Jaylen Addai

TexAgs' senior recruiting analyst Jason Howell joined TexAgs Live on Wednesday morning for another edition of Recruiting Country presented by American Momentum Bank, highlighting the latest news and notes from the recruiting and transfer portal trail surrounding Texas A&M.

2028 Shadow Creek WR Jaylen Addai will be one of the more recruited athletes coming out of the Houston area the next few years. On Sunday, he competed at the Rivals Camp in Houston, and afterward, he spoke to TexAgs about his thoughts on Texas A&M and more.

On Sunday, Rivals held one of their regional camps in Houston, Texas at C.E. King High School and it turned out to be one of the more stacked camps I've been to in my time at TexAgs. The UC Report does a really good job at evaluating recruits for these invite-only events and it makes for some great content on our end. Over the course of the event, I was able to speak to multiple in-state Aggie offers and targets and was able to gather some nice intel. I want to start with the only Aggie commit in attendance, Cy Falls EDGE Kaden McCarty who really impressed over the course of the day. He looked athletic and agile going through position drills and held his own during one-on-ones. There was some noise circling around that Texas had turned up the heat and was trying to strengthen their relationship with the north Houston pass-rusher. I interviewed him after the camp where he went on about his loyalty to the Aggies and explained what has put them in such a good position to gain his signature. I strongly suggest giving that a listen below. https://texags.com/s/74377/aggie-commit-kaden-mccarty-spoke-about-his-loyalty-to-am2027 Cy Falls EDGE and Texas A&M commit Kaden McCarty @5star_kaden | @CyFallsFB | @TA_Recruiting pic.twitter.com/wH3iKhV2RB— Cade Draughon (@Cade_Draughon) March 8, 2026 2027 Cy Falls EDGE and Texas A&M commit Kaden McCarty @5star_kaden | @CyFallsFB | @TA_Recruiting pic.twitter.com/9sLqd4wCtl— Cade Draughon (@Cade_Draughon) March 8, 2026 North Forney WR Briceson Thrower is a big-bodied pass-catcher that was in attendance who has been high on offensive coordinator Holomon Wiggins' board for a while now. He has an OV set to the Aggies for the weekend of May 28th with other visits set to Texas Tech (Jun. 5th), Illinois (Jun. 12th), and Texas (Jun. 15th). I will have a full audio interview with him coming out tomorrow morning. 2027 North Forney WR and Aggie target Briceson Thrower @briceson_jr | @NFHS_FALCONS | @TA_Recruiting pic.twitter.com/IhNUsQ9Ixz— Cade Draughon (@Cade_Draughon) March 8, 2026 Hutto ATH Jaiden Fields is one of the best prospects in Central Texas and a two-way star for the Hippos that earned an offer to the Aggies after a stellar 7 on 7 performance last summer. He competed at DB at the camp, but is being recruited to the Aggies as a playmaking wide receiver. His OV is set for the weekend of May 28th and also has visits to TCU (Jun. 11th) and SMU (Jun. 5th). When I spoke to him afterwards he talked highly of Coach Elko and said he had to get a visit locked in after seeing how much he liked the atmosphere at Kyle Field. Langham Creek LB Jhadyn Nelson has blown up across recruiting circles over the last few months and as of a few weeks ago it seemed like the Aggies were on the outside looking in. He gave me his OV schedule at Shock Doctor which did not include the Aggies, but over the past few weeks, linebackers coach Travis Williams has picked up communication. Nelson will be in Aggieland tomorrow to check out the campus and based on how that visit goes, there could be an OV in the works. On the south side of the city, Shadow Creek is always a program to watch filled with talent at every position. CB Brandon Sherrard is among the best on the Shark's roster and will be making a spring practice visit on March 22nd. It sounds like that visit will be another one to watch as he told me an OV is certainly a possibility. Right now, he has OVs set up to Arizona State (Apr. 17th), Texas (Jun. 5th), and LSU (Jun. 12th). 2028 WR Jaylen Addai is another Shark prospect to watch as I highlighted in my Battle 7 on 7 recap. I will have a full audio interview with him dropping tomorrow morning.2028 Shadow Creek WR Jaylen Addai @JaylenAddai | @SCSharkFootball | @TA_Recruiting pic.twitter.com/W7oOmOxq1v— Cade Draughon (@Cade_Draughon) March 8, 2026 A name we haven't talked about much in the Houston area is 2028 Dekaney RB Christopher Chizer Jr, who earned his offer from the Aggies about a year ago after winning the RB MVP at the Houston Under Armour Camp last spring. He said he still talks to running backs coach Trooper Taylor regularly and plans to visit Aggieland over the summer and for a gameday in the fall. He mentioned Texas Tech and Tulane as other schools standing out.
