Texas A&M’s 2026 recruiting class is still in a solid position to land five-star edge Anthony “Tank” Jones, who will choose between the Aggies, Alabama, and Oregon sooner rather than later. On Monday, Jones, who is a slightly projected to land with Texas A&M, provided an update regarding his recruitment, stating,
“I’m making a decision either this week or next week.”
Jones has taken official visits to all three programs, and while he is an Alabama native, which plays in favor with the Tide, his strong relationship with head coach Mike Elko and defensive line coaches Tony Jerod-Eddie and Sean Spencer could pay off in the coming days. During his recent interview with On3/Rivals, Jones praised Texas A&M’s coaching staff, specifically defensive coordinator Jay Bateman.
“The position coaches are a big reason why Texas A&M is so high on my list and the way Coach Bateman uses the big end position.”
After missing out on five-star defensive lineman Lamar Brown, who committed to LSU, combined with four-star edge KJ Ford, who committed to Florida, landing Jones would put the Aggies over the top and solidify the program’s future depth at edge with four-stars Samu Moala and Jordan Carter already committed.
During his 2024 junior season wth St. Paul’s Episcopal, Jones recorded 84 tackles, 16 sacks, and 18 tackles for loss. According to Rivals, Jones is the 23rd-ranked prospect in the cycle, the 2nd-ranked prospect in Alabama, and the 2nd-ranked Edge prospect.
