Three Things: A&M hosts Junior Day, All-American Bowl standouts & more
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 offered his thoughts on Junior Day in Aggieland, the Navy All-American Bowl and more.
Texas A&M currently reaping the rewards of its big recruiting weekend
Mike Elko & Co. have never had a recruiting stretch quite like they did when LSU came to town over the weekend to battle for first in the SEC. The hype, stakes and atmosphere were different, and most importantly, the results on the field and recruiting trail were different, too.

Latest on Dominick McKinley - Friday Update
Friday Update: Dominick and his family are not visiting Texas or anywhere else this weekend*******There have been some rumors and reports about Lafayette (LA) Acadiana 2024 5-star DL Dominick McKinley visiting Texas, so I did some checking. I posted it earlier in another thread but it deserves its own. Here's the latest. Texas continues to pursue both Dominick and his younger brother Darryus McKinley. They have been invited to Texas, but they do not have a visit scheduled. LSU and others also continue to pursue and extend visit invitations which is to be expected. Texas A&M is in constant communication with the family led by Coach Robinson and Mason Smith, and right now the only visit they have scheduled is a trip to College Station for the Aggies' match-up with Mississippi State. It is currently the only visit the boys have said they want to take. They are excited and looking forward to the trip.Visits elsewhere are not completely out of the question but something to consider here is If a visit does get scheduled it has as much or more to do with Darryus who is a highly recruited 2026 prospect with offers and a recruiting process of his own.
