Fairburn (GA) Langston Hughes RB Carsyn Baker commits to Texas A&M

Texas A&M inked a strong 2026 class on Wednesday morning, but Mike Elko & Co. had another move up their sleeve.

On Thursday, it was revealed that the Aggies returned to Georgia for another top talent when Fairburn (GA) Langston Hughes running back Carsyn Baker‍ announced his college plans.

The 6-foot-1, 200-pound standout brings plenty of size, power and speed to the table. The speed is verified. He clocked a personal best 10.61 100m, and he was a state qualifier in the event. It also shows on tape, along with his power as he plants, gets downhill and runs through opposing defenses.

The Aggies originally extended an offer in May of 2024 with coach Trooper Taylor leading A&M’s recruiting efforts. He visited a few times early in his recruitment, and he even talked about planning an official visit to College Station.

Baker and the Aggies ended up going in different directions, but as the December signing period neared, both found themselves evaluating their options and finding a fit.

With his signature, Baker becomes the Aggies’ 29th commitment of the class, and he joins KJ Edwards‍ in the running back room. He welcomed offers from across the country throughout his recruitment, and he committed to Florida in June. Baker decommitted from the Gators on Dec. 1, and he chose the Aggies over the likes of Florida, South Carolina, Kentucky, North Carolina and Georgia Tech.

Widely regarded as a four-star prospect, Baker joins Georgia standouts Aaron Gregory‍, Bryce Perry-Wright‍ and Tristian Givens‍ in the Aggies' recruiting class and adds another dynamic weapon to the group.
