Current Aggies considered future NFL draft picks also include linebacker Taurean York, EDGE player Cashius Howell, and defensive back Will Lee III. Furthermore, Texas A&M has secured a commitment from four-star recruit Jayce Johnson, a dual-threat quarterback from Valdosta, Georgia, who is currently ranked as ESPN’s No. 3 quarterback prospect and the No. 63 overall recruit in the ESPN Junior 300. In 2024, Johnson led his high school team to a commendable 10-2 record, throwing for 1,799 yards and 16 touchdowns.
