Essexville (MI) Garber standout defender Alex VanSumeren had his first in-person experience with Aggieland over the weekend and it exceeded the expectations of both him and his parents. From the coaches, to the players, to the people in the community, Texas A&M made quite the impression.
Running Recruiting Thread: June 24-27 weekend
The final official visit weekend is underway, as many visits from big-time targets while State 7-on-7 takes place means the weekend is sure to be busy. Follow along as TexAgs keeps you updated on all the storylines throughout the weekend.
Some RB and OV recruiting notes
Running back recruiting remains an intriguing storyline, and right now I expect one in the class. Coach Tommie Robinson and the Aggies have been hard at work at the position with a few key targets already making it to campus.Last week the Aggies solidified their standing with TreVonte Citizen, the week before that it was Jamarion Miller, and this week the Aggies have already hosted one top RB with another planning to OV this weekend. Las Vegas (NV) Desert Pines 2022 RB Jovantae Barnes stopped through Wednesday evening for a private workout and in talking to sources it sounds like the Aggies made a solid impression. He's taking his time sorting through his options but he is a prospect to watch. This weekend the Aggies are also set to host Alabama commit LeVeon Moss of Baton Rouge (LA) Istrouma this weekend. Another name I recently heard pop up again is El Paso Burges standout Tavorus Jones. He planned to take an OV to Texas, and it looked like the Longhorns were separating from the pack. However, I was told by a source he is no longer visiting Texas and he is now talking about getting in touch with Texas A&M and Alabama. We'll see what happens but it's worth watching for now.*********On the official visit front, add Essexville (MI) Garber DT Alex VanSumeren to next weekend's (June 24) visitor list. VanSumeren has taken OVs to Michigan State and Penn State the last two weekends. Houston Clear Lake CB Julian Humphrey also plans to take an official visit on the 24th.
Examining the official visitors: June 24th-27th
The final weekend of a crazy busy month of June will see some really important targets make their way to Aggieland. The Texas A&M staff will be looking to close the month strong as we head into what will likely be a decision heavy July. Here are the names we are expecting in town as official visitors from the 24th through the 27th. You'll notice no commits expected this weekend, either. Also, some of these visits will start on that Thursday and some on Friday. That's why I gave it a three day boundary instead of the normal two. TargetsFrisco OL Cole Hutson Humble Summer Creek OL Kelvin Banks Deer Creek (OK) OL Jacob Sexton Bradenton (FL) DE Jihaad Campbell Essexville (MI) DT Alex VanSumeren Lanett (AL) DT Caden Story Mobile (AL) LB Shemar James Bradenton (FL) S Kamari Wilson Kelvin Banks and Cole Hutson accompany a large group of elite out of state defenders. It'll be interesting to see where the Aggies stand with each one of those defensive guys on the other side of the weekend. Both Campbell and Wilson are IMG Academy products, but Campbell hails from that New Jersey area where the Aggies have had some success under Jimbo Fisher.We'll wrap up these lists tomorrow with a look at the unofficials that we expect as well as some names that we'll be watching when the camps begin in a couple of week.
