College Station Welcomes Elite Commitment to Aggie Football
College Station, TX – Texas A&M football has officially gained a pivotal commitment from five-star edge prospect Bryce Perry-Wright, strengthening their 2026 recruiting class. Perry-Wright, who hails from Buford, Georgia, announced his decision on July 5, 2024. He chose the Aggies over other prominent programs, including Texas, Clemson, and Miami.
Perry-Wright is currently ranked as the third-best edge prospect and 32nd overall in the 2026 class, according to 247Sports’ composite ratings. His stature at 6-foot-2 and 250 pounds, combined with his elite athleticism and adaptable frame, positions him as a promising recruit for Texas A&M. Scouting reports display his quickness, body control, and propensity to create negative plays, showcasing talents that have emerged since his freshman year.
Significance of the Commitment
The commitment of Perry-Wright marks a significant addition, with him being the 24th overall recruit in Texas A&M’s 2026 class, and the fourth defensive lineman among them. Other defensive linemen who have pledged to Texas A&M this cycle include four-star prospects Jordan Carter, Samu Moala, and Jermaine Kinsler. The Aggies are currently enjoying a successful recruiting season, with their 2026 class ranked fourth in the nation by 247Sports and jumping to third overall according to On3 Sports/Rivals Team Recruiting Rankings.
In addition to Perry-Wright, Texas A&M has garnered commitments from several other highly-ranked players, such as five-star cornerback Brandon Arrington and 19 four-star prospects from the 2024 class. The recruiting class is now classified as the second-best in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), succeeding only to Georgia.
Coaching and Recruiting Strategy
Head coach Mike Elko has been acknowledged for his effective recruitment strategy, which emphasizes personal connections with potential recruits. The culture in College Station is increasingly viewed as a desirable destination for athletes looking to join a competitive program. Recent commitments include running back KJ Edwards, EDGE Tristen Givens, and IOL Samuel Roseborough, who also pledged to the Aggies in June 2024.
Looking Ahead to Future Classes
As Texas A&M bolsters its 2026 recruiting class, they also have their sights set on the 2027 class. Anticipation is building for the potential commitment of quarterback Jayce Johnson, who ranks as the No. 2 quarterback in the 2027 class and 32nd overall in the nation. Johnson’s commitment announcement is expected on August 3, 2024, with Texas A&M listed among his finalists. Should he choose the Aggies, Johnson would become one of the top four-star quarterbacks signed under coach Mike Elko.
Currently, Texas A&M’s 2027 recruiting class includes four-star tight end George Lamons Jr. Moreover, Helaman Casuga is the only quarterback committed to the Aggies for the 2026 class, holding a national ranking of 18th. With upcoming announcements and growing commitments, Texas A&M aims to surpass its most highly-regarded recruiting class achieved in 2022 under former head coach Jimbo Fisher.
Overall, the addition of Bryce Perry-Wright not only enhances the roster for the Aggies but solidifies Texas A&M’s standing as a powerhouse in college football recruiting.
