Texas A&M has had no problem generating recruiting momentum under Mike Elko, and the Aggies continue to hit big on a national level as one of the nation’s best has declared his Texas A&M decision.

2027 IMG Academy edge defender Zyron Forstall‍ has established himself as a disruptive force in the trenches. At 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds, he is a violent presence on the edge of the defensive line, whether he is coming out of a two-point or three-point stance. His first step is explosive. He extends and shows powerful hands, and he finishes with authority.

Originally from New Orleans, he planted himself on college radars as a standout at Jesuit in 2024 before making the move to IMG Academy in 2025. As a sophomore, he posted 30 tackles, 16 TFLs and 13 sacks for the Blue Jays with a five sack performance against Brother Martin. He followed up the sophomore effort with a strong junior showing at IMG, recording 28 tackles, nine TFLs and a team-leading five sacks in eight games. Following the season, he played in the Under Armour All-American game and the Polynesian Bowl.

Forstall is the Aggies’ 11th commitment of the 2027 recruiting class and joins a strong group of front-seven defenders, which includes Myels Smith‍, Elijah Patmon‍ and Kaden McCarty‍.

In addition to the Aggies, he held scholarship offers from the likes of Alabama, Florida, LSU, Ohio State, Oregon, Texas, USC and many more across the country.

His highlights look like the kind of monster DE Elko prefers. Quick feet, good speed and mobility, good size, good aggression and SWARM mentality. Plenty of upside for this prospect.

I never saw his highlights before. Reminds one of Myles when I first saw his high school highlights. He looks like a natural. I respect his decision very much.

ERob doin work again. Getting in on IMG elite recruits is a tall, tall order. Only the very best recruiters (and $$) get a chance with IMG's stars.

Oh they're still out there. They crawl out from under their rocks as soon as the team hits a bump in the road (sip game, Miami game), clamoring that they were right all along and that Elko was horrible hire.

Based on total points (232), we're now ranked #2 behind only OU (278) in the 247 Sports 2027 team rankings (link below). OU's ranking is based on 20 players whereas we have only 11. This works out to an average of 95.1 for us versus 92.2 for OU. None of the other ranked teams average over 94. It's obviously still early but these average recruit numbers remind me of what Alabama used to put together. Pretty impressive.
