Texas A&M’s recruiting strategy under coach Mike Elko isn’t vastly different from that of former head coach Jimbo Fisher, except for the enhanced focus on the Dallas Fort Worth area, which is a sight for sore eyes among the fan base.
Alongside offensive line coach Adam Cushing, Elko paid a visit to 2026 four-star offensive tackle Zaden Krempin out of Prosper (TX), a recruiting pipeline to Texas Tech, as Cushing has kept his eye on the incoming senior who has risen in the recruiting rankings heading into his 2025 senior season.
This offseason, it’s clear that Elko and Cushing are looking to load up in the trenches in every recruiting cycle after adding six offensive line signees in the 2025 class. Last Saturday’s junior day included visits from 2026 five-star offensive tackles Jackson Cantwell and Immanuel Iheanacho.
Kremlin, who stands at a solid 6-5 and is over 270 pounds, already thrives as a run blocker and is still developing as a pass protector, though his hand placement and footwork continue to improve every season.
According to 247Sports Composite, Krempin is currently positioned as the 180th-ranked prospect in the 2026 class, the 12th-ranked interior offensive lineman, and the 24th-ranked prospect in Texas.
My family and I got to spend some time with @CoachMikeElko and @CoachCushing this morning. Looking forward to visiting again in March.
