Tristen Keys

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 discussed Texas A&M's visitors this weekend, the first round of the playoffs and more.

Here's what we've got. Hang with us through Saturday for additions/subtractions.CommitsMidlothian OL Nelson McGuire - *Official Visit*Hitchcock WR Kelshaun Johnson A&M Consolidated K Colton Chmelar Bellaire Episcopal DS Gray Evans 2026 Calypso (NC) North Duplin DT Trashawn Ruffin Targets/Prospects2025Mesquite Horn OL Lamont Rogers - Mizzou commitCleveland (OH) Shaker Heights S Trey McNutt III - Oregon commitSpring Dekaney ATH Nick Townsend - Texas commit2026North Forney ATH Legend Bey Waco Connally ATH Jamarion Vincent Klein OL Nicolas Robertson Hattiesburg (MS) WR Tristen Keys Pompano Beach (FL) Monarch WR Jabari Brady Bellflower (CA) St John Bosco WR Madden Williams Las Vegas (NV) Bishop Gorman DT James Carrington Prosper DL Jake Johnson Carrollton (GA) CB Dorian Barney Pascagoula (MS) S Tylan Wilson Eau Gallie (FL) S Xavier Lherisse 2027San Antonio Roosevelt OL Kaeden Scott Shadow Creek RB Tristan Willis Katy Seven Lakes RB Braylon Hayes Cedar Hill RB Juelz Carter Tyler Tyler High RB Cadarius McMiller Copperas Cove RB KJ Zeigler Tomball Memorial WR Jacob Bedizel Crandall WR Jeremiah Douglas Cy Falls DE James Harris Frisco Panther Creek LB Justin Warren Cy Ranch CB Jacob Lee Red Oak CB Dhillon McGee2028Waller QB Tristin Gaines Klein Oak RB Micah Rhodes Lewisville OL Maxx Jones

Yesterday we mentioned DL Trashawn Ruffin and CB Dorian Barney as big visitors and we have been able to get a few more big confirmations.Texas A&M commitsOL Nelson McGuire, Midlothian (TX) OVDL Trashawn Ruffin, Calypso (NC) North Duplin - 20262026sWR Jabari Brady, Pompano Beach (FL) MonarchWR Tristen Keys, Hattiesburg (MS)DL James Carrington, Las Vegas (NV) Bishop GormanCB Dorian Barney, Carrollton (GA)S Tylan Wilson, Pascagoula (MS)ATH Legend Bey, Forney (TX) North ForneyAs always we will post a full list of confirmations as we get closer to game day but as you can see there several top talents are planning to be in Aggieland this weekend. Here's a few notes on the guys Jabari Brady checks in at 6-2, 190 with offers from across the country. He visited for the Bowling Green game so this will be his second trip of the season. Tristen Keys is another big underclassman receiver regarded as one of the nation's best at 6-3, 185 and offers from across the country. He received his Texas A&M offer in May and he was in College Station as the Aggies hosted LSU.DL James Carrington has been on college radars since his eighth grade year. The Aggies offered him in March of 2022 under Jimbo Fisher. He has grown into one of the nation's top prospects at 6-2, 270 as a standout for powerhouse Bishop Gorman.Excited to be in College Station on 11/16, where are those Aggie Fans @‼️ #Aggieland #Defense #SEC #TexasAM ‼️ Thanks Coach Chaos 4 Believing in Me💪🏽 pic.twitter.com/fIm4phO0nU— James “TANK” Carrington (@James_BigTank) October 27, 2024 S Tylan Wilson checks in at 6-3, 175 and he is another top prospect from Mississippi already holding several offers. The Aggies offered in September.ATH Legend Bey is making a return trip to College Station, he visited earlier this fall for the McNeese State game. He does not currently have a Texas A&M offer, but he has been an electric playmaker at QB for North Forney. He already holds several offers and many have come as an ATH/WR/RB/playmaker. In the past he has been pretty adamant about being a quarterback and he does have some very intriguing tools. *********On a different note here's a little transfer portal talk. Brauny addressed the Johntay Cook topic today in Recruiting Country on TexAgs Live but we wanted to drop a little note too since it has been such a hot topic. First, Cook has yet to officially enter the portal but we do expect the Aggies as well as many others to do their due diligence to figure out whether or not they will pursue. To say Texas A&M is definitely out or that he is definitely a take would be premature at this time. From our discussions with different sources we do expect him to have several opportunities. Whether those opportunities will include the Aggies is yet to be seen, but the Aggies do have plenty of beneficial connections if they decide to pursue.
