It’s no surprise that Texas A&M’s 2026 recruiting class is competing for the No. 1 spot in the rankings by the end of the year, as coach Mike Elko and his staff have hosted 33 elite 2026 prospects over the past two weekends, including 15 this weekend. Led by the return of five-star defensive lineman Lamar Brown, the Aggies gained their 15th commitment on Saturday night after landing three-star QB/ATH Kaeden Johnson.
Johnson, who will likely play tight end for the Aggies due to his size, speed, and knowledge of route concepts, is one of the rising prospects in the cycle, so locking him down early was one of Elko’s priority tasks this month. With Johnson’s commitment, Texas A&M’s 2026 recruiting cycle has risen to No. 6 in 247Sports recruiting rankings, ten spots ahead of the Texas Longhorns (No. 16).
With several commitments on the horizon, Lamar Brown is set to announce his choice on July 10, and after his revealing post on X after his official visit to College Station, stating, “Think this one close the book…” the Aggies are in an excellent position to land the standout lineman, which would be one of the biggest recruiting wins in the last couple of offseasons.
Here are the Top 10 2026 recruiting rankings according to 247Sports:
USC (28 commits)Ohio State (15 commits)Notre Dame (16 commits)Georgia (16 commits)Clemson (18 commits)Texas A&M (15 commits)Penn State (19 commits)Miami (13 commits)LSU (10 commits)Rutgers (23 commits)
