Top prospects locking in Texas A&M visits
Official visit plans are being made by prospects across the country and Texas A&M coaches have been busy. Several commitments have confirmed their visit plansQB Jayce Johnson will take his official visit the weekend of May 29, while OL Kaeden Scott, CB Raylaun Henry, and safeties Kamarui Dorsey and JayQuan Snell have locked in the weekend of June 12. Orlando (FL) Jones EDG Frederick Ards III confirmed his June 12 OV early on, and over the weekend Cade Draughon confirmed Leesburg (GA) Lee County OL Shavezz Dixon will take his official visit the weekend of June 12. Olney (MD) Good Counsel EDG Anthony Sweeney also reports he will visit that weekend.Gilmer (TX) OL Ismael Camara has had a visit locked in for the end of May for a couple of weeks now, and Leesburg (GA) Lee County WR Jaden Upshaw plans to be in town for the weekend. Loganville (GA) Grayson OL Jordan Agbanoma who recently named the Aggies in his top five also confirmed plans to OV to College Station at the end of May along with trips to Nebraska (June 5-7), Florida (June 11-13), Georgia (June 19-21), and Miami to be determined. Englewood (CO) Cherry Creek OL Jackson Roper plans to return to College Station for spring practice on March 28, and he has also locked in official visit plans for Aggieland the weekend of June 5-6. DeSoto (TX) RB SaRod Baker has not locked in any official visits but the Aggies are up there on his list with Trooper Taylor and Mike Elko making a strong impression. He has told us in the past he plans to visit this spring.Ruston (LA) TE Ahmad Hudson was planning to visit January 24, and he says he does not yet have a date for a return but he is looking for a date. Raylaun Henry also tells us he has locked in plans to return on March 31 and Dorsey is trying to return for multiple trips. On another note, in the past I have talked up A&M's chances with Denton (TX) Guyer DE Zane Rowe, but right now I am not feeling great about those chances. I am not sure where I would predict him to land, but right now I am hearing things are trending away.********Texas A&M official visits May 29-31QB Jayce Johnson, Valdosta (GA) LowndesEDG Kaden McCarty, Houston (TX) Cy FallsWR Eric McFarland, Las Vegas (NV)/IMG AcademyWR Briceson Thrower, Forney (TX) North ForneyWR Jaden Upshaw, Leesburg (GA) Lee CountyOL Jordan Agbanoma, Loganville (GA) GraysonOL Ismael Camara, Gilmer (TX)ATH Jaiden Fields, Hutto (TX)*******June 5-7DL Elijah Patmon, Warner Robins (GA) NorthsideCB Hakim Frampton, San Antonio (TX) BrandeisRB SaRod Baker, DeSoto (TX)WR Damani Warren, Las Vegas (NV) Arbor ViewOL Kennedy Brown, Kingwood (TX)OL Jackson Roper, Engelwood (CO) Cherry CreekEDG Jabarrius Garror, Mobile (AL) Vigor - Alabama commitLB Ja'Bios Smith, Swainsboro (GA)*******June 12-14OL DeMarrion Johnson, Tyler (TX) LegacyOL Kaeden Scott, San Antonio (TX) RooseveltCB Raylaun Henry, Baltimore (MD) St. Frances AcademyS Kamarui Dorsey, Hampton (GA)S JayQuan Snell, Waxahachie (TX)WR Tre Moore, Pflugerville (TX) WeissOL Shavezz Dixon, Leesburg (GA) Lee CountyEDG Frederick Ards III, Orlando (FL) JonesEDG Anthony Sweeney, Olney (MD) Good Counsel

Ags well-positioned for another solid offensive group in 2027
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.
