Jesse Ford

As he does every Friday morning, TexAgs' senior recruiting analyst Jason Howell offered up another round of his weekly recruiting thoughts. In this edition of his Three Things, Howell recapped Texas A&M's pool party weekend, discussed ongoing recruiting battles and more.

Over the weekend, 2026 Arlington (TX) Martin DE Jesse Ford took his first trip to Texas A&M, and he made no secret about it. His eyes were opened by Aggieland, and the visit gave him plenty to think about as he moves forward.

Mike Elko and Co. are set to host their last visitors of the summer beginning Thursday with Friday's pool party/BBQ capping the busy summer recruiting festivities. As always this list is subject to change, and we will continue to update it as we gather information.Thursday2025sS Trey McNutt III, Cleveland (OH) Shaker Heights2026sQB Ryder Lyons, Folsom (CA)RB DeZephen Walker, Raymore (MO) Raymore-PeculiarWR Aaron Gregory, Douglasville (GA) Douglas CountyOL Vincent Johnson, Sulphur Springs (TX)DE Jordan Carter, Douglasville (GA) Douglas County2027sRB Landen Williams-Callis, Richmond (TX) Randle WR Antayvious Ellis, Crowley (TX)********Friday (Pool Party)CommitsQB Husan Longstreet, Corona (CA) CentennialWR Kelshaun Johnson, Hitchcock (TX)OL Connor Carty, Prosper (TX) OL Marcus Garcia, Denton (TX) RyanOL Josh Moses, Houston (TX) LegacyOL Jonte Newman, Cypress (TX) BridgelandOL Tyler Thomas, Dickinson (TX)DL Landon Rink, Cypress (TX) Cy-FairDL Chace Sims, Richmond (TX) RandleLB Noah Mikhail, La Verne (CA) Bonita LB Kelvion Riggins, Forney (TX) OLB Marco Jones, Danville (CA) San Ramon ValleyCB Jamar Beal-Goines, Phoenix (AZ) Desert EdgeCB Adonyss Currie, Lancaster (CA) Quartz HillCB Cobey Sellers, Pearland (TX) Shadow CreekNB Deyjhon Pettaway, Katy (TX) PaetowCB Ryan Gilbert, Forney (TX) North Forney - 2026S Markel Ford, Mesquite (TX) Horn - 2026K Colton Chmelar, College Station (TX) A&M Consolidated - PWODS Gray Evans, Houston (TX) Bellaire Episcopal - PWO2025sDL JJ Hanne, Rancho Santa Margarita (CA) Santa Margarita CatholicS Trey McNutt III, Cleveland (OH) Shaker Heights2026sRB KJ Edwards, Carthage (TX)WR Mike Brown, Houston (TX) LegacyWR Aaron Gregory, Douglasville (GA) Douglas CountyWR Travis Johnson, Chesapeake (VA) Oscar SmithWR Jalen Lott, Frisco (TX) Panther CreekWR Dequane Prevo, Texarkana (TX) Liberty-EylauWR London Smith, Waco (TX) UniversityOL Avery Morcho, Missouri City (TX) Fort Bend Ridge PointOL Nicolas Robertson, Klein (TX)OL John Turntine, Crowley (TX) North CrowleyDE Jamarion Carlton, Temple (TX)DE Jordan Carter, Douglasville (GA) Douglas County DE Jesse Ford, Arlington (TX) MartinDE JaReylan McCoy, Tupelo (MS)LB Joseph Credit, Pearland (TX)LB Cincere Johnson, Cleveland (OH) GlenvilleLB Samu Moala, Lawndale (CA) LeuzingerLB Payhton Porter, Melissa (TX)LB Jaquez Wilkes, Wadley (AL)CB Jordan Thomas Oradell (NJ) Bergen CatholicDB Bralan Womack, Flowood (MS) Hartfield AcademyS Jordan Deck, Frisco (TX) Lone StarATH Paris Melvin Jr, Cypress (TX) Cy Springs2027sWR Antayvious Ellis, Crowley (TX)WR Trenton Yancey, Arlington (TX) LamarTE Jeramie Cooper, Crowley (TX) North CrowleyATH Davontrae Kirkland, Waco (TX) UniversityA few quick notes-Committs RB Deondrae Riden, WR Tristan Norman, and TE Kiotti Armstrong are not expected to make it. They each have other obligations and have communicated their intentions to the staff so do not read too much into their absence. -If you are asking, I do think there is potential for a few top targets not currently on the list to pop in, but we will see as the weekend plays out.-Another couple of quick notes. Earlier this week OL Michael Fasusi told me he does not have any weekend plans. I am also not expecting DJ Sanders to make an appearance this weekend, but I continue to hear what Brauny has said about the Aggies being in an enviable position there.
