Officials beginning to be schedued
With the recruiting schedule now pushed ahead, the vast majority of official visitors will be coming in the late spring or early summer. The first group has been set up, and here’s who they are:
5-star WR Tristen Keys: The native of Hattiesburg, Miss., was named one of the new 5-stars for 2026 this past week and he’s definitely got a 5-star offer list. Keys has set up officials with Auburn, Tennessee, Miami, Alabama, LSU and A&M. Right now, it seems like the Vols and Aggies are fighting this one out if we’re talking about the true contenders, but the officials could change that quickly.
4-star OL Zaden Krempin: The Prosper OL has set up officials with A&M, SMU, Texas, Michigan and LSU. Krempin hasn’t gotten a ton of attention on the A&M side due to the pursuit of Jackson Cantwell and Ishmael Iheanacho, but Krempin may be a more realistic (and local) option.
4-star DE Bryce Perry-Wright: The nation’s #4 defensive end has set up officials with A&M, Texas, Auburn, Georgia and Clemson. It’s always tough to pull a Georgia kid out of state when the Dawgs want him, but A&M has pulled that trick off before.
4-star WR Jabari Mack: He got officials set with the Aggies, Texas, Ohio State…and LSU.
4-star Lamar Brown: It’s always a pain in the butt to try to t a Louisiana kid away from LSU unless he wants to leave the state, but Mack seems open to the possibility at least. He’ll be in the weekend of June 5.
4-star ATH Ryan Mosley: Another Georgia guy. He’s very big on South Carolina, which has recruited him hard, but he’s also interested in checking out Georgia and A&M. He has official visits set for all three.
4-star DL Lamar Brown: A&M has had the advantage here for quite a while, but LSU is really making a push. Both have official visits set up with him, but he also has visits with Miami and FSU before seeing A&M and LSU last.
3-star DT Trashawn Ruffin and 4-star WR Madden Williams: Two Aggie commits taking advantage of recruiting visits to come back home.
3-D: Not always what it's cracked up to be, but it's got to be good tomorrow
ormally, if opponents shoot the 3-ball better than they so on average against you, you’re going to lose. In the case of A&M, as it is so often, norms don’t apply. They’ve been able to win even when the other team shoots better than they normally do from distance.
Below, the first number is their season average. The one in parenthesis are two they shot against A&M. You can figure the rest out.
Texas: 36.7% (27%) W, 80-60
Oklahoma: 37.6% (58%), W, 80-78
Alabama: 33.6% (35%), L, 94-88
Kentucky: 38% (33%) L, 81-69
LSU: 31% (24%), W, 68-57
Ole Miss: 35.3% (31.4%), W, 63-62
Texas: 36.7% (40%) L, 70-69
OU: 37.6% (46%), W, 75-68
South Carolina: 33% (39%), W, 76-72
The Aggies have held opponents below their season 3-point make averages four times and won three of them. Their opponents have shot better than average against the Aggies five times, and A&M has one three of them.
Four position groups to watch this spring, and how they look going in
Missouri shoots 24 3’s a game and hit 38% of them. That ties for the best average of any time they’ve played to date. A&M is going to need to extend their defense and not give up the easy 3, unlike they did at South Carolina. It could be why Solomon Washington gets back into the starting lineup, if he’s ready (I doubt he is), even though the offense has been better with Pharrel Payne and Henry Coleman starting together.
With all the freshmen save one already on campus and most (if not all) of the transfers also in, what you see from the Aggie football team in spring ball will be close to what you get in the fall. So here’s a look at four key position groups — WR, DE, DT, CB — and where I think the players stand at the moment:
WR
KC Concepcion: Starter in the slot
Mario Craver: Starting somewhere
Terry Bussey: Starter on the outside
Jonah Wilson: Backup on the outside, but in the rotation
Ashton Bethel-Roman: Backup on the outside, looking to stay in the rotation
Ernest Campbell: Looking for the backup job in the slot
Izaiah Williams: Looking for a backup spot
Kelshaun Johnson: Looking for a backup job in the slot
TK Norman: Looking for a backup spot on the outside
Jerome Myles isn’t around yet, which is a big disappointment. I mean, he'll be here, but he's the lone guy arriving at the midterm.
DE (for this, let’s just call Cahius Howell and Rylan Kennedy JACKs)
TJ Searcy: Likely starter
Dayon Hayes: Likely starter
Solomon Williams: Likely in the two deep
Kendall Jackson: Looking for spot in the two deep
Jadon Scarlett: Backup
Marco Jones: Gets a chance to show we he can do. One of the top freshmen to watch
DT
DJ Hicks: Starter, with massive expectations
Albert Regis: Starter
Tyler Oneydim: Key backup
Dealyn Evans: Working to stay in the two-deep
DJ Sanders: Fighting for two-deep spot
Chace Sims: Fighting for two-deep spot
Landon Rink: Preparing to play both DE and DT
CB
Will Lee: Starter
Dezz Ricks: Competing for starting job
Julian Humphrey: Competing for starting job
Jayvon Thomas: Fighting for two-deep slot
Tyreek Chappell: Can move over from nickel if need be
Adonyss Currie: Fighting for a two-deep slot
Jamar Beal-Goines: Fighting for a two-deep spot
Cobey Sellers: Fighting for a two-deep spot
