Tuesday Recruiting Notes
Red Oak wide receiver Taz Williams set a decision date for July 13 and Texas A&M, Michigan, Penn State, and SMU are his finalists. He will visit Texas A&M this weekend for his official visit and he has visits scheduled the next two weekends to Penn State (June 14) and Michigan (June 21). He has already taken his official visit to SMU.July 13th @ Red oak High school pic.twitter.com/hnbe4u9ueo— 𝑇𝑎𝑧 𝑊𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑎𝑚$ 𝐽𝑟 (@Taz_1x) June 5, 2024
The Aggies also made the cut for La Verne (CA) Bonita LB Noah Mikhail who announced his top three of Texas A&M, Oregon, and USC. He will return to College Station for his official visit the weekend of June 21, and he has OVs scheduled to USC (June 7) and Oregon (June 14). He will announce his decision on Sunday, June 30.2nd Timothy 1:7. . .

Earlier this morning I mentioned there was some Wisconsin momentum building with Albuquerque (NM) La Cueva LB Mason Posa, and that continues to be the case. He is coming off his OV to Madison and the Badgers staff has given him the full court press. He is currently scheduled to OV to A&M next weekend (June 14), but right now I get the feeling the Badgers are the team to beat. He is also considering Oregon. As I stated earlier today. I felt like this was going to be a two-man off-the-ball LB class with one more top prospect joining Kelvion Riggins. I still get that sense and right now I like the Aggies' chances the most with Mikhail right now. The Aggies hosted a couple of big DL over the weekend Palatine (IL) DL Jaylen Williams arrived for his unofficial on Friday while Tampa (FL) Robinson DE Jesse Harrold arrived on Sunday. It was Williams first trip to College Station, and it was his second plane ride. He took in all the sights and spent some quality time around the staff. The returns I've heard from his visit have been positive, and the next step is trying to get him back for an OV.Had a Great time in College station for my unofficial visit this past weekend!!! Go aggies!!Thank you @SpenceChaos @CoachBateman @CoachBather @AggieFootball @CoachMikeElko @JoshBostick8 @EDGYTIM @AllenTrieu @PHS_Football @ChadSimmons_ @TonyJerodEddie @adamgorney @ShaunCookFB pic.twitter.com/0895TLVGDZ— Jaylen williams ✞ (@jay_williams55) June 3, 2024
If the Aggies can make that happen look for the possibilities to get real on that front. Right now, I am hearing a lot of Tennessee talk with Miami and Nebraska also very much in the mix. All three currently have OVs scheduled. Purdue is another to watch there. I also hear the Aggies gave Harrold quite a bit to think about. LSU, UCF, Illinois, and Colorado are also squarely in the mix there. He currently has OVs scheduled to Illinois (June 7), UCF (June 12), LSU (June 14), and Texas A&M (June 21).

A few notes from the weekend
Everything i'm hearing is the Aggies made a strong impression on both 2026 DL/OL Lamar Brown and 2025 DL Jaylen Williams.Brown wasn't planning to do camp but jumped into the mix and blew it out water. He actually out jumped the vertical jump deal. He made the trip with his family and it sounds like the Aggies led by coaches TJE and coach Chaos and Mason Smith really did a phenomenal job making an impression.He could play DL or OL and i was told by multiple people he is a no doubt 5-star.Williams took his first trip to A&M and his second plane ride, and I'm told the visit to A&M did not disappoint. It sound like the Aggies have made themselves a real player for the Palestine (IL) standout DE.Another quick note, the Aggies are hosting another big time DE in Tampa (FL) Robinson DE Jesse Harrold. He is in town for an unofficial and looks primed to return on an OV later.
