Texas A&M is closer than ever to securing the No. 1-ranked 2027 recruiting class after securing four-star linebacker Mikahi Allen's commitment earlier this month, bringing the total number of commits to 27 heading into the 2026 college football season.
While third-year coach Mike Elko and his staff will be in the running to flip multiple 2027 commits, which could include five-star CB and South Carolina commit Joshua Dobson, five-star running back Landen Williams-Callis will announce his commitment on August 1, but is currently trending to land with the Texas Longhorns.
As soon as the 2026 season begins, the Aggies will use every home game as a hosting opportunity for the 2028 cycle, which will include two priority prospects who are Texas A&M legacies. This spring, Elko officially offered four-star running back Ian Thomas, son of former Aggie star running back Rodney Thomas, who, according to Rivals insider Sam Spiegelman, is heavily favored to land at his Father's alma mater.
Texas A&M AHC and RB coach Trooper Taylor has led Thomas's recruitment, and while some believe Texas A&M is the leader due to his Aggie lineage, that's far from the truth.
"Coach was clear that it was me and how I play that got me the offer," Thomas stated to Rivals. "I appreciated him saying that."
