Jaleel McRae

We have touched on this countless times, but this staff is relentless and it continues to show as things pick up on the 2019 front. In the DFW area a few big name prospects keep popping up. Marquez Beason has been on commitment watch since his Bishop Dunne teammate and close friend Brian Williams committed at the end of January, and the Aggies remain high on his list. I do not think it is going too far out on a limb to call the Aggies the leader right now. Aledo's Jeffery Carter is another one generating a lot of pro-A&M buzz. He visited twice in two weekends and has already formed a great bond with coach Linguist. I've heard he may take his time, but if a few dominoes fall, I could see Carter deciding to pull the trigger too. NaNa Osafo-Mensah recently announced his top 10 schools, and plans to announce his college commitment at Nolan Catholic's spring game on May 19. Making that top 10 was no surprise to those following A&M recruiting, and I continue to hear A&M's main competition right now is Notre Dame and LSU. I have had the Aggies picked in this one for months and when Elko came on board the odds only increased. That has not changed since his recent visit for the Super Bowl event. I do see a lot of Erick Young talk and I have heard the Aggies are at the top of his list, but I have also been hearing he will look at some options before he makes a decision. He will be at OU this weekend, and I look for a return trip to Aggieland in the near future. Yesterday I caught up with quite a few linebackers. I have an update coming on Spencer Lytle I think you guys are going to really like. The St. John Bosco (CA) defender did not name a leader, but it was very clear he did his homework on the Aggies. He mentioned the Mays Business School and 102,000 packed into Kyle Field on game days as a few things that caught his attention. He plans to make a visit very soon, and he would like to make a decision in the spring or summer. I also got a feeling that Jaleel McRae was really liking the Aggies. He is not planning to decide until the fall, but coach Fisher and the staff sure seemed to have his attention. I stopped by Colleyville Heritage this morning to see Texas A&M commitment Kameron Brown, but I also made sure to check out an emerging 2020 prospect. Offensive tackle Gavin Byers stands in at 6-5, 255. He's a big bodied guy with little bad weight on his frame. He's also a center on the basketball team. Coach Willis had some high praise for this young man, so go ahead and put him down as a name to know this spring. I did not catch up with OU 2020 commit and Texas A&M offer Drew Sanders but look for the Aggies to remain hot on his trail.
