Ish Harris

It's been a steady improvement on the defensive side of the ball since Jimbo Fisher and Mike Elko arrived in Aggieland. While there's certainly a lot to be said for player development, there's no question the turnaround has been in large part due to wins on the recruiting trail.

Pilot Point (TX) linebacker Ish Harris committed to Texas A&M a few days ahead of his original July 1st scheduled announcement. He had a few reasons for bumping up his decision and now he is doing a little recruiting of his own.

I was able to catch up with several top prospects. I posted my notes on Evan Stewart earlier. As I said, I give Florida an edge and I'm watching Alabama and LSU closely right now too. Both SEC West programs are coming on strong after summer unofficial visits. I could see him taking a visit in the fall, but right now the only visits he has lined up are LSU and Alabama.The Aggies continue to make an impression on IMG Academy 2023 CB Malik Muhammad. He told me today the Aggies are for sure one of his top schools. He is developing a strong bond with coach Rushing, he likes the DL recruiting, and Jimbo Fisher has his attention. He plans to return to Aggieland for the Alabama game.El Campo 2023 RB Rueben Owens told me the Aggies are in his top five. His relationship is strong with coach Robinson and coach Fisher. He played with the Bootleggers today who are quarterbacked by Texas A&M commit Eli Holstein. Holstein has already been in his ear and its looking like he will return to College Station again before the end of the summer.Denton Ryan 2023 LB Anthony Hill is making plans to return to College Station this summer. He attended the spring game and camped/visited in June, his next trip, for the BBQ/pool party in July. It was pretty cool seeing Holstein, Owens, and Hill talking before the snap a few times when their teams faced off during pool play. Holstein and Owens are on the Bootleggers and Hill is on TrueBuzz. Not to read too much into it, but it looked like they already had a nice comradery. Speaking of Holstein, he is off and running as a recruiter for the class. In addition to Hill and Owens, he also mentioned guys like fellow Louisiana standouts Kylin Jackson and Shelton Sampson as prospects he has been talking to about the Aggies. Texas A&M commit Ish Harris was out there today, and he told me he has been working on Harold Perkins and Jadon Scarlett since making his commitment. He is fired up about his commitment and excited about graduating in December.
