The month of June has been extremely generous to the Texas A&M football program. It’s the time of year when college football programs ramp up recruiting efforts to lock in top prospects before the 2025 season.
In the past two weeks, the Aggies have secured six verbal commitments. One of the biggest wins so far is four-star running back KJ Edwards. He’s currently ranked as a top-50 player nationally, the No. 2 RB, and the No. 5 overall prospect in Texas, per 247Sports. His addition makes A&M’s running back room one of the deepest and most dynamic heading into next season.
Edwards, a two-sport athlete, ran a sub-11-second 100-meter dash as a sophomore—bringing a much-needed burst of speed to the offense. He announced his commitment on social media and explained to On3’s Steve Wiltfong what drew him to Texas A&M:
”Just the overall genuine vibes the staff show to me and my family every time we step foot into Aggieland, we know we’re going to enjoy our day every single time. And the coaches just proving and showing how serious they are about me and letting me know I’m a game-changer and that’s what they need to win championships.”
While National Signing Day is still months away and nothing is final until ink hits paper, this is exciting news for Aggies fans, and college football social media lit up in response.
