Texas A&M In Top 3 For 4-Star LB DaQuives Beck

Beck is listed as a four-star recruit in the class of 2026 and the ninth-best linebacker. In his top three options, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State join A&M.

“It is a nice environment to be in,” Beck told On3’s Chad Simmons in February. ”Since coach Elko got there, I have seen a big difference in the program,”. “I like coach [Mike] Elko, coach [Jay] Bateman and coach [Taylor] Trooper a lot. They have shown me that they really want me there.”

Standing at six-foot-one, 205-pounds, Beck has made quite a name for himself at Carthage High School. His junior season, Beck recorded 102 tackles, 21 tackles for loss, five sacks, a fumble recovery, three pass breakups, 31 pressures, 16 quarterback hits, and two defensive TDs. Beck led Carthage to the Texas 4A D-II state championship, where he earned Defensive MVP after an impressive performance which included 10 tackles and a sack.

On top of his success on the gridiron, Beck stands out in track and field. As a sophomore he was a member of Carthage's Texas 4A regional-qualifying 4x400 relay team. His freshman year, he ran an 11.93 second 100-meter dash, according to his 247Sports recruiting profile. Beck’s speed, combined with his size, makes him a hot commodity for any college football team.

According to 247Sports, the Aggies have the seventh-best recruiting class in 2026. If Beck commits to A&M, he would join three-star Storm Miller as the other linebacker in the class.
