Navy Bowl All-American Primer, Notes, and Thoughts
Later today I will be making my way to San Antonio for the Navy All-American Bowl. Like the Under Armour Bowl last week, the Aggies are well represented with six signees/commitments in the game.Signees/Commitments East4 WR Aaron Gregory, Douglasville (GA) Douglas County 2026 signee12 EDG Tristian Givens, Columbus (GA) Carver 2026 signeeWest81 WR Jayden Warren, Rosharon (TX) Iowa Colony 2026 signee7 WR Madden Williams, Bellflower (CA) St. John Bosco 2026 signeethe 13 WR Hakim Frampton, San Antonio (TX) Brandeis 2027 commitment1 CB Brandon Arrington, Spring Valley (CA) Mount Miguel 2026 signeeAll the signees playing in the game are early enrollees, and Warren, Williams, Givens, and Gregory are already moved in at Texas A&M. A few new arrivals in Aggieland before they head to the @AABonNBC 👍 pic.twitter.com/aruDvMiERd— Texas A&M Football (@AggieFootball) January 3, 2026
Frampton is the only 2027 commitment playing in the game. As a two-way standout, he is committed to Texas A&M as a corner, but he will be in San Antonio as a receiver.Aaron Gregory is a finalist for the Navy Bowl Offensive Player of the Year along with QB Briggs Cherry (Louisville), WR Jordan Clay (Washington), RB Ezavier Crowell (Alabama), and RB John Hebert (Houston)Game info: Televised live on NBC on Saturday, January 10, at noon CT, and it will be played in the Alamodome in San Antonio.Some Top 2027 TargetsEast2 Nick Lennear, Miami (FL) Northwestern18 WR Jaden Upshaw, Leesburg (GA) Lee County 17 TE Malik Howard, Oak Ridge (TN)51 OL Joshua Sam-Epelle, Douglasville (GA) Douglas CountyWest6 TE Ahmad Hudson, Ruston (LA)72 OL Jake Hildebrand, Chandler (AZ) Basha75 OL Kaeden Scott, San Antonio (TX) Roosevelt8 CB Duvay Williams, Gardena (CA) Junipero SerraAll of the above have the Aggies among their top few, and all but Sam-Epelle visited College Station this fall. Those listed on the West squad are also all multi-year targets who A&M offered early in the process. Here's a few more notes and thoughtsScott has a Texas A&M visit scheduled for January 17, and he visited multiple times throughout the spring, summer, and fall. As one of the top OLs in Texas, the in-state schools have all been involved in his recruitment, and the Aggies are positioned well to make a strong run as he figures out his next steps.Hildebrand is another long-time target with whom coach Cushing and the staff have formed a strong bond. He listed the Aggies in his top 10, and as expected, it is a who's who of college football. While Texas A&M is involved with quite a few top OLs and the in-state class is strong, Hildebrand is one of those high tier OLs Texas A&M fans have good reason to keep on the radar.Hudson is an intriguing one with the departure of tight end coach Christian Ellsworth. The Aggies were one of his first offers and the multi-sport standout has also had talks with the basketball staff. Ellsworth did plenty of heavy lifting in his recruitment, but he does have other connections to the staff from his many trips to Aggieland. Nebraska has always been a mainstay, and then there is LSU, and you better believe the Tigers are going to be tough to beat. Upshaw is a WR target I keep going back to. He was one of the first guys Jayce Johnson told me he was recruiting and after Upshaw's fall visit he spoke very highly of the A&M program and his overall experience. The Aggies have had a strong presence in Georgia the last few years, and as one of the state's top pass catchers, it is not hard to see the Aggies figuring prominently in his recruitment.A few more names of noteEast5 WR Tristen Keys, Hattiesburg (MS) - 2026 Tennessee signee78 OL Mason Joshua, Forney (TX) - 202765 OL Tristan Dare, Southlake (TX) Carroll - 2027 Michigan commit13 DL Seth Tillman, Rock Hill (SC) South Pointe - 202721 CB Jordan Thomas, Oradell (NJ) Bergen Catholic - 2026 Ohio State sgneeWest28 RB Jonathan Hatton Jr, Cibolo (TX) Steele - 2026 Oklahoma signee1 RB SaRod Baker, DeSoto (TX) - 202711 DL Jamarion Carlton, Temple (TX) - 2026 Texas signee91 DL Deven Robertson, Hattiesburg (MS) Oak Grove - 202745 DL Jaimeon Winfield, Richardson (TX) - 2026 USC signee10 LB JaMarquis Hudson, Port Arthur (TX) Memorial - 2027I will be at practice tomorrow and you can expect interviews and coverage throughout the week from me and the TexAgs staff here in San Antonio. Stay tuned.

However, at least a couple will be making their way to town a little earlier. WRs Aaron Gregory and Madden Williams plan to move in this coming weekend before heading to San Antonio for the Navy All-American Bowl. They will also be joined by signees Brandon Arrington, Tristian Givens, and Jayden Warren in San Antonio. We have not confirmed when Arrington, Givens, and plan to move-in, but it is something to watch. 2027 commit Hakim Frampton will also play in the game. He is listed as a CB on the TexAgs commit list but has been a standout on both sides and he is currently listed as a WR on the Navy Bowl roster.2027 OL commit DeMarrion Johnson was also selected to play in the Navy Bowl, but he is not currently listed on the Navy Bowl roster. His status for the game is up in the air at the moment, but in other news he tells TexAgs he does plan to be back in College Station on January 17.
