Texas A&M Suffers Two Four-Star Wide Receiver Losses

Texas A&M football was projected to a land a four-star wide receiver from the class of 2026. The Aggies also had another in-state, four-star wideout on their radar.

They've been having a productive and successful recruitment cycle, especially recently. However, both slipped through their hands as the recruits announced their commitments to other schools.

Texas A&M had all the cards in its favor to Boobie Feaster and what predicted to be the frontrunner for a majority of his recruitment. On July 4, Feaster announced his commitment to USC. The Trojans are leading this class of 2026 recruit and this four-star is another resume booster. Feaster is the No. 40 overall recruit, No. 4 wide receiver, and No. 6 athlete from Texas.

Bad news hit the Aggies again as four-star wideout Kaydon Finley announced his commitment to Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish are also having luck in recruitment, landing Joey O'Brien, Khary Adams, and Rodney Dunham. Finley is the No. 110 overall recruit, No. 14 wide receiver, and No. 15 athlete from Texas. He's also the son of former Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley and it's clear the talent was passed down. Finley recorded 81 receptions for 1,432 yards and 21 touchdowns as a junior at Aledo High School.

Due to in-state advantage, both the Aggies and Texas Longhorns were hoping to sway Finley to staying close to home. However, Notre Dame was always the school to beat in this battle. USC managed to flip Feaster away from staying at home as Texas A&M was the longtime leader in this race.

The Fighting Irish has the No. 3 2026 recruitment class just above Texas A&M on 247Sports whereas USC is leading at No. 1.
