2026 Texas A&M Football Commit Makes Highlight Reel Catch at OT7

Blue-chip prospects all across the nation flocked to Fort Lauderdale, Fla. this weekend for the OT7 Playoffs, which serves as the championship tournament for the Overtime 7-on-7 football league. And one Texas A&M Aggies commit from the Class of 2026 showed off just what sort of talent Mike Elko and his staff have in place once he arrives on campus.

Standout Douglas County (Ga.) wide receiver Aaron Gregory was in attendance to compete at the tournament -- Gregory committed to Texas A&M last October, and was in College Station for an official visit on June 6. Gregory is rated as a four-star prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, which lists Gregory as the seventh-best player in Georgia and the eighth-best wideout nationally in the 2026 recruiting class.

On3 national scout Cody Bellaire was on-site at OT7 this weekend, and caught some footage of Gregory putting his elite pass-catching skills to use. In the video, which Bellaire posted on his personal account on X (formerly known as Twitter), the 6-foot-3 wideout uses his lengthy frame to make a leaping catch in the back of the endzone with a defensive back trailing right behind.

Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the grab, however, is that most receivers would have fallen out of bounds after hauling in a pass mid-air so close to the edge of the endzone -- but Gregory was able to tip-toe along the out-of-bounds line and drag one foot across the turf before falling out. It was a touchdown -- and one many of his peers likely wouldn't have been able to haul in.

Gregory was also named one of the Top 10 players from day one of the OT7 Playoffs by Rivals recruiting analyst John Garcia Jr., and also received some major love from 247Sports' on-site reporters at the tournament.

"He can literally do it all...Andrew Ivins, our director of scouting, was raving about him yesterday and he comes back and has a great performance today. So the Aggies are getting a really, really good player," 247Sports recruiting analyst Tom Loy said regarding Gregory's performance.

Gregory is gaining more attention as his prep career nears it's end, earning invitations to the 2025 Navy All-American Bowl and the 2025 Polynesian Bowl and making some impressive plays this offseason at various camps and tournaments.

While no verbal commitments are finalize until National Signing Day, Aggies fans can rest assured that Gregory seems pretty intent on ending up in College Station -- he made the point after his official visit earlier this month to officially shut down his recruitment, driving home the point that he is fully committed to Texas A&M.

"My recruitment is officially shut down. Get on board or get rolled over," Gregory tweeted.
