2025 5-star OL Michael Fasusi will announce his commitment this week

Texas A&M is still in the running to land a commitment from 5-star offensive tackle Michael Fasusi

The Michael Fasusi recruiting saga is coming to an end this week. The 5-star offensive tackle in the 2025 recruiting class will announce his commitment on Wednesday, August 21. The Lewisville, Texas product will choose between five programs, including Texas A&M.

Texas, Oregon, Florida, and Oklahoma join the Aggies as the other four competing programs, while the Longhorns remain the favorites. However, rumors have swirled that Oklahoma and Texas A&M are still in the mix.

After visiting College Station on June 6, Fasusi developed a close relationship with both Aggies’ head coach Mike Elko and new O-line coach Adam Cushing, as Texas A&M has already landed four offensive line commitments in the 2025 cycle.

Standing at 6 feet, 4 inches, and nearly 300 pounds, Fasusi is highly versatile. He has experience at both tackle spots. However, due to his quickness and impressive footwork, his future is clearly at left tackle.

Looking back at Texas A&M’s success in developing left tackles through the years, Elko and Cushing certainly have a selling point, so Wednesday should be very interesting, to say the least.

Fasusi will announce his commitment at Lewisville High School as his announcement is set for 3:00 p.m. CT.

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.

Did 2025 5-star QB Husan Longstreet solidify is commitment to Texas A&M?

In a post on X, Husan Longstreet might have further solidified his commitment to Texas A&M

Texas A&M’s top-ranked commit in the 2025 recruiting class may have further solidified his commitment to the program through a social media post that had many of us wondering about the message being sent.

On Wednesday morning, 5-star quarterback Husan Longstreet went to X to post a photo of him in a Texas A&M uniform during one of his previous recruiting photo shoots with a headline stating, “Embrace the G.R.I.N.D” while tagging Texas A&M’s football X account.

Why is this important? Heading into his senior season at Centennial HS in Corona, California, USC head coach Lincoln Riley has been on the prowl as the QB guru, like many programs, is attempting to flip Longstreet before early signing day in December.

While Riley has been very successful in flipping top-rated signal callers during his entire coaching career at both Oklahoma and USC, if Longstreet’s post means anything, Mike Elko and his Aggie staff should feel secure as of now.

Longstreet possesses one of the strongest arms in the 2025 class. During his memorable 2023 junior season at Centennial HS in Corona (CA), Longstreet accounted for 3,013 yards, 24 touchdowns, and just seven interceptions through the air, including 645 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on the ground.

Texas A&M is on pace to out-recruit the Texas Longhorns in the 2025 cycle

Texas A&M’s 2025 recruiting class is six spots higher than the Texas Longhorns 2025 cycle

One of the biggest worries Aggie fans had after Texas A&M officially hired Mike Elko late last year was the former defensive coordinator’s ability to match Jimbo Fisher’s recruiting success. Still, within A&M’s 6th-ranked 2025 recruiting class, any previous doubt has all but dissolved.

After a highly successful summer, which included gaining more than seven commitments with 20 overall heading into Elko’s inaugural 2024 season, Texas A&M’s 2025 cycle is currently six spots ahead of rival Texas, who recently received a verbal commitment from 5-star wide receiver Kaliq Lockett earlier this week.

While there’s still time for the Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian to gain momentum, Wednesday night’s news that 2205 4-star DL DJ Sanders, who was heavily predicted to land in Austin, instead committed to Texas A&M after developing a close relationship with Mike Elko and the defensive staff, as Texas’s D-line recruiting issues continued.

However, both programs are in heavy pursuit of 2025 5-star safety Jonah Williams after the Aggies missed out on fellow 5-star safety Trey McNutt committed to Oregon, as Williams is set to announce his intentions on August 24th.

According to On3 recruiting insider Steve Wiltong, 2025 5-star offensive tackle Michael Fasusi was also apart of the Jonah Williams-based conversation. Wiltong stated that while Texas remains the favorite, Texas A&M is right in the mix as the top-ranked tackle has a chance to commit to either program, plus the Oklahoma Sooners based on NIL, distance, etc.

“The Aggies could hit big this month.”

Set to renew their rivalry on the field in the recently discontinued Lone Star Showdown, the recruiting battle is bound to stay heated for years to come in the most talent-rich state in the country.

2025 5-star safety Trey McNutt has announced his commitment time

2025 5-star safety Trey McNutt will announce his commitment later this afternoon

Texas A&M’s 2025 class has another chance to steadily rise in the overall team rankings this weekend as one of the top defensive prospects in the cycle will announce his commitment on Saturday afternoon.

