Scattershooting Recruiting, Part 2: Fisher doing work in Houston & more
A&M coach Jimbo Fisher and his staff wrapped up another top 10 recruiting class with a strong close while also kickstarting an impressive 2022 group. Billy Liucci takes a look at the 2021 finish, the staff's dominant work in Houston and the possibilities for a special next class.
2022 Suwanee (GA) Lambert wide receiver Kojo Antwi high on the Aggies
Since the Aggies offered in April, Kojo Antwi has been extremely high on Texas A&M, even calling it his dream school. The 2022 Suwanee (GA) Lambert receiver isn't in a hurry to make a decision, but the Maroon & White have certainly positioned themselves nicely.
Around the SEC: Recruiting news and trends
It's time to take a look around at the biggest pick-ups on the recruiting front as well as some of the top recruiting news and notes from around the SEC. Jason Howell details that and more in this week's Around the SEC.
A few Out-of-state prospects to watch in 2022
Since Jimbo Fisher's arrival in Aggieland, Texas A&M has reeled in some big out of state targets, and even with a loaded in-state 2022 class, it is a safe bet the Texas A&M class will include some key out-of-state targets. In fact, just yesterday, Suwanee (GA) Lambert WR Kojo Antwi named the Aggies in his top eight along with USC, Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and Oregon, so here are a few out-of-state prospects to watch as the focus shifts more towards 2022. QB Ty Simpson, Martin (TN) Westview - QB has been a big question when it comes to Texas A&M's 2022 class and Simpson is a guy who continues to emerge. He camped at Texas A&M in 2019 and coach Fisher's son Trey currently plays for Simpson's dad at Tennessee-Martin. The Aggies made his top 10 but the competition is fierce with Clemson, Ole Miss, and Tennessee also hot on his trail. His top 10 includes Texas A&M, Clemson, Ole Miss, Oklahoma, Texas, Auburn, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Tennessee-Martin. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/11111907/5f9f7069dfd9bf02c0036c17 OL Jacob Sexton, Edmond (OK) Deer Creek - A legit 6-5, 300, Sexton is considered the top OL in the Sooner State so look for Oklahoma to be heavily involved in his process, but I would not count out the Aggies either. One reason, Josh Henson, he has strong ties in Oklahoma has created quite a few waves across the college football landscape and that has not been lost on recruits. In addition to the Aggies, Sexton holds offers from the in-state Sooners and Cowboys as well as the likes of Alabama, Notre Dame, Stanford, Nebraska, Tennessee, Texas, and Northwestern. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/11432515/5f908859ff0cdd08b8fd99fc DE Shemar Stewart, Opa Locka (FL) Mongsignor Pace - Outside of Texas, Florida has been Texas A&M's most fertile recruiting ground since Jimbo Fisher's arrival. Stewart is a 6-5, 235-pound elite defensive end, one of the top prospects in the country, and he has an interest in the Aggies. Stewart is probably the longest shot on the list but Elijah Robinson and Terry Price have shown they can go head-to-head with anyone in the country for anyone in the country. The Aggies made his top 10 along with Penn State, Miami, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Clemson, Ohio State, Alabama, and Arizona State.https://www.hudl.com/video/3/11522842/5f9da6356898c20a54f1153e LB Stone Blanton, Madison (MS) Madison-Ridgeland Academy - A 6-foot-2, 220-pound, downhill-running, slobber-knocking, sideline-to-sideline linebacker. One of the top prospects in the southeast, and the Aggie's next big target in the state of Mississippi. Coach Santucci has been hot on Blanton's trail since the beginning of the 2022 recruiting cycle and the the two communicate on a regular. Blanton is currently committed to play baseball for Mississippi State, but his football recruiting has taken off since he made that choice. He is openly exploring his football options, and I look for the relationship with Santucci, a stout defense, and the SEC to help Texas A&M's efforts. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/7938500/5fad57d104284b0b943f70da
