Texas A&M's 2027 defensive haul is in an ideal spot entering spring
Seven of Texas A&M's 10 commitments in the class of 2027 are on the defensive side of the ball, and as the spring approaches, Mike Elko and the Aggies have put themselves in a position to go big-game hunting at a number of positions.
Around Texas: A round-up of recruiting news in the Lone Star State
Around the state of Texas, decisions are being made, visits are being taken and offers are being extended as recruiting never stops in this great state. It is time to take a look at the latest happenings on the Lone Star State recruiting front.
Mike Elko and Staff on the road
Much of the attention has been on the transfer portal but Texas A&M staff including Elko has been on the road checking in at top high schools and with top prospects. I have been able to confirm a few recent stops around DFW and from what I've gathered they are out checking in with many in the 2027 and 2028 classes. I can confirm Waxahachie was on the schedule with Texas A&M commit JayQuan Snell and offers out to EDG Sedrick Marsh and 2028 DL Aaron Snell. JayQuan has confirmed his plans to attend Junior Day the next weekend (January 24). It is a safe bet North Crowley will get a visit. The Aggies not only have recent transfer John Meredith III high on the priority list, but there are also Texas A&M offers out to 2027 TE Jeramie Cooper, 2027 S Elijajuan Houston, and 2028 WRs Damarion Mays and Hayden Green. South Oak Cliff saw coaches through the door, with plenty of A&M eyes on 2027 OL Brian Swanson. The standout has talked highly of the Aggies and I have confirmed he plans to be in College Station for Junior Day on January 24. DeSoto is always a must stop, Cedar Hill, I've heard a stop through Denton Guyer is in the works, and I was told North Forney home of WR Briceson Thrower was recently visited the Aggie staff. Busy, busy times.
