College Commitment Announcement Set for July 5
College Station, Texas – On July 5, five-star EDGE prospect Bryce Perry-Wright will announce his college decision, which is poised to be a significant moment for Texas A&M. As one of the most sought-after defensive talents in the 2026 recruiting class, Perry-Wright’s commitment could bolster Texas A&M’s defensive lineup in the coming years.
Top Rankings and Final Choices
Perry-Wright is currently ranked as the No. 5 EDGE prospect in the nation and the No. 33 overall player in his class. His final four options include Clemson, Miami, Texas, and Texas A&M. Recent expert predictions suggest that momentum is leaning heavily towards his commitment to Texas A&M.
Expert Predictions and Insights
Recruiting analyst Steve Wiltfong has issued a favorable prediction for Texas A&M’s chances of securing Perry-Wright, a forecast commonly referred to as a “Fong Bomb.” These predictions boast an impressive historical accuracy rate of 91.71%, based on 743 correct forecasts out of 815 made. Wiltfong has also accurately predicted several other Texas A&M recruits, reinforcing the credibility of his forecasts.
Visit Impact and Competitors
Perry-Wright concluded his official visits with Texas A&M on June 20, a visit typically seen as advantageous when it occurs last in a recruit’s tour. While Clemson initially emerged as a formidable competitor, boasting a 100% projection rate according to 247Sports’ Crystal Ball, there have been no recent predictions favoring them from lead experts, which sets them apart from Texas A&M’s strong position.
Performance and Athleticism
Hailing from Buford, Georgia, Perry-Wright has earned honors that highlight his football prowess, including selections to play in prestigious events like the Polynesian Bowl and the Navy All-American Bowl. In his junior high school season, he showcased his skill by recording 57 total tackles (13 for loss), notching 12 quarterback hits, and achieving 9 sacks. His performance contributed to his team’s advancement to the state semifinals.
In addition to his football abilities, Perry-Wright has demonstrated his athleticism in track and field, achieving a 41-9 in the shot put and a 12.60 in the 100-meter dash during his sophomore year.
Potential for Texas A&M’s Defensive Line
Should Texas A&M succeed in securing Perry-Wright’s commitment, they would add a significant piece to their defensive line group for the 2026 class. This group would potentially include other notable recruits such as four-stars Jordan Carter, Jermaine Kinsler, Samu Moala, and five-star Lamar Brown. With the loss of three defensive line starters to the NFL, depth is a critical need for Texas A&M, which has already secured four commitments for the 2026 class.
Commitment Announcement Details
Perry-Wright’s much-anticipated commitment announcement will be livestreamed on YouTube and CBS Sports at 5 p.m. ET on July 5, making it accessible for fans and followers of college football eager to see where this talented athlete will continue his career.
