Standout LB Marcus James lists Texas A&M among his top five schools
2025 Oklahoma City (OK) Carl Albert LB Marcus James made his way to College Station over the weekend, and shortly after, he named his top five. He spoke to TexAgs about his game day experience in Aggieland, his top five and the next steps in his recruiting process.
A few more weekend recruiting notes
As Brauny said in the longform I've talked to a few sources who indicated the Aggies made a great impression on Solomon Williams while he was in town. I wouldn't go as far as to call the Aggies his leader but I'm told they are right up there high on his list with Texas and Alabama thought to be the main competition. We reported Sunday Kobe Black did not make it in for an official visit as originally thought. One reason being his dad could not make the trip. It does look like it will be rescheduled. I'm told the end of the month so that points to the South Carolina game. Right now I'd say the Longhorns are the team to beat, but Texas A&M is not out of it. Getting him and his family on campus is going to have to happen if the Aggies are to make a move, but they made a big move at the end of July and there's no reason to think they can't do the same with a strong visit this fall. Oklahoma City (OK) Carl Albert 2025 LB Marcus James announced he will name his top 5 but it also sounds like he is getting close to a commitment decision. Coming off his visit it sounds like the Aggies made a positive move up his interest list, but I do get the feeling OU is the school with the edge right now.Denton (TX) Guyer 2025 DL Xavier Ukponu was blown away by the atmosphere this weekend. He called it the best game day atmosphere he has been to, and then he said the d-line is one of the best in the nation. He spoke with Coach E and coach Fisher after the game and while he doesn't have any other visits scheduled he did say he'd probably visit OU next.We will have something out soon on Lufkin (TX) 2025 DL Zion Williams. This weekend was his first game day visit to Texas A&M and the atmosphere definitely made a strong impression. The 6-4, 310-pound standout keeps in close contact with coach Robinson and has established a strong bond already. USC and TCU are a couple other schools he mentioned who are keeping in close contact and his next visit is in a couple of weeks to USC. Williams also visited Texas A&M this summer and after talking to him i get the feeling the Aggies are very well positioned. I mentioned in the weekend running thread but thought i'd post it here too. After the game Forney (TX) 2025 LB Kelvion Riggins said he had a great time at the game. He said the energy of the defense stood out in his mind and he thought the LBs played just like him - downhill and fast. Durkin also made sure he got that message and he said Jimbo found him after the game. Next up on his schedule is a trip to the Tennessee/Georgia game.
