This weekend, Texas A&M is currently hosting 12 prospects in the 2026 and 2027 recruiting class, with a focus on the 2026 cycle, as coach Mike Elko and his staff have already landed 18 commits in the class, including several prospects who are poised to rise in the rankings by the end of the year.
Finding talent early has been an impressive feat by the coaching staff, including landing three-star QB/ATH Kaeden Johnson, who is slated to play tight end at the next level, and could be on the same trajectory as Vanderbilt standout TE Eli Stowers, who was once a backup quarterback for the Aggies four year ago.
While 2026 five-star edge Bryce Perry-Wright and five-star Tristian Givens, and recent five-star cornerback commit Brandon Arrington are the priority visitors this weekend, three-star offensive tackle Aaron Thomas is one of the aforementioned rising prospects in the cycle. He is also taking his official visit to College Station this weekend.
Standing at 6-7 and 300 pounds, the only reason Thomas is considered a three-star prospect is due to his late switch to the offensive line after playing primarily on the D-line until his junior season. Thomas possesses the physical traits to become a starting tackle in the SEC and is a fluid mover in pass protection with great footwork and notable balance.
Thomas is a work in progress like most three-star prospects. On Saturday, the Arizona native revealed his commitment date, slated for Wednesday, June 25, as he will choose between Ohio State, Florida State, Texas, Washington, and Texas A&M.
Thomas has yet to receive an official prediction to land with any of the five programs listed, but it’s safe to say that after official visits to Ohio State, Florida State, and now Texas A&M, all three are considered potential landing spots.
According to 247Sports, Thomas is currently positioned as the 50th-ranked offensive tackle and the 8th-ranked prospect in Arizona.
