News Summary

The Texas A&M Aggies have enhanced their 2026 recruiting class with the commitment of three-star offensive tackle Avery Morcho. This decision follows his evaluation of offers from SMU and TCU. Ranked as the No. 40 offensive tackle nationally and No. 65 in Texas, Morcho’s addition strengthens a class already filled with high-profile recruits. The coaching staff has successfully attracted talents such as five-star athlete Brandon Arrington and edge rusher Tristian Givens, positioning the Aggies for potential success moving forward in college football.

College Station, Texas – The Texas A&M Aggies have strengthened their 2026 recruiting class with the commitment of three-star offensive tackle Avery Morcho from Ridge Point High School in Missouri City, Texas. Morcho’s decision to join the Aggies comes after evaluating offers from both the SMU Mustangs and TCU Horned Frogs.

Morcho is ranked the No. 40 offensive tackle in the country and is identified as the No. 65 player within Texas, according to the 247Sports composite rankings. His addition marks a significant boost for the Aggies as they continue to build a competitive roster for future seasons.

The recruiting momentum for Texas A&M has been particularly strong, as the coaching staff has successfully attracted high-profile talents. This includes the recent commitments of five-star athlete Brandon Arrington and edge rusher Tristian Givens, along with four-star commitments from running back KJ Edwards and offensive lineman Samuel Roseborough. Notably, Edwards’ commitment was a significant win over traditional rival Texas Longhorns.

The 2026 class also features other four-star recruits such as tight end Caleb Tafua, quarterback Helaman Casuga, cornerback Victor Singleton, wide receiver Aaron Gregory, and running back Jonathan Hatton Jr. On the defensive side, the class boasts four-star edge rushers Jordan Carter and Samu Moala, along with three-star talent like linebacker Storm Miller and kicker Asher Murray.

Last season was a mixed experience for Texas A&M. Under the leadership of head coach Mike Elko, the team embarked on a promising 5-0 start in Southeastern Conference (SEC) play. However, disappointment followed as they finished the season with a 7-5 record, losing four of their last five games, which included a regular season finale defeat against the Texas Longhorns. The Aggies now face lofty expectations heading into the 2025 season, with aspirations of returning to form and achieving playoff contenders status.

Coach Elko’s focus on enhancing the program through effective recruiting strategies is evident, as Texas A&M’s 2026 recruiting class is gaining recognition as one of the top classes in the nation. The Aggies have successfully secured a total of 21 commitments for this class, which positions them as a force to reckon with in college football for the upcoming years.

The continued success in recruiting not only reflects the optimism surrounding the program but also symbolizes Texas A&M’s approach to revitalizing their competitive edge in college football. With the current commitments and strategic planning, the Aggies are gearing up for what they hope will be a turnaround season, aiming to reaffirm their status as a powerhouse in college football.
