Monday Recruiting Notes - Big visits ahead
This weekend I mentioned the Aggies were hosting Harper Woods (MI) WR Dakota Guerrant this week instead of over the weekend. I can confirm he is in town in College Station today. Guerrant also has visits coming up to Miami and Oregon and he plans to get out to Ohio State and Michigan too. The Aggies along with the above schools are all on his mind when it comes to official visits and his top schools. He plans to commit in July after his official visits. The Aggies are set to host CB commit Raylaun Henry and 2028 teammate Dwayle Smith tomorrow. It will be Henry's second visit of the spring and his first since shutting down his recruitment. Dwayle has heard quite a bit about the Aggies from Henry and he already has an offer, but the trip will be his first chance to see Texas A&M in person. Over the weekend I mentioned Fort Worth (TX) North Crowley cornerback John Meredith III was planning an early April visit to College Station, and that is indeed the case. He and his family are planning to make the trip this weekend. He has spoken highly of the promotion of Bryant Gross-Armiento and this will be his first chance to watch BGA put the cornerbacks to work. It will also be the Aggies first chance to host Meredith since the fall. He already has an official visit locked in for the June 12 weekend, and he will also take official visits to Alabama, Texas, and Ohio State. He is also looking at trips to Miami and Notre Dame. The Aggies are also set to host Gilmer (TX) 2027 OL Ismael Camara this upcoming weekend. He has been in close communication with the Aggie staff as his visit schedule comes together, and things are looking good for a weekend stop in College Station. Like Meredith this will be his first chance to see the Aggies in action this spring and his first trip since the fall. He already has his Texas A&M official visit for the May 29 weekend, as well as Texas (June 5), LSU (June 12), and Oregon (June 19). He will take an OV to SMU the first week in May and he is also looking at OVs to Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, and Auburn.

2028 CB Dwayle Smith 'can't wait' to visit Aggieland this spring
2028 Baltimore (MD) St. Frances Academy CB Dwayle Smith received his Texas A&M offer last summer, and this upcoming weekend, he will be in College Station with his SFA teammate and Texas A&M commit Raylaun Henry.
A few Thursday recruiting notes and thoughts
Fort Worth (TX) North Crowley standout CB John Meredith III named his top six. Considering he has official visits scheduled to Texas A&M (June 12), Alabama (May 29), Texas (June 4), and Ohio State (June 19) it comes as no surprise they all made the cut. Joining the four are Miami and Notre Dame. He plans to visit Notre Dame this weekend and both schools have been mentioned over the last few months as programs he has been communicating with and watching closely. USC is another in that category. All things considered I still get the sense this one ends up boiling down to an in-state fight at decision time. I also still like the Aggies' chances between his familiarity with the staff, the culture of the program, Elko, and the overall pace of life in College Station. The Aggies also received some big news from Baltimore (MD) St Frances Academy 2027 All-American cornerback Raylaun Henry. He announced he was shutting down his recruitment and locking in with the Aggies. https://www.instagram.com/p/DWCIwbejaoc/One of the nation's top defensive backs from one of the nation's most recruited high school programs, Henry has attracted and continues to attract attention from college coaches, so his public declaration is quite the statement. In February, when he announced he had big news dropping in March this is what I was told to expect. He then returned to College Station in early March for the first time since his fall commitment, and he plans to return March 31 with 2028 St Frances Academy teammate Dwayle Smith who also holds a Texas A&M offer. In addition to the unofficial, he has scheduled his official visit to Texas A&M for the June 12 weekend. Henry was also mentioned by LB recruit Kaden Henderson as someone he formed a strong connection with at the Under Armour and Polynesian Bowl games. Along the offensive line, I continue to hear good things about the Aggies efforts with Gilmer (TX) standout Ismael Camara. He has not set a a spring unofficial visit date, but from what I've gathered there is a strong possibility he visits between now and early April.
