Williams up till the night before his commitment, credit to Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian for making the hard sell despite missing out on several 2025 commits this summer, including current 4-star DL and Aggie commit DJ Sanders.

On the field, Jonah Williams is an absolute stud. He recorded 474 receiving yards and eight touchdowns, 58 tackles, four interceptions (three returned for touchdowns), four tackles for loss, and four punt return touchdowns on special teams during his 2023 junior season.

According to 247Sports, Williams is currently positioned as the 7th-ranked prospect in the 2025 recruiting class, the No. 1-ranked linebacker prospect, and the 3rd-ranked prospect in Texas.

Where does Texas A&M stand in the race for 2025 5-star ATH Jonah Williams?

2025 5-star safety Jonah Williams has received a prediction to land with Texas

The race to land a commitment from one of the top defensive prospects in the 2025 recruiting class will end on Saturday, August 24th, as 5-star athlete/safety Jonah Williams will choose between USC, Texas, Oregon, LSU, and Texas A&M after a long summer of visits.

For those “in the know,” Williams’ trajectory has changed throughout the month. Still, after taking a late unofficial visit to the Texas Longhorns on July 25, On3 recruiting analyst Steve Wiltfong has predicted that Williams will land in Austin, Texas, as the rumored momentum from the 40 acres may come to fruition.

However, Williams took to X with an interesting comment regarding Wiltfong’s prediction, stating, “Yay, more predictions..” which could be something or nothing, but this does not mean that Texas A&M is out of the picture before Saturday’s announcement, as Mike Elko has continued to keep in contact with Williams this month.

247Sports recruiting analyst Mike Roach also feels that Texas is slightly in the lead but finished out his recent article with a reminder that Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko and his staff should, in no way, be counted out. However, placing LSU in the mix, three programs are coming down to the wire.

“As of this moment, our best intel leads us to a head-to-head duel between Texas and LSU, with Texas A&M still lurking as a presence.”

Jonah Williams recorded 474 receiving yards and eight touchdowns, 58 tackles, four interceptions (three returned for touchdowns), four tackles for loss, and four punt return touchdowns on special teams during his 2023 junior season.

According to 247Sports, Williams is currently positioned as the 7th-ranked prospect in the 2025 recruiting class, the No. 1-ranked linebacker prospect, and the 3rd-ranked prospect in Texas.

Texas A&M loses out on 2025 5-star OT out of Lewisville (TX)

2025 5-star OT Michael Fasusi has committed to Oklahoma over Texas and Texas A&M.

You can’t win them all on the recruiting trail.

Texas A&M’s valiant effort to land a commitment from 2025 5-star offensive tackle Michael Fasusi fell short on Wednesday afternoon. The Lewisville, Texas native chose the Oklahoma Sooners over the Aggies and the Texas Longhorns.

While Fasusi has immediate starting ability once he steps on campus, Texas A&M’s head coach, Mike Elko, and his staff know that nothing is set in stone until any recruit, including Fasusi, signs on the dotted line, the Aggies’ offensive line haul in the 2025 cycle is impressive enough to suffer this blow.

So far, Elko and O-line coach Adam Cushing have landed five commitments at tackle and guard. The freshmen offensive line class features several future contributors, including offensive tackles Ashton Funk and Blake Ivy, who look like future bookend starters.

From my own point of view, Oklahoma O-line coach Bill Bedenbaugh deserves a ton of credit for landing this commitment, especially after producing back-to-back first-round NFL draft selections in tackles Anton Harrison (Jacksonville) and Tyler Guyton (Dallas).

According to 247Sports, Fasusi is currently positioned as the 27th-ranked prospect in the 2025 cycle, the 5th-ranked offensive tackle prospect, and the 8th-ranked prospect in Texas.

2025 5-star WR out of Draper (UT) has announced his commitment date

2025 5-star WR Jerome Myles has set his commitment date

Texas A&M’s 2025 recruiting class is already impressive.

Head coach Mike Elko and his staff have more than proven their recruiting chops after some questioned whether Elko could match former head coach Jimbo Fisher’s prowess on the recruiting trail.

Already landing 20 commitments, including 5-star quarterback Husan Longstreet, several high-ranking prospects remain in the program’s grasp. One of these recruits recently announced his commitment date for later this year.

A top wide receiver prospect in the cycle, 2025 5-star WR Jerome Myles out of Draper, Utah, has revealed that he will choose between Georgia, Ohio State, USC, Utah, and Texas A&M on Wednesday, Oct. 30. After decommiting from Ole Miss back in April, Myles took an official visit to Texas A&M on June 21.

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.

As a true X wide receiver, Myles’ 2023 junior tape reveals a player willing to block and overpower defenders when necessary. His receiving skills are equally impressive, with soft hands, quick feet, and a knack for running precise routes while excelling in the red zone due to his large catch radius.

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.
