Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko and his staff are finalizing the No. 1-ranked 2027 recruiting class, and attention will shift to the 2028 cycle after the 2026 season opener against Missouri State on September 5. However, five-star cornerback A'mir Sears will not be part of that class after reclassifying to 2027; he announces his commitment on Friday.
Last week, two 2028 Aggie legacies—four-star running back Ian Thomas and four-star wide receiver/track star Dillon Mitchell, sons of former A&M starters from the 1990s—received predictions to join Texas A&M. On Wednesday, On3's Sam Speigelman released predictions for 19 prospects in the 2028 class, giving Mitchell a 75% confidence level to commit to the Aggies.
Key Analysis
Speigelman also listed Texas A&M as the 'biggest threat' to land four-star offensive tackle Jai'storm Knight, four-star athlete CJ Whaley, four-star defensive lineman Logan Lokey, four-star edge Braydon Robinson, and three-star cornerback Kameron Grisby. These predictions stem from Elko's success building relationships with all 26 commitments in the 2027 cycle, nearly half of whom shut down their recruitments this summer. Following a record 10 Aggies selected in the 2026 NFL Draft, Elko's ability to develop talent at every position will likely influence high school prospects if he continues sending double-digit players to the league.
