Some notes on some recent DFW offers
The Aggies have been active in DFW. The football staff made several stops in the area and extended quite a few new offers. We highlighted Lone Star standouts Davian Groce and Karece Hoyt earlier this week, and a few more DFW offers have gone out this week as well. 2026 OL Pupunagatoa Katoa, Euless Trinity At 6-5, 389, the size immediately catches the eye, but then you see him move. He is an athlete and he is mean and that is one scary combination. A quick look at the tape and you see a powerful finisher. He also showed well at the Under Armour camp in March and his offer list is really starting to explode. In addition to the Aggies he also holds offers from Texas State, Utah State, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Houston, SMU, Miami, TCU, Texas, San Diego State, and Washington State.. He earned first-team all-district honors as a sophomore this fall.2027WR Trenton Yancey, Arlington (TX) Lamar - Yancey has already established himself as one of the top playmakers in DFW. At 6-foot, 175, and a 14-year old freshman in the fall, he routinely posted big numbers for the Vikings. His offer list is already getting long with several P4 programs represented. He has been on the Aggies radar, and he visited College Station for the spring game. As a freshman he posted over 1000 all-purpose yard and 7 TDs. At receiver he recorded 814 yards and 5 TDs on 59 receptions and he was named district offensive newcomer of the year.OL Jasper Ngokwere, Richardson (TX) - Checks in at 6-foot-6 and in the 275-280 range. This is another example of the Aggies getting in the mix very early. Texas A&M is his second offer joining San Deigo State who offered yesterday as well. He played OL and DL this fall out of necessity but I'm told the future is bright at OT. He is a basketball guy so he is flexible and light on his feet. Big framed, long arms, and an extremely high upside as he continues to gain strength.DL JD Jones, Dallas (TX) South Oak Cliff - He checks in at 6-2.5, 285, and Texas A&M is the first to offer after DL coach Tony Jerod-Eddie and Sean Spencer got a look at him first hand this week. I am told he dominated the day the Aggies were out there, and he is having a great spring. He played freshman ball last fall where he was unblockable, and he is noted for his quick get off and his high motor. Look for him to have a big role in the DL rotation this fall.

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.”
