Just when you thought that the Aggies were out of contention for one of the top defensive tackle prospects in the 2023 class, look again! During the afternoon of Tuesday, April 26th, the 6’5″ 350-pound defensive lineman Jamaal Jarrett took to social media to spread the news that Texas A&M was back in play for his recruitment, tagging the defensive line coach for the Aggies, Elijah Robinson. Texas A&M gave Jarrett an offer on April 22nd, possibly showing that it just took a couple of days for the young man to weigh his options, which now includes the maroon and white.

After announcing his top five schools, (Georgia, Clemson, LSU, North Carolina, and Auburn) less than a week ago, the consensus was that A&M might have lost its chance at signing the big man, but Tuesday’s news seems to have thrown them right back in the mix, even if it’s just on the outside looking in. according to 247Sports however, the “crystal ball” of experts give the Georiga Bulldogs a 75% chance of signing Jarrett, but as we know with recruiting, minds swiftly change when new programs enter the conversation.
With the recent recruiting success, the Aggies have sustained a stranglehold of sorts on the recruiting the top defensive linemen, with the 2022 class featuring names like Shemar Stewart (5-Star), Waler Nolan (5-Star), and Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy (4-Star), making not only the fan base excited for the future but also giving defensive line prospects like Jamaal Jarrett something to think about during the final leg of his recruiting.
