It is time for the UIL State Championships, and TexAgs' Jason Howell, Ryan Brauninger and Cade Draughan will be in attendance at AT&T Stadium. Stay tuned, coverage begins Thursday evening with the 2A Division II State Championship and rolls through Saturday.

Another signing day has come and gone as Mike Elko and the Aggies finished out a top-10 2026 class last week. As is the case with every cycle, there are still storylines and things that go unreported publicly, and here are a handful that popped up with the Ags and 2026 prospects.

With stability and a culture of development driving the Aggies toward championship potential, the December signing period is still vitally important for programs like Texas A&M, and with the class of 2026, the Ags are well-positioned before prospects put pen to paper on Wednesday.

Over the last few days, Texas A&M has flipped a prospect from Houston, but the Aggies have also lost a pledge who changed his commitment to Oklahoma. Even with the birth of pre-negotiated NIL deals, there is still plenty of movement right up to the start of the early signing period.

With many on-field successes on the national stage, the Aggies have put themselves in unprecedented territory when it comes to cashing in on the recruiting trail. More importantly, Mike Elko & Co. appear primed to capitalize on their important opportunities.

During the last transfer portal cycle, Mike Elko, Derek Miller and the Aggies believed in their unique data, analytics and approach to roster building. The process has paid off as Texas A&M is now 9-0 and is currently poised to compete for the conference and national championships.

Texas A&M's second bye week meant there was no on-field action for the Maroon & White, but the Aggies were still plenty busy on the recruiting front. Over the weekend, A&M welcomed a 2027 addition and saw a 2026 pledge decommit.

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.

The on-field momentum is rolling in Aggieland, and that success has translated to the recruiting trail as Texas A&M just concluded an important three-game home stand at Kyle Field. For Mike Elko and the Aggies, the steak is selling itself as the sizzle gets more intense.

After another victory during a successful, big-time recruiting weekend, Texas A&M will again see the level of importance rise as top prospects plan to make their way to Aggieland for an Oct. 11 showdown between the Aggies and Florida Gators at Kyle Field.

With 108,449 total inside Kyle Field on Saturday, approximately 100 recruits looked on as Texas A&M improved to 4-0 by beating Auburn, 16-10. It was the first of three straight recruiting weekends for Mike Elko & Co., and the Aggies took advantage.

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.

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.

With the football season set to kick off on Saturday night, one final look at Mike Elko's 2025 Fightin' Texas Aggie football roster might be prudent. The goal here is to provide a numerical examination of where the players are coming from.

With high school football beginning around the country, Texas A&M currently has 27 commitments in the class of 2026. As Mike Elko & Co. put their finishing touches on this cycle, a major focus on the recruiting trail will be retention and reeling in big fish down the stretch.
