Texas A&M Football Wins Big With Overall Class of 2026 Recruitment in June

Five-star Brandon Arrington's commitment sent the Aggies from good to great in terms of their recruiting position. It turned the momentum in their favor and it seemed that even if they lost a recruit to another school, they were still winning. Arrington is also head coach Mike Elko's highest-ranked commit to date.

ESPN currently ranked Texas A&M as the No. 2 overall recruiting class for 2025, noting that landing K.J. Edwards two days before Arrington was another huge win to get the Aggies started in the right direction. To round out the month, cornerback Camren Hamiel, offensive tackle Samuel Roseborough, and defensive end Tristian Givens, put Texas A&M in a comfortable spot heading into July. The Aggies also landed a five-star offensive tackle in Lamont Rogers.

All of these small and big wins may forecast success for the commitments to be announced in July. At the top of the Aggies list: Lamar Brown. Brown is the No. 1 overall defensive lineman, No. 5 recruit overall from the class, and No. 1 athlete out of Louisiana. At the moment, predictions are scattered between LSU and Texas A&M. However, Texas and Miami haven't been cut out of the race just yet.

Elko's proved that he can win both in-state and out-of-state recruitment battles, especially when the Longhorns are in the mix. Beyond the initial battle, too, the Aggies can also keep recruits away from decommitting. Madden Williams, who was up in the air as to whether he'd stick with Texas A&M earlier in the month, announced that he shut down his commitment and stayed true to his Aggies pledge.

Texas A&M currently has 21 commits, 10 of which came from June alone.
