New (way) OOS linebacker offer
As you've seen throughout the past few days, the Aggies have taken their 2019 linebacker search national and plan to scour the country for elite-level help at the position. On Sunday, Tim Brewster decided that simply recruiting the continental 48 wasn't quite thorough enough, as the Ags extended an offer to Honolulu, Hawaii standout Maninoa Tufono. The 6-3, 225-pounder from powerhouse Punahou High School is drawing interest from across the country but actually reached out to the Aggies recently. He's very interested in playing in the SEC so will be one to watch over the course of the upcoming cycle. Current offer least features pretty much the entire Pac-12, A&M, Florida, LSU, Notre Dame, Texas and several other big-name programs.Little to no doubt in my mind that we're going to see Jimbo Fisher and the Aggies ink a couple of out-of-state linebackers who go four stars or better in 2019. In my opinion, the fact that Tufono actually reached out to the Ags makes this one worth mentioning in a separate post. He's as good as you're going to find in the country this year.

Aggies fire out LB offers across the country
If you read my update earlier today, I hinted at a national search for linebackers in 2019 because of the thin in state crop. Throughout the day, A&M has offered seven linebackers spanning from Georgia to Hawaii. Here's who has reported offers so far...Halawa (HI) LB Maninoa Tufono Concord (CA) LB Henry To'oto'o New Smyrna Beach (FL) LB Jaleel McRae Nashville (TN) LB Kane Patterson LaGrange (GA) LB Joko Willis Bellflower (CA) LB Spencer Lytle St Louis (MO) LB Shammond Cooper I'd bet the Ags get a good bit of those on campus at some point too. I believe they'll sign 3 guys at linebacker after missing out in the 2018 group.

TexAgs National Average Rating

The TexAgs National Average Rating is a proprietary formula that calculates an industry-wide aggregate rating for each recruiting prospect. The formula includes publicly listed grades, scores, ratings and rankings by national recruiting services, along with a TexAgs rating. Combining the data provides a rating for each prospect, which is then normalized to fit the TexAgs Rating 100-point scale.

The intent of this rating is to provide TexAgs readers with a comprehensive snapshot of how individual prospects rank nationally.

TexAgs Rating

The TexAgs Recruiting team of Billy Liucci, David Sandhop, Jason Howell, Ryan Brauninger and a host of recruiting interns attends more than 75 games each fall and observes and evaluates every major Texas A&M target, as well as most of the top 150 prospects in the State of Texas. From this evaluation the team draws a rating for each prospect on a scale between 70 and 100.

99-100: Elite national prospect (Five-star)

Considered one of the best prospects in the nation and a likely difference-maker at the collegiate level. Displays all of the physical skills to be a future All-American with potential to be an early-round NFL draft pick.

90-98: Elite state prospect (Four-star)

Considered one of the best 30-40 prospects in the state and a top 250 national prospect. Displays the physical skills to be a major early contributor at the collegiate level with high professional potential.

80-89: Quality prospect (Three-star)

Considered one of the best 100 prospects in the state and a top 500 national prospect. Displays the physical skills to develop into a contributor over the course of his college career. Has the ability to become a professional prospect over time with development.

70-79: Solid prospect (Two-star)

Considered one of the top 250 prospects in the state. Has the physical skills to be a potential contributor at a D-1 program over the course of his collegiate career with significant development. Professional potential is low.

Staff Predictions

The predictions represent which school each staff member believes will ultimately sign the recruit, and the confidence meter represents his level of certainty in that outcome.

Example #1

If the predicted school is Texas A&M and confidence is set to “High”, then the staff member is saying “I believe that this recruit will ultimately sign with Texas A&M and I feel very certain about that.”

Example #2

If the predicted school is “Alabama” and confidence is set to “Low,” then the staff member is saying “I believe that this recruit will ultimately sign with Alabama, but I’m not very certain about that.”
