Let's talk Kyle Field.At THSCA Coach's School in San Antonio, Mike Elko spoke about prioritizing gameday recruiting visits and how much of an impact Kyle Field and the 12th Man make in the Aggies' recruiting efforts"Our difference maker is Kyle Field. When you're in Kyle Field on a Saturday, your impression of Texas A&M is different."He mentioned how much he felt the Texas A&M win over Alabama in 2021 played in securing the top class in the 2022 cycle. And if you look back to the 2026 recruiting cycle you will notice several guys who made multiple gameday visits last fall.The Aggies had a great slate of home games last fall beginning with a evening match-up against Notre Dame, a lunch special blowout against Missouri, the crazy comeback with LSU, and the night game everyone had circled with the Longhorns coming to town.Each and everyone of those games delivered at a high level from an atmosphere standpoint, and recruits definitely took notice.I know in my conversations with multiple prospects, parents, and coaches I've heard over and over again about the atmosphere. When I look at how the Aggies generated the momentum for the 2026 class, the LSU game is where I see the biggest boost. You saw the commitments of Aaron Gregory and Jordan Carter that weekend, and Samu Moala announced shortly after. There was even the brief addition of TE Xavier Tiller to the class. Brandon Arrington, Tristian Givens, KJ Edwards, and Tamarion Watkins were all in attendance for the game as well. The game with the Longhorns saw Arrington, Victor Singleton, and Madden Williams to name a few. Notre Dame saw the likes Jermaine Kinsler, KJ Edwards, Avery Morcho, Tank King, and Arrington.Prospects like Bralan Womack and Tank Jones made multiple trips as well as Tristen Keys and Lamar Brown. The schedule definitely played out well from a big game atmosphere standpoint last fall, and it has paid off handsomely in the 2026 recruiting cycle.**********Buford (GA) S Nassir McCoy named the Aggies a finalist as he approaches his July 25 decision, but in talking with a few sources I do not see the Aggies being factor here. He did visit in the spring and he is the teammate of Texas A&M commit Bryce Perry-Wright, but he did not take an official visit this summer and both parties have prioritized other options. Texas A&M added commits from Chance Collins and Tylan Wilson, while McCoy visited Ole Miss and scheduled trips to Georgia and Miami. He announces his decision July 25 at 6 pm with a Georgia, Miami, Michigan, and Ole Miss joining the Aggies in his top five. I look for him to head elsewhere**********Yesterday the Aggies saw the departure of 2027 WR commit George Lamons Jr of Quitman (GA) Brooks County. Like I said then, he remains a guy to keep on the radar.***********So what's next?As I mentioned last week the Aggies are down to a few uncommitted targetsWaukee (IA) TE Evan Jacobson, Mobile (AL) edge Tank Jones, and Leakesville (MS) WR Jase Mathews are the main ones to watch. To a lesser extent there is five-star S Bralan Womack, and OL, DL, and WR are a few areas I expect the Aggies to continue to evaluateAlso keep an eye on the 2027 class with Valdosta (GA) Lowndes QB Jayce Johnson planning to announce his decision on August 3. He has the Aggies in his top schools along with Tennessee, South Carolina, Mississippi State, and Florida State.

On Friday evening, Mike Elko and the Fightin' Texas Aggies received their 26th commitment in the class of 2026 as Pascagoula (MS) safety Tylan Wilson picked the Maroon & White over the likes of Clemson and Arkansas.

Mike Elko & Co. dip into the Magnolia State for the commitment of Pascagoula (MS) safety Tylan Wilson as he becomes the 26th member of A&M's 2026 class. Following Wilson's announcement, the TexAgs Recruiting crew analyzes the newest Fightin' Texas Aggies.
