Putting a bow on our 2026 TexAgs Top 100
Our recruiting team met this morning via a phone call to put the finishing touches on our 2026 TexAgs Top 100 rankings now that the February signing day has passed and more senior tape has been assessed. We will reconvene to make significant updates to the 2027 group as well as take our 2028 class from a watchlist to an actual rankings once some of the major camps and 7 on 7 events take place in the next few weeks. Here are the most notable alterations we decided upon with the 2026s:DT Jaimeon Winfield (USC) moves up to #3 and will hold a 5 star ratingWR Boobie Feaster (USC) moves up to #6RB John Hebert (UH) moves up to #49CB S'Vioarean Martin (TTU) moves up to #51EDGE Carter Buck (TCU) makes his debut at #52RB Kaegan Ash (TTU) makes his debut at #55DE Obinna Umeh (Duke) makes his debut at #70ATH X'Zavier Barnett (SMU) moves up to #74RB Jett Walker (Texas) makes his debut at #100
Around Texas: Early Signing Period News & Notes
The Early Signing Period has come and gone as a number of the nation's top prospects have signed on the dotted line. It is time to take a look at the latest happenings in the Lone Star State on the recruiting front.
Recruiting action continues even with Texas A&M on a bye week
Texas A&M's second bye week meant there was no on-field action for the Maroon & White, but the Aggies were still plenty busy on the recruiting front. Over the weekend, A&M welcomed a 2027 addition and saw a 2026 pledge decommit.
Remaining targets in 2026
Barring someone coming in from off the radar or a name re-emerging due to the coaching carousel, here's what we've got as remaining targets for Texas A&M with about 6 weeks until the early signing period.ATH Legend Bey - North Forney - TennesseeWR Jayden Warren - Iowa Colony - HoustonWR Boobie Feaster - DeSoto - USCWR Tristen Keys - Hattiesburg (MS) - TennesseeWR Jase Mathews - Leakesville (MS) Greene County - AuburnDL Lamar Brown - Baton Rouge (LA) University Lab - LSUDL Jaimeon Winfield - Richardson - USCDE KJ Ford - Duncanville - FloridaEDGE Tank Jones - Mobile (AL) St Paul's - OregonS Bralan Womack - Flowood (MS) Hartfield Academy - AuburnAs you can see, all of the above are committed to other schools. As such, it's a safe bet that financial considerations have been agreed upon at those places. While those are not iron clad as we've seen in A&M's class this week, they do represent another hurdle for the Aggies. The fervor in regards to the pursuit of the list above varies based on the player, but we know communication between both parties still occurs. Some of the above will be in town for one of the two remaining home games. Womack has already publicly stated he'll be visiting for South Carolina. The likelihood that he's the only one from this list to make it in that weekend is extremely low. Personally, I believe A&M would stand a great chance at Warren and Ford if they decide to make full fledge pushes for each. We are checking on OL Aaron Thomas who chose Ohio State over Texas A&M last summer but has backed out of that verbal pledge to the Buckeyes today.
