Texas A&M boasted the No. 1 overall recruiting class in 2022, but that influx of talent didn’t translate into wins. The Aggies won five games that year and Jimbo Fisher was off of a 6-4 start in 2023 before receiving his walking papers. Mike Elko is now in charge of Texas A&M football recruiting as the team’s head coach. The Aggies landed at No. 19 in the Class of 2024 ranking, per 247Sports, but that slots them just ninth in the SEC with the newly-arrived Texas and Oklahoma ahead of them.
Elko didn’t have much time to work on the 2024 Texas A&M football class, but he’s already off to a strong start with the Class of 2025. With commitments from RB Deondrae Riden, CB Deyjhon Pettaway and LB Kelvion Riggins, the Aggies already have more four-star commits than Alabama and Georgia.

Texas A&M wrapped up a successful 2024 recruiting class by signing Bussey, Robert Bourdon and Ashton Bethel-Roman. Bussey is a two-way star who played cornerback and wide receiver in high school, and Texas A&M is expected to use him in several different ways.

Bourdon was the first to sign on Wednesday, as the one-time Duke commitment flipped to Texas A&M following the coaching change.