After delaying his announcement just a week ago, 2025 5-star safety Trey McNutt is poised to choose between Texas A&M and Oregon and will also consider Ohio State, Florida, and USC. After taking his final two visits to College Station and Eugene last week, don’t count out the Buckeyes to potentially shock all of us.

After moving his commitment date, McNutt took to social media on Saturday morning to announce his official time, which is now set for 3:00 p.m. ET or 4:00 p.m. CT.

As Rivals’ Mark Passwaters noted last week, McNutt’s family is slated to move to the Houston area soon, which could put the Aggies in front after what was deemed a very successful campus visit last week with Mike Elko and his defensive staff.

On the field, McNutt is one of the top defensive playmakers in the country, recording 61 tackles, two for loss, 12 pass breakups, and a forced fumble on the year while excelling as a wide receiver on offense during his 2023 junior season.

According to Rivals, McNutt is ranked 20th in the 2025 cycle, the second-ranked safety prospect, and the third-ranked prospect in Ohio. Rivals insider Landyn Rosow is the only site analyst who predicts McNutt’s landing with Texas A&M.

2025 4-star TE Kiotti Armstrong reaffirms his comittment to Texas A&M

2025 4-star TE Kiotti Armstrong remains strongly committed to Texas A&M

This week, every commit in Texas A&M’s 2025 recruiting class has received an “official” offer from the program and every other school that has recruited them over the past year, as the national signing period begins during early signing day in late December.

One of the top-ranked prospects in the cycle, 2025 4-star defensive lineman Kiotti Armstrong, is one of the more versatile prospects in the class, recruited as a tight end while possessing the size, strength, and athleticism to play on the defensive line if the Aggie coaching staff deems it a better fit at the next level.

Despite his strong commitment, Armstrong has received ongoing interest from the Texas Longhorns, who were an early favorite to land him, as Mike Elko and his staff made a late push. However, after receiving his official offer from Texas A&M, Armstrong went to X, posting a GIF of Kyle Field, coupled with two 🏠 emojis, reaffirming a commitment to the program.

During his 2023 junior season at Jasper HS, Armstrong recorded 268 receiving yards and nine touchdowns, quickly becoming a red zone threat due to his soft hands and large stature at 6-foot-6 and 250 pounds.

According to 247Sports, Armstrong is the 76th-ranked prospect in the 2025 cycle, the 3rd-ranked tight end, and the 14th-ranked prospect in Texas.

Watch Texas A&M commit Landon Rink break his high school’s squat clean record

2025 4-star DL and Aggie commit Landon Rink just broke his high school’s squat clean record!

Texas A&M’s 2025 recruiting class exemplifies head coach Mike Elko’s influence. Since taking over the program last November, Elko has landed cycle 19 commitments with the help of his impressive coaching staff, including 5-star quarterback Husan Longstreet.

However, 2025 4-star defensive lineman Landon Rink stands out mainly due to his impressive strength and weight room heroics. He recently showed off his lifting feats during the annual OT7 competition this summer.

Rink, who is entering his senior season at Cy-Fair HS in Cypress, Texas, took to the weight room once again to attempt to break the program’s squat clean record, which was recently held by former Cy-Fair tight end and current Detroit Lion Brock Wright.

Well, unsurprising to his teammates and those of us who have covered his play, Rink successfully cleaned 350 pounds, and even though it wasn’t perfect, he got the job done!

During his 2023 junior season, Rink’s performance was exceptional. He was one of the most dominant high school players in the country. He recorded an impressive 70 tackles, 15 sacks, 30 tackles for loss, five pass breakups, and two forced fumbles.

According to Rivals, Rink is the 175th-ranked prospect in the 2025 class, the 11th-ranked defensive lineman, and the 25th-ranked prospect in Texas.

Is Texas A&M still a favorite to land 2025 5-star safety Trey McNutt?

Is Texas A&M still the favorite to land 2025 5-star safety Trey McNutt

Next Saturday,  5-star safety Trey McNutt, one of the top prospects in the 2025 recruiting cycle, will announce his commitment. After delaying his commitment, which was previously set for last week, he will choose between Florida, Ohio State, USC, Oregon, and Texas A&M.

On Thursday, McNutt visited Texas A&M for a second time after his official visit on June 13, making his delay a potential sign that the Aggies are now in the lead for his commitment, even though he is also coming off a return to Oregon just a day after leaving College Station.

So, less than a week before McNutt’s announcement, where do Mike Elko and his staff stand with the future superstar defender? Well, according to one of the top Aggie insiders, AggieYell’s (Rivals) Mark Passwaters agrees that A&M should be the front-runner after the commitment delay:

“The Aggies have put in quite an effort to sway McNutt over the past month and certainly seem to have the momentum in his recruitment” Passwaters stated. ” McNutt’s decision to delay his commitment until next week sure seemed to favor the Aggies, as does the prospect of his family moving to the Houston area. Add in another visit this week and it’s not hard to see why the Aggies would feel good about this one.”

