New LB name to watch in Houston
A source in the Houston area tells me that Texas A&M is making the short drive down to CyRanch today to check out fast-rising LB Calvin Thomas. The 6-3, 210 pounder has seen his stock soar this offseason as coaches come through the school and has picked up 5 new offers in the last month with more on the way. It would not surprise me to see the Aggies join the party here soon. This 2026 in-state class is interesting. It had gotten a reputation early on for being a bit light compared to the 2025 group ahead of it and the 2027s behind it. However, the odds say that there are going to be 20-30 kids from the state of Texas eventually drafted from each class so the job of the scouting staff is to uncover and identify as many of those as they can. Calvin Thomas and a prospect like Aaron Bradshaw who they offered yesterday are great examples of A&M (and others) doing just that.

Wednesday Recruiting Notes
Brauninger mentioned the Aggies are planning to host three big visitors this weekend with Texas A&M commits TE Xavier Tiller, WR Aaron Gregory, and DE Jordan Carter making their way back to Aggieland. There was some talk about Dorian Barney maybe making his way to town, but he told TexAgs yesterday he plans to be at Georgia this weekend. Barney does plan to visit Aggieland this spring and the Aggies are high on his list. Texas A&M is also set to host a standout 2027 with QB Trae Taylor of Mundelein (IL) Carmel Catholic is also making plans to be in town this weekend. The Aggies offered the 6-3, 185 pound signal caller in early January after OC Collin Klein dropped by the school, and his offer list includes a who's who of college football with Georgia, LSU, Miami, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Oregon already on the table. He plans to arrive on Friday night and stay until Sunday The Aggies extended a new in-state 2026 offer today to North Crowley S Aaron Bradshaw, and he is definitely one to watch after putting together a strong 2024 season. He checks in at 6-3, 190 pounds and he is one of those guys you notice right away. He is physically put together and he came through for some big plays on the back end of the defense as the Panthers made their way to a state championship last fall. He has seen the offers begin to pile up in the last few weeks with LSU, Texas, Houston, Texas Tech, Arizona State, West Virginia, and Michigan State all arriving as well as the Aggies, and he is a guy who will be flying up the rankings lists. Yesterday I mentioned there were some guys I already had in mind for our next rankings update and Bradshaw is one of the first ones on that list. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17958653/6760b4bbca3802908d255aa8Speaking of secondary the Aggies current DB commits Ryan Gilbert and Markel Ford both made their way to Norman, Okla, for the Sooners Junior Day this weekend. Oklahoma and SMU are two programs coming on strong for both, and Gilbert has seen recent offers from Oregon, Washington, Kansas State, and Washington. Both are making plans to visit College Station in the spring, and they are both committed to the Aggies. However, the attention, especially from SMU and OU, and the OU visit are worth noting and watching.
