Lamar Brown

The Texas A&M defensive line class is coming into focus with the Aggies adding another key piece to the puzzle on the defensive front. Jermaine Kinsler brings a unique blend of athleticism and potential to the table and gives the Aggies another big win on the recruiting front. Kinsler checks in at 6-foot-6.5, 265 pounds according to Bergen Catholic head coach Vito Campanile and he has played a number of positions on both offense and defense for one of the top high school programs in the country. He is also a sight to see on the basketball court. So, he brings position versatility to the table with the capability of playing up and down the line of scrimmage, and his commitment gives the Aggies a defensive line class of four if you include LB/edge Samu Moala. The Aggies also have big standout defensive tackle Trashawn Ruffin out of North Duplin High in Calypso, N.C., and 6-foot-4, 245-pound Jordan Carter from Douglas County in Douglasville, Ga., who brings a twitchy and powerful presence at defensive end.The Aggies are in on several standout prospects and the question turns to who and how many and which can be a tricky task and a moving target.Let's look at the breakdown of prospects with offers who have recently visited, have visits coming up, or have scheduled or are working to schedule official visits.

Also, you can always you can count on a few prospects emerging over the course of the recruiting cycle. Right now, with who the Aggies are in on and with DL always being a priority position, I would say one to two more defensive tackle types, a couple of more true defensive ends who can both come off the edge and put their hand in dirt, and another edge/OLB. So, that's 3-4 DTs, 3 DEs, and 1-2 OLB/Edge guys. Of course, you also reserve a best available spot because the Aggies are in on some of the nation's very best.

Reports are filtering out as 2026 prospects make official visit plans. Monroe (LA) Ouachita Parish DL Dylan Berymon has scheduled an official visit to Texas A&M for the June 20th weekend.

He also has OVs scheduled for Miami, Florida St., and LSU. He is coming off a visit to LSU and the Tigers appear to be making a move. There's a long way to go and we all knew LSU was going to be a player but them getting that last OV weekend of the summer caught my attention.
