On Wednesday, Texas A&M’s 2026 recruiting class landed its 20th and 21st commitments, as four-star tackles Avery Morcho and Zaden Krempin are locked in with the Aggies after developing a strong relationship with O-line coach Adam Cushing, who is now regarded as one of the best assistants in the country and an elite recruiter going back to his time with Northwestern and Duke.
Morcho’s focus on developing his raw skill set, paired with his elite traits, made Texas A&M the best choice for his NFL future. On the flip side, Zaden Krempin, who has been on the Aggies’ radar for quite some time, was not the favorite to land in College Station over Michigan.
Texas has led the way, but after his time at Texas A&M and his lasting bond with Cushing, the standout pass protector is a future star in the making, as coach Mike Elko has continued to successfully recruit the DFW area (Dallas, Fort Worth) compared to former head coach Jimbo Fisher’s lack of focus in the area.
Right after committing, Krempin took to social media to announce that he is “100% committed to Texas A&M” and effectively shut down his recruitment.
“I am 100% committed to Texas A&M. Thank you God for guiding me through this entire process. To my family, coaches, teammates, and friends I love you all. The hard work has just begun.”
This is significant news, knowing that Krempin is already on his way to becoming the program’s next starting left tackle, and will enter the O-line depth chart with plenty of room to develop once Cushing chooses his future position.
According to Rivals, Krempin is currently positioned as the 181st-ranked prospect in the 2026 cycle, the 20th-ranked offensive tackle, and the 26th-ranked prospect in Texas.
