Texas A&M’s football program is now under new leadership, as new head coach Mike Elko has only been on the job for two full months, already acquiring 22 players from the transfer portal while solidifying the Aggies’ 2024 recruiting class to boot.
During Wednesday’s National Signing Day, Elko and his staff secured signings from several 2024 commits, headlined by 5-star athlete Terry Bussey, possibly the top overall player in the cycle. While Bussey’s signing was a huge sigh of relief for both the coaching staff and the Aggie fan base, 3-star offensive tackle Robert Bourdon and 4-star wide receiver Ashton Belton-Roman are two significant late additions to the class.
According to On3, Texas A&M’s 2024 recruiting class is currently the 17th-ranked class in the nation, but what sticks out the most is their high percentage of “blue chip” prospects among the 17 signees—taking the “quality over quantity” approach, where do the Aggies land among the Top 10 programs in blue chip signees?
Here are On3’s Top 10 programs in accordance with blue chip (4-star, 5-star signees) players in the 2024 recruiting cycle.
