Brief update on KJ Ford

Hearing this afternoon that the new Jon Sumrall and his new GM at Florida have been on the phone with Duncanville DE KJ Ford as they continue to attempt to fight off the Texas A&M momentum. Without getting into too much detail, I was told there is some confidence on the UF side that they've at least gotten a foothold back into this deal thanks mostly to some clarifications being given by what is essentially the Florida front office. We'll continue to keep tabs here, but it does appear the Gators are making their rally today. Will it be enough to keep Ford in the fold? I don't know about that just yet. I still like A&M's standing heading into this last stretch of back-and-forths.

In-Home Visit: Texas A&M set to ink 2026 recruiting class on Wednesday

On the eve of the early signing period, Texas A&M is putting the finishing touches on what should be a top-10 class of 2026 signees. With a few names to watch ahead of Wednesday, the recruiting duo of Jason Howell and Ryan Brauninger runs down the latest involving the Maroon & White.

Texas A&M's 2026 class is well-positioned ahead of early signing period

With stability and a culture of development driving the Aggies toward championship potential, the December signing period is still vitally important for programs like Texas A&M, and with the class of 2026, the Ags are well-positioned before prospects put pen to paper on Wednesday.

TexAgs National Average Rating

The TexAgs National Average Rating is a proprietary formula that calculates an industry-wide aggregate rating for each recruiting prospect. The formula includes publicly listed grades, scores, ratings and rankings by national recruiting services, along with a TexAgs rating. Combining the data provides a rating for each prospect, which is then normalized to fit the TexAgs Rating 100-point scale.

The intent of this rating is to provide TexAgs readers with a comprehensive snapshot of how individual prospects rank nationally.

TexAgs Rating

The TexAgs Recruiting team of Billy Liucci, David Sandhop, Jason Howell, Ryan Brauninger and a host of recruiting interns attends more than 75 games each fall and observes and evaluates every major Texas A&M target, as well as most of the top 150 prospects in the State of Texas. From this evaluation the team draws a rating for each prospect on a scale between 70 and 100.

99-100: Elite national prospect (Five-star)

Considered one of the best prospects in the nation and a likely difference-maker at the collegiate level. Displays all of the physical skills to be a future All-American with potential to be an early-round NFL draft pick.

90-98: Elite state prospect (Four-star)

Considered one of the best 30-40 prospects in the state and a top 250 national prospect. Displays the physical skills to be a major early contributor at the collegiate level with high professional potential.

80-89: Quality prospect (Three-star)

Considered one of the best 100 prospects in the state and a top 500 national prospect. Displays the physical skills to develop into a contributor over the course of his college career. Has the ability to become a professional prospect over time with development.

70-79: Solid prospect (Two-star)

Considered one of the top 250 prospects in the state. Has the physical skills to be a potential contributor at a D-1 program over the course of his collegiate career with significant development. Professional potential is low.

Staff Predictions

The predictions represent which school each staff member believes will ultimately sign the recruit, and the confidence meter represents his level of certainty in that outcome.

Example #1

If the predicted school is Texas A&M and confidence is set to “High”, then the staff member is saying “I believe that this recruit will ultimately sign with Texas A&M and I feel very certain about that.”

Example #2

If the predicted school is “Alabama” and confidence is set to “Low,” then the staff member is saying “I believe that this recruit will ultimately sign with Alabama, but I’m not very certain about that.”
