2025 4-Star LB out of McKinney (TX) places Texas A&M in his Top 6 program list

Texas A&M has made the cut for 2025 4-star linebacker Riley Pettijohn, who released his Top 6 program list on Wednesday.

Texas A&M’s 2024 recruiting class is complete, culminating with the signing of 5-star athlete Terry Bussey last Wednesday.

With the focus now shifting to the 2025 recruiting cycle, Aggies head coach Mike Elko and his staff have already landed 4-star linebacker Kelvion Riggins and 4-star cornerback Deyjhon Pettaway and have just made the final list for another elite linebacker prospect in the class.

On Wednesday, 2025 4-star linebacker Riley Pettijohn released his Top 6 program list, which includes Texas, USC, Georiga, Florida State, Ohio State, and Texas A&M.

Under former head coach Jimbo Fisher, the Aggies’ offered Pettijohn back in March of last year, knowing he would soon ascend the recruiting rankings after his productive junior season. During the said junior season at McKinney (TX) HS, Pettijohn was a tackling machine, recording 120 tackles, ten tackles for loss, three sacks, five pass breakups, and an interception.

Standing at 6-2 and 210 pounds, Pettijohn possesses an NFL frame with room to add healthy weight. Due to his previous play at safety, Pettijohn is an exceptional open-field tackler with the speed and instincts to excel as a three-down linebacker at the next level.

According to 247Sports, Pettijohn is currently positioned as the 33rd-ranked prospect in the 2025 cycle, the 3rd-ranked linebacker, and the 7th-ranked player in Texas.

2025 4-Star PG out of Denton (TX) places Texas A&M in his Top 10 program list

Texas A&M is a finalist for 2025 4-star point guard Jeremiah Green out of Denton, Texas.

Under head coach Buzz Williams, recruiting has been, well, an issue. Outside of landing current start point guard Wade Taylor IV and ascending sophomore forward Solomon Washington, Williams has been forced to rely on the transfer portal to survive each season, which has obviously worked out with the likes of Tyrece “Boots” Radford and Henry Coleman III.

However, this season’s offense, outside of Taylor and spurts of Radford, has been utterly anemic, placing more pressure on Williams to recruit at a higher level, starting with the 2025 class. Last week, one of the top point guards in the 2025 cycle, Sunrise Christian’s (TX) Jeremiah Green, placed the Aggies in his Top 10 program list.

According to 24/7 High School Hoops, Green will now focus on Texas, Auburn, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Kansas State, TCU, Houston, Virginia, and Texas A&M. Back on Oct. 6, Green visited College Station knowing that the Aggies basketball future is as bright as it’s been under Williams, just ending more talent to reach their true potential.

Green is currently positioned as the 51st-ranked player in the 2025 cycle, the 9th-ranked point guard, and the No. 1-ranked player in Texas.

Green is an exceptional athlete and floor general with elite defensive instincts and the ability to create for others while consistently finishing near the basket, paired with a pure outside shot.
