2025 4-star LB out of Dallas (TX) visited Texas A&M this weekend

2025 4-star linebacker Elijah Barnes reportedly made his way to College Station for Texas A&M’s junior day this weekend.

Last week, we reported that 2025 4-star linebacker Elijah Barnes would visit Texas A&M during the Aggies’ second junior day this month and directly from Barnes’ X profile, he made his way to College Station on Saturday morning.

After 2025 4-star LB Kelvion Riggins announced his commitment to the Aggies on Friday night, momentum has made its way to CSTAT this weekend, joining several high-priority prospects, including 4-star athlete Michael Terry III, and 4-star cornerback Deyjhon Pettaway.

Barnes is set to enter his final senior season at Skyline High School. During his 2023 junior campaign, Barnes recorded 65 tackles (57 solo tackles), three sacks, five interceptions, and 12 tackles for loss on the year. Like Kelvion Riggins, Barnes has a nose for the football, possessing the pursuit speed and understanding of blocking angles in the run game, with the instincts and athleticism to cover the middle of the field.

According to 247Sports Composite, Barnes is currently positioned as the 83rd-ranked player in the 2025 cycle, the 12th-ranked linebacker prospect and the 14th-ranked player in Texas.

After visiting Texas last weekend, it’s now Mike Elko’s turn to pitch his playing future in Aggieland, while new defensive coordinator Jay Bateman’s influence should also pay dividends.

Texas A&M’s second junior day will be chock-full of 2025 talent this weekend

Several high-priority prospects will make their way to College Station this weekend for Texas A&M’s second junior day this year.

Texas A&M’s 2025 recruiting class has a new addition after Friday night, as 4-star inside linebacker Kelvion Riggins committed to the program over Georgia and Tennessee.

Heading into the weekend, Riggin’s announcement may spur several key 2025 prospects to make the Aggies a finalist in their respective recruiting lists, as head coach Mike Elko and his staff will host several of said prospects again during the A&M’s second junior day weekend. So, who sticks out the most? Take a gander at this talented list:

The focus seems clear: the Aggies require preparations for multiple departures on the offensive line after next season, while versatile athlete/wide receiver Michael Terry, who Elko offered just days ago, possesses a similar skill set on offense needed for new offensive coordinator Collin Klein’s expansive scheme.

These is just three of the players apart of an expansive visitors list, including a bevy of 2026 prospects. Still, the main message remains Elko’s steadfast dedication to building Texas A&M’s future the right way while maneuvering through the ever-changing landscape regarding NIL and the transfer portal, one area of which Elko has already mastered ahead of the 2024 campaign.
