Texas A&M lands commitment from Westlake Village (CA) DT Victory Vaka

Texas A&M just keeps rolling along on the recruiting front. On Monday they added their first defensive tackle commitment to the class of 2021 as Westlake Village (CA) standout Victory Vaka‍ gave his verbal pledge to Jimbo Fisher and Company. 

Widely considered one of the best defensive line prospects on the entire West Coast, Vaka chose the Aggies over offers from major programs across America. Ultimately, he narrowed down his choices to A&M, Michigan, Oregon, Florida and Florida State before picking the Maroon & White. 

At 6-4, 320 pounds, Vaka is a stout kid whose shear strength pops off the screen when watching his tape. His ability to shed blockers means he’s a consistently disruptive force at the line of scrimmage. He plays with advanced leverage and technique for a high school defensive tackle. He’s a true interior guy that’s built to plug gaps and be a problem for opposing ground games. You can view his junior tape below.

Overall, this is the Aggies’ seventh commitment of the 2021 class and the third in the last week, joining Brooklyn (NY) DE Jahzion Harris‍ and Charlotte (NC) LB Kaci Seegars‍.
