Texas A&M football enters the spring contact period already having made waves in recruiting throughout spring ball. During spring practices, the Aggies collected a total of five commits during their spring practices, bringing the number of 2026 commits to 11.

After receiving his Texas A&M offer in January, 2027 Tyler (TX) Legacy offensive lineman DeMarrion Johnson made his first trip to Aggieland over the weekend. Following the experience, he spoke to TexAgs about what he saw, what caught his eye and what lies ahead.

As he does every Friday morning, TexAgs' senior recruiting analyst Jason Howell offered up another round of his weekly recruiting thoughts. In this edition of his Three Things, Howell discussed Texas A&M's weekend visitors and much more.

Recruiting talent-rich East Texas has been a necessity for Texas A&M in the past, and Mike Elko & Co. are attacking the region stronger in the 2026 cycle and beyond. The Aggies signed a pair of East Texas standouts in the 2024 class but did not ink an East Texas product in 2025.
