Now ranked ninth in the nation, Texas A&M is set to host three consecutive SEC games at Kyle Field, and recruits are starting to flock to Aggieland for recruiting weekends. The upcoming matchup with Auburn could be the first of a number of big visitor lists for Mike Elko & Co.                
            
         
        
            
                    
                    
            
            
            
                Jimbo Fisher's ability to pull off the 'surprises' in today's recruiting
            
                
                
In today's era of social media, crystal balls and recruiting projections, it is becoming rare that a prospect can truly shock the industry with a surprise commitment. Still, as Texas A&M's two most recent pledges exhibit, Jimbo Fisher and his staff certainly know how to pull them off.                
            
         
        
            
                    
                    
            
            
            
                Texas A&M's 2024 out-of-state success emblematic of Fisher's approach
            
                
                
Since his arrival in College Station, Jimbo Fisher has attracted many out-of-state stars while also recruiting the best prospects in the Lone Star State, and A&M's 2024 class is no different. Of the Aggies' 18 pledges, 10 hail from outside the Texas state lines.                
            
         
        
            
                    
                    
            
            
            
                Rise to No. 1: Defining moments in a historic cycle - #8, Bobby Taylor commits
            
                
                
TexAgs' recruiting analyst Ryan Brauninger has assembled ten defining moments that led to Texas A&M signing the highest-rated recruiting class of all time. Katy's Bobby Taylor committed to A&M on Feb. 24 and subsequently played a huge role in building the top-ranked class.                
            
         
        
            
                    
            
            
            
                More to come: Fisher stacking the kind of talent that typically wins big
            
                
                
It's obvious that elite recruiting is a precursor to on-field success in college football, and the trends show that Texas A&M is on a trajectory that could bring championships to College Station now that the Aggies have signed a third-straight top-ten recruiting class.
