Recruiting Rankings Update: Mid-summer moves in 2026, 2027 & 2028
The summer is heating up as the offseason has reached its dog days, so it's time for our recruiting team at TexAgs to update the player rankings within the great state of Texas. Updates were made to the 2026 and 2028 lists, with a "watchlist" being established for 2028.
State 7-on-7 Tournament Thread
The Texas State 7-on-7 Tournament begins today at Veteran's Park in College Station. In terms of prospects on the A&M radar in the upcoming senior class, this is as light of a field as I can ever remember. Still, our team will be on sight throughout the weekend to get a look at the names that are on Mike Elko's big board as well as the players that are beginning to emerge on recruiting radars across the region. The small schools start this morning at 10 am. Their playoffs will begin early tomorrow before the larger classification starts their pool play in the afternoon with that bracket taking place on Saturday.Here's a list of players to watch as compiled by Jason Howell:Texas A&M offersDeSoto - WR Boobie Feaster - 2027 RB Myson Johnson-Cook Crandall- 2027 WR Jeremiah Douglas Argyle Liberty Christian- 2027 LB Cooper Witten Hutto- 2027 WR Jaiden Fields Tyler- 2027 WR Trey Haralson Colleyville Heritage- 2028 WR Dez Bryant Jr Lewisville - 2027 CB Taelyn Mayo Waco Midway - 2027 RB Lathan Whisenton Pflugerville Weiss- 2027 WR Tre Moore Argyle- 2027 WR Julian Caldwell Bastrop- 2027 QB Weston Nielsen Longview- 2028 WR Jaden Hurndon El Paso Pebble Hills- 2029 TE Noah Tarrant Manvel- 2027 CB Karnell James Shadow Creek- 2027 CB Brandon Sherrard Frisco Panther Creek- ATH Jalen Lott - S Donovan Webb Willis - ATH Jermaine Bishop - Texas commitGrand Oaks- QB Grant Smith Other Notables - 2026QB Jack Daulton, The Woodlands - TCU commitQB Kase Evans , Lexington - Oklahoma St commitRB HD Davis, Wolfe City - Kansas St commitRB Christian Rhodes, Dallas Lake Highlands - SMU commitWR Jabarie Thornton, Waco La Vega - Oklahoma St commitWR Chris Stewart, Shadow Creek - Texas commitTE Braden Bach, Argyle - TCU commitLB Kailer Pettijohn, AnnaLB Jamarion Phillips - South Oak Cliff - Baylor commitCB Marcell Gipson Jr - South Oak Cliff - Clemson commitCB Jason Bradford, Temple - TCU commitS Markel Ford, DeSoto - SMU commitS Yaheim Riley, Austin Anderson - Texas commitS Bradley Brown, Plano - TCU commitATH Lakeyleon Graves - Kilgore2027QB Jaxon Blancett - LorenaRB SaRod Baker, DeSotoRB Derrick Martin, Lewisville RB Cadarius McMiller, Tyler HighWR Isaac Stinson - Bay CityWR Aden Starling, Shadow Creek - Houston commitWR Tim Moore, Van AlstyneS Aiden Evans, LewisvilleS Aston Whiteside, Lucas Lovejoy ATH Terian Maxie, TrinityATH Isaiah Reed, Hamshire-Fannett2028QB Tristin Gaines, WallerQB Jaxon Schad, Pflugerville WeissWR Tylan Henderson, Pflugerville Weiss 2029WR Cor'mond Houston, Anna

Highlights: Allen tops Lewisville in physical first-round battle, 17-3
On Friday at Eagle Stadium, the Allen Eagles topped the Lewisville Farmers 17-3 in a physical playoff matchup. Defense and special teams played a big role in the contest, with both teams coming through in clutch moments, but Allen was able to pull away in the end.
DFW Recruiting Notes
Texas A&M has been very active in DFW and March 30 looks like a busy weekend with Mesquite Horn standout OL Lamont Rogers, Lewisville OL Michael Fasusi, and Denton Guyer DL Xavier Ukponu all planning to be College Station that day.In the 2026 class Prosper (TX) OL Zaden Krempin tells me he will return to College Station for an April 6 visit. I spoke to a few sources on Fasusi and the Aggies continue to do great work there. Elko and Cushing continue to make a strong impression and as noted by his visit he continues to take a long look at the Aggies. When it comes to leaders I do not know if he is ready to declare anything just yet, but I expect Oklahoma and Texas are going to be prime competitors. He likes the idea of playing in the SEC, his relationship with the coaches is a big thing for him, and I am told the ability to compete for a championship is also something high on his priority list. Missouri really impressed him on his visit before the dead period and Oregon is another school he has shown a lot of interest. Fasusi went home sick yesterday, so I missed him when I dropped by the school, but I was able to see quite a few top prospects. If you are looking for potential Texas A&M targets, CB Dylan Davis (6-0, 170) and DL Xavier Fleming (6-1, 270) are a couple of 2026s who could end up on Texas A&M's radar. Davis got a lot of great reps and has the tools that could see him grow and develop into a top tier prospect over time. Fleming was named district Defensive Newcomer of the Year last year. He tallied 51 tackles as an interior DL and he also plays for the Lewisville basketball team.It is the class of 2027 though which has people around the program buzzing. There is a lot of young talent and several are already picking up scholarship offers. ATH Derrick Martin (5-9, 165) plays RB, WR, CB, and as a return man. He already holds offers from Ole Miss, Colorado State, and UNT. QB Tre Williams (6-0, 185) holds offers from Arizona St, Coloado St, Texas St, and UNLV. ATH Aiden Evans (5-11, 165) is making a name for himself as an electric athlete who makes plays at WR and DB. He currently holds offers from Colorado St and UNTWR Landon Bogany (6-2, 193) is a big physical receiver and he recently received his first offer from UNT. WR Deontae Weathers (6-0, 160) and ATH Devin Robinson (5-10, 160) are a couple more in the 2027 class to watch.Lancaster (TX) wide receiver Emmanuel Choice is one guy we have not talked much about, but he is a guy to put on your radar. He checks in at 6-5, 200 and he is one long, fluid athlete at WR. His quick feet and ability to get in and out of his breaks is unique for a guy that size. He quickly tracks the ball and adjusts his body and his long arms give him a big catch radius. The Aggies offered in December and area recruiter Tony Jerod-Eddie and wide receivers coach Holmon Wiggins have been leading the Aggies efforts. Oklahoma was one of the first on him and right now I'd give the Sooners the edge. TCU is also coming on strong, and he also visited Texas before the dead period.He has been in regular contact with the Aggies since receiving the offer and it looks like the prospects are promising of him making his first Aggieland visit this spring.
