Texas A&M coach Mike Elko and his staff have veered their complete focus to the 2027 recruiting class, already landing 12 commitments, now including five-star offensive lineman Kennedy Brown, who announced his commitment last Sunday afternoon.
Right now, most of the news has surrounded the Aggies’ recent prediction to land five-star tackle Mark Matthews, who recently visited with the A&M coaching staff this week, which was deemed “extremely successful” based on AggieYell insider Jaxson Callaway’s reporting.
However, Miami is still attempting to keep Matthews in Florida, but right now, all the momentum is with the Aggies. Around the rest of the 2027 class, including four-star linebacker Kaden Henderson, who recently spoke highly about the coaching staff’s ability to develop after sending a record ten players to the 2026 NFL Draft.
According to Callaway’s recent update, among the eight 2027 prospects mentioned, Texas A&M is in a “strong position” to land six of the prospects named, including five-star cornerback Josh Dobson, after fellow five-star CB John Meredith received a prediction to land with the Texas Longhorns, while the Aggies are still in the running coming down his official visit next month.
Among the six prospects who Callaway believes will end up committing to Texas A&M in the coming months, running back Landen Williams-Callis is not a “lock” by any means, but after receiving an early prediction to land in College Station, the blue-chip back still looks like the Aggies’ next RB commit.
Lastly, after landing four-star wide receiver Jaden Upton, the Aggies are looking to lock down incoming IMG Academy senior and five-star prospect Eric McFarland, who will take his official visit to College Station later next month, while new OC and former WR coach Holmon Wiggins has played a significant role in his recruitment.
After landing Kennedy Brown, if the Aggies can secure Mark Matthews’ commitment, five-star IOL Albert Simien is another name to watch as a potential favorite to choose A&M.
