2026 5-star DB out of Flowood (MS) has placed Texas A&M in his Top 10

One of the top defensive back propsects in the 2026 class has included Texas A&M in his Top 10 program list

When Texas A&M hired Mike Elko to replace long-time head coach Jimbo Fisher, some questioned whether Elko could match Fisher’s recruiting success. However, if the Aggies’ 2025 cycle is of any concern, the new regime has things back on track.

As the focus shifts to the 2024 season, A&M’s 2026 recruiting class is beginning to lay the groundwork for next summer. It has already landed two defensive prospects, 3-star safety Markel Ford and 3-star cornerback Ryan Gilbert, as Elko’s defensive background continues to play a huge role on the recruiting trail.

Looking to land another blue-chip prospect in the secondary this cycle, 2026 5-star safety Bralan Womack has released his top 10 program list, which includes Texas A&M, as the Mississippi native is by far one of the most versatile secondary prospects in the class.

Within his list, Texas A&M joins Notre Dame, Ohio State, Mississippi State, Alabama, Nebraska, Tennessee, Louisville, Texas, and LSU.

On the field, Womack has played wide receiver on offense while returning punts, consistently showing off his speed and impressive hands. In contrast, his understanding of wide receiver routes bodes well once he moves to cornerback or safety at the next level.

According to 247Sports, Womack is currently the 32nd-ranked prospect in the class, the No. 1-ranked safety prospect, and the No. 1-ranked prospect in Mississippi.

2026 4-star QB out of Draper (UT) is predicted to land with Texas A&M

One of Texas A&M’s future visitors is now predicted to land with Texas A&M

Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko and his staff are putting the finishing touches on the Aggies’ 2025 recruiting class. The cycle is currently in the top 10 of the team rankings after landing a huge commitment from 4-star defensive lineman DJ Sanders last week.

While the focus slowly shifts to the 2026 recruiting class, it was recently reported that one of the top signal callers in the 2026 cycle is headed to College Station for Texas A&M’s 2024 season opener vs. Notre Dame, which will also serve as Elko’s inaugural campaign.

Set to enter his junior season at Corner Canyon HS in Draper, Utah, Casuga fits the mold of Aggie OC Collin Klein’s ideal quarterback. The Utah native has an impressive arm and accuracy while showing the ability to make plays out of structure.

According to On3 recruiting analyst Steve Wiltfong, Casuga is now predicted to land with Texas A&M over Utah, USC, and Oregon.

Casuga threw over 6,475 yards and 60 touchdowns in his last two seasons, including 4,145 yards and 34 touchdowns during his 2023 sophomore season.

According to On3, Casuga is currently the 20th-ranked quarterback in the class and the fourth-ranked player in Utah.

2026 4-star QB out of Draper (UT) will visit Texas A&M later this month

One of the top quarterbacks in the 2026 recruiting class will be in attendance for the 2024 season opener

While Texas A&M’s 2024 season opener vs. Notre Dame is the main priority for head coach Mike Elko and his staff, recruiting never takes a break. The Aggies’ 2026 recruiting class will take center stage during the opening weekend as one of the top 2026 signal callers will attend the matchup.

According to Rivals insider Landyn Rosow, 2026 4-star quarterback Helaman Casuga will visit College Station at the end of the month and attend the game. He will witness firsthand what the Elko era has to offer and how OC Collin Klein’s scheme fits his playing style.

So far, Texas A&M’s 2026 cycle is only two commitments deep, while 2025 5-star Husan Longstreet remains the only quarterback commit in any future Aggie recruiting class, and due to the ever-growing transfer portal, it’s smart to load up on talented signal callers in every cycle.

A true dual-threat quarterback, Casuga is just tall enough at 6 feet 1 inches and possesses impressive arm strength, accuracy, and touch. He has thrown for over 6,475 yards and 60 touchdowns in his last two seasons, including 4,145 yards and 34 touchdowns during his 2023 sophomore season.

2026 4-star RB Westlake Village (CA) has placed Texas A&M in his Top 12

Texas A&M is an initial finalist for one of the top running back prospects in the 2026 recruiting class

With new offensive coordinator Collin Klein bringing his expertise to the playbook, and the recruiting trail, Texas A&M’s offensive future is in good hands for years to come.

This summer, the Aggies’ 2025 recruiting class continued to grow. The 2026 cycle is still in its beginning stages. Still, it could see several commitments in the coming months, especially with Klein’s influence ahead of Texas A&M’s 2024 season, which will also serve as head coach Mike Elko’s inaugural campaign.

This week, one of the top running backs in the 2026 class included the Aggies in his Top 12 program list, as 4-star RB Deshonee Redeaux is down to USC, UCLA, Washington, Oregon, Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, and Oklahoma, and Texas A&M.

On the field, Redeaux has been compared to Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs for his impressive footwork, vision, and agility once he makes the first defender miss. Redeaux has run for 939 yards and eight touchdowns during his freshman and sophomore seasons.

Rising 2026 wide receiver Jalen Lott will return to Texas A&M for the Aggie’s 2024 season opener vs. Notre Dame

Texas A&M’s 2024 college football season is just five weeks away. Mike Elko’s inaugural season at the helm will begin with a primetime showdown against Notre Dame inside a packed Kyle Field on Saturday, August 31.

Texas A&M is currently hosting one of the top wide receiver prospects in the 2026 cycle

This weekend is a busy one for Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko and his staff, as a litany of 2025 and 2026 prospects have made their way to College Station for unofficial and official visits.

Standing out the most, 2025 5-star safety Trey McNutt visited on Thursday, just days after pushing his commitment Date to early next month while representing the 2026 cycle, 4-star wide receiver Dequane Prevo has arrived on the campus for his second visit within the last two months.

2026 5-star QB out of Folsom (CA) has arrived at Texas A&M

Ryder Lyons has arrived for his Texas A&M visit

I don’t believe Aggie fans need to be reminded that under former head coach Jimbo Fisher, landing elite quarterback prospects outside of current starting quarterback Conner Weigman was a consistent issue due to his poor development track post-Jameis Winston during his Florida State days.

With Mike Elko and new offensive coordinator Collin Klein now at the helm, Texas A&M’s 2025 cycle is a top-ten-ranked class with the potential to rise in the rankings over the next couple of months, especially after this weekend.

Texas A&M’s coaching/recruiting staff annually hosts recruits during the last weekend in July, providing a relaxed atmosphere during their visit. Even more importantly, prospects can discuss their potential collegiate futures together in College Station.

While the list is long, 2026 5-star quarterback Ryder Lyons stands out in the cycle, as the highly talented California native has made his way to campus, posing in a picture with Collin Klein inside Aggie’s team weight room.

Lyons possesses impressive arm, accuracy, and elite touch on the field. He completed over 68% of his passes for 3,578 yards, 38 touchdowns, and just eight interceptions on the year while running for 929 yards and 23 (!) touchdowns on the ground during his 2023 sophomore season at Folsom HS.

According to 247Sports, Lyons is ranked 11th in the 2026 cycle, third in quarterback prospect, and second in California prospect.
