Texas A&M’s future defensive line will now feature one of the more elite pass rushers in the 2026 class, as five-star DL Bryce Perry-Wright committed to the Aggies over Miami, Clemson, and the Texas Longhorns on Saturday afternoon. Wright is now the fifth defensive lineman/edge to commit to A&M’s 2026 cycle, and, outside of fellow five-star DL Lamar Brown, is the most versatile defender in the class.
Texas A&M was not the favorite early last month, but after his official visit to College Station, coach Mike Elko and defensive line coaches Sean Spencer and Tony Jerod-Eddie gained significant ground with the standout pass rusher, developing a tight bond based on trust and a clear development plan once he enters the program.
On the field, Perry-Wright broke out during his 2024 junior season, recording 57 tackles (13 for loss) and nine sacks, which helped lead his team to the playoff semifinals and earned him a spot in the Navy All-American Bowl. Wright may lack elite measurements, but he plays with consistent energy with a game-wrecker mentality that has been comparable to Chicago Bears defensive lineman Grady Jarrett.
With the Aggies, Wright is expected to play defensive end, similar to one-year rental Nic Scourton, who thrived during the first part of the 2024 season.
According to 247Sports, Bryce Perry-Wright is currently positioned as the 32nd-ranked prospect in the 2026 class, the 2nd-ranked defensive lineman, and the 5th-ranked prospect in Georgia.
