Mike Elko and Texas A&M continue to run away with the No. 1 class in 2027.
The Aggies came into Thursday with a significant lead over second-ranked Miami and only expanded it with the commitment of five-star Tampa Jesuit (Fla.) linebacker Kaden Henderson. He became A&M’s fifth five-star commitment of the cycle, another mark that leads the country and puts them into historic territory — particularly in the NIL era.
But maybe even more impressive than the top-end talent in their class is the sheer depth. On top of its five-stars, A&M has five more top-100 commits for 10 in total. That number is nearly double the total of any other school and will likely carry the Aggies their first No. 1 recruiting class since 2022.
Along with Henderson (No. 25 overall), A&M also has in the fold:
- 5-star OT Mark Matthews (No. 5 NATL)
- 5-star SAF Kamarui Dorsey (No. 10)
- 5-star EDGE Zyron Forstall (No. 24)
- 5-star IOL Kennedy Brown (No. 25)
- 4-star CB Raylaun Henry (No. 42)
- 4-star SAF JayQuan Snell (No. 48)
- 4-star WR Jaden Upshaw (No. 56)
- 4-star DL Myels Smith (No. 59)
- 4-star EDGE Frederick Ards III (No. 61)
Five more blue-chippers beyond that in the fold include DL Elijah Patmon, EDGE Kaden McCarty, OT Kaeden Scott, QB Jayce Johnson, and OT DeMarrion Johnson.
That class — should it not add any more commits — would rank among the top 10 in the Rivals era and would be the highest-rated since A&M’s back in 2022. That class, which didn’t quite live up to its hype on the field, featured nine five-star signees and 17 top-100 players in general.
This developing story will be updated.