While Texas A&M is likely neck and neck with the Oregon Ducks going into the week, I’d have to agree with Passwaters that his family’s potential move to the Houston area is subtle but important information that could play into his final decision.

On the field, McNutt is one of the top defensive playmakers in the country, recording 61 tackles, two for loss, 12 pass breakups, and a forced fumble on the year while excelling as a wide receiver on offense during his 2023 junior season.

According to Rivals, McNutt is ranked 20th in the 2025 cycle, the second-ranked safety prospect, and the third-ranked prospect in Ohio. Rivals insider Landyn Rosow is currently the only site analyst to predict McNutt’s landing with Texas A&M.

2025 5-star safety Jonah Williams has reportedly canceled his visit to LSU

2025 5-star safety Jonah Williams has reportedly cancelled his visit to LSU

What has become quite the recruiting journey over the past three months, 2025 5-star athlete/safety Jonah Williams will commit on August 24. After making several official visits this summer, he will choose between USC, Texas, LSU, Oregon, and Texas A&M.

This week, Williams visited Texas for his unofficial Longhorns visit, but as it stands, Texas A&M and the Oregon Ducks look like the programs to watch heading into next month. However, LSU still remains a potential favorite.

However, according to Rivals insider Landyn Rosow, Williams has canceled his visit to LSU, which was slated to start on Friday and will be rescheduled for next weekend. Does this mean anything? Possibly, but for Mike Elko and his staff, Williams Texas A&M OV last month could be enough to cement his commitment.

During his junior season in 2023, Williams played wide receiver on offense and safety/linebacker on defense, showcasing his duel-threat ability while recording 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.

According to Rivals, Williams is currently positioned as the 16th-ranked prospect in the 2025 recruiting class, the No. 1-ranked safety prospect, and the 4th-ranked prospect in Texas.

2025 4-star LB and Aggie commit Noah Mikhail will visit Texas A&M this weekend

Texas A&M linebacker commit Noah Mikhail is headed back to College Station this weekend

This is a busy weekend for Texas A&M’s 2025 and 2026 recruiting classes. Mike Elko and his coaching staff will host a growing list of prospects from both cycles during A&M’s annual recruiting pool party this weekend.

While 2025 prospects visiting include 5-star safety Trey McNutt, who pushed back his commitment decision before heading to College Station on Thursday, one of the program’s 19 2025 commits will also attend the pool party this weekend.

2025 4-star LB Noah Mikhail, who committed to Texas A&M back in late June, is by far the most versatile backer in the cycle, and outside of being a tackling machine, Mikhail has the potential to become a feared pass rusher in Elko’s defensive scheme.

Making it back to CSTAT for the first time since his official visit on June 7, Mikail remains locked in with the program ahead of National Signing Day in February and could help sway several 2025 prospects toward committing to the Aggies in the coming days.

During his 2023 junior season, Mikhail racked up 166 tackles, one sack, 15 tackles for loss, three pass breakups, and an interception at Bonita HS in La Verne, California.

According to 247Sports Composite, Mikhail is currently positioned as the 74th-ranked prospect in the 2025 cycle, the 10th-ranked linebacker, and the 7th-ranked prospect in California.

2025 5-star safety Trey McNutt receives a warm welcome during his Texas A&M visit

Trey McNutt has arrived in College Station!

Texas A&M’s 2025 recruiting class is poised to continue growing in the coming months, starting with this weekend’s annual recruiting pool party, head coach Mike Elko’s first since taking over the program in November.

One of A&M’s high-priority prospects in the 2025 cycle who will visit this weekend is 5-star safety Trey McNutt. According to several analysts, he is down to Oregon and Texas A&M, which resulted in him moving his commitment date from last week to August 3rd.

On its face, this is the most critical visit of the weekend, as fellow 2025 5-star safety Jonah Williams is visiting the Texas Longhorns this weekend, which could be a sign of things to come.

Well, it’s safe to say Aggie fans in College Station are paying attention, as McNutt’s Thursday arrival included a warm welcome with a sign similar to when the Aggies welcomed current defensive end Nic Scourton.

On the field, McNutt is one of the top defensive playmakers in the country, recording 61 tackles, two for loss, 12 pass breakups, and a forced fumble on the year while excelling as a wide receiver on offense during his 2023 junior season.

According to Rivals, McNutt is currently ranked 20th in the 2025 cycle, the 2nd-ranked safety prospect, and the third-ranked prospect in Ohio.
