Texas A&M’s rise is not about stacking five-stars, but about finding players who crave the grind and maximizing their development once they arrive in College Station. The blueprint behind Mike Elko’s recruiting strategy is beginning to show its real impact on Saturdays.

With the majority of the work on Texas A&M's 2026 signing class already finished, the focus has started to shift to what Mike Elko & Co. are doing in 2027. The Aggies already have four '27 commits, and there are a few other notable trends worth following.

Texas A&M's bye week is here, but there is no time to waste. There is momentum to be seized following the huge win in South Bend, and there is plenty of recruiting action as the Aggies hit the ground running with three consecutive SEC home games ahead. What a great time to be alive.

Texas A&M's receiving corps is clearly more explosive in 2025 than in recent history, and that improvement can be attributed to the versatile skill sets Mike Elko & Co. have added in recruiting. Here's a rundown of the high school wideouts the Ags have targeted under Elko's watch.

While Texas A&M's Week 1 opponent wasn't a marquee name, 107,571 fans still filled Kyle Field on Saturday night. Regardless of the matchup, the 12th Man's support always leaves an impressive mark on the recruits who make their way to College Station.

The summer months could have been long and boring in Aggieland, but Mike Elko and his team of "Recruiting Avengers" saved the dog days through June and July. Over the last couple of months, the Aggies have welcomed 15 commitments in the class of 2026.

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.

Since June 4, Texas A&M has received pledges from 13 prospects, including a trio of commitments already in July. With 24 members currently in the 2026 class, the Aggies are currently right where they want to be, with even more decisions on the way.
