Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko has already proven that succeeding Jimbo Fisher, one of the top recruiters for nearly a decade-plus, isn’t impossible. His three-year DC career with the Aggies proved he already has the recruiting chops to contend in the SEC.
After two years as Duke’s head coach, Elko’s utilization of the transfer portal resulted in an impressive 16 wins in just two seasons in Durham while working with less recruiting talent compared to what he inherited ahead of his inaugural 2024 season.
Already landing 19 commitments in Elko’s first 2025 recruiting class, A&M’s 2026 cycle is slowly gaining momentum this summer after landing two defensive back prospects and ahead of Texas A&M’s annual recruiting pool party at the end of the month, one of the top 2026 signal callers will officially make a trip to College Station.
According to Rivals insider Landyn Rosow, 2026 5-star QB Ryder Lyons will attend the annual pool party, which has produced many commitments over the years and will continue under Elko and Co.
Lyons possesses impressive arm, accuracy, and elite touch. He completed over 68% of his passes for 3,578 yards, 38 touchdowns, and just eight interceptions on the year while running for 929 yards and 23 (!) touchdowns on the ground during his 2023 sophomore season at Folsom HS.
According to 247Sports, Lyons is ranked 11th in the 2026 cycle, third in quarterback prospect, and second in California prospect.
