Texas A&M already has a quarterback and two offensive linemen committed in the class of 2027, but Mike Elko & Co. are drawing interest from many of the nation's top running backs, receivers, tight ends and offensive linemen as the 2027s take over in the spotlight.

The Texas A&M staff continues to hit the roads and check in with top prospects. One of those recently visited was Olney (MD) Good Counsel All American EDG Anthony Sweeney. The Aggies have been a strong contender. He visited in October for the Mississippi State game and Aggieland made a strong impression. "It's a special place," Sweeney said. The Aggies recently made his top 12 Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Maryland, Miami, Ole Miss, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas Tech, and he is making plans to get back out to College Station. "I'll be back out there for a spring practice, early to mid-March," Sweeney said. Texas A&M is also scheduled to get an official visit. He also has officials locked in with Alabama, LSU, South Carolina, and Tennessee. **********Orlando (FL) Jones EDG Frederick Ards III was one of two prospects who made it to campus over the weekend, and if that was not enough, he was also visited by Mike Elko earlier this week.Texas A&M Head Coach Mike Elko in the building. @AggieFootball pic.twitter.com/9agggp4z5y— Jones Tigers Football (@JonesHSFootball) January 26, 2026 The Aggies also made his top five along with Alabama, Florida, Florida State, and South Carolina, and he has plans to get back to College Station soon. "I'll be back for spring practice," Ard said. **********Loganville (GA) Grayson OL Jordan Agbanoma also saw the Aggies stop by.Thanks @AggieFootball for the visit! #GigEm @grayson_fb @CoachMikeElko @CoachCushing @HolmonWiggins @allenliberty @904OL @CoachCarswell @CoachDmackey @CoachWiz77 pic.twitter.com/c6mBoqglc6— Jordan Agbanoma 4⭐️OL (@JordanAg78) January 27, 2026 "It's great getting to chat with the coaches again in person, it really means a lot," Agbanoma said. The 6-4, 295-pound lineman visited College Station in September for the Aggies' match-up with Florida, and he is making plans to return this spring in either March or April. "I'm attracted to the culture, coaches, and the development they have there," Agbanoma said. He recently participated in both the Under Armour All-American game and the Polynesian Bowl. **********A few more stops Haymarket (VA) Battlefield All-American LB Noah Glover He visited College Station for the first time for the Lone Star Elite Day on January 17.
