College Station, Texas – Texas A&M University announced today that it has secured a commitment from Jayce Johnson, a highly-touted four-star quarterback from Valdosta, Georgia, who is ranked No. 3 nationally at his position by ESPN. Johnson, who stands at 6-foot-3 and weighs 210 pounds, plays for Lowndes High School. This commitment is viewed as a monumental achievement for Aggies’ head coach Mike Elko and offensive coordinator Collin Klein.
Jayce Johnson chose Texas A&M over several competitors, which included notable programs such as Florida State, Mississippi State, Tennessee, and South Carolina. His decision came after he took an official visit to Texas A&M in June and has been part of the coaching staff’s radar since middle school. Johnson’s recruiting journey highlights the importance of relationships and timing in college football recruitment.
During the 2024 high school football season, Johnson showcased his talent by completing 123 of 183 passing attempts, achieving an impressive 67.2% completion rate. He threw for a total of 1,799 yards, notching 16 touchdowns against just three interceptions. Apart from his passing prowess, Johnson also displayed his versatility, rushing for 318 yards and scoring an additional three rushing touchdowns, underscoring his dual-threat capabilities that make him an attractive prospect for college teams.
Importance of Commitment
Johnson’s commitment is critical as it bolsters Texas A&M’s quarterback depth, particularly as the team prepares for the 2025 season. The current quarterback situation for the Aggies remains uncertain, with Marcel Reed entering his first full season as the starting quarterback on August 30, 2025, against UTSA. This uncertainty makes Johnson’s arrival important for establishing long-term stability at the quarterback position.
Johnson is not only a cornerstone for the 2027 recruiting class but is also the first commitment for Texas A&M following the recent decommitment of tight end George Lamons. His recruitment has seen interest from various Power 5 schools, including Florida and Miami. Analysts have noted that Johnson’s leadership qualities and athletic capabilities align well with Texas A&M’s strategic vision for future seasons.
Future Prospects at Texas A&M
With Johnson joining, Texas A&M enhances its pool of talented quarterbacks, which already includes four-star freshman Brady Hart and four-star recruit Helaman Casuga from the 2026 class. Recruiting analysts have consistently highlighted Texas A&M’s strong position among future SEC quarterback rosters, especially with Johnson’s verbal commitment.
In summary, Jayce Johnson’s commitment to Texas A&M marks a pivotal moment not only for his future but also for the Aggies’ aspirations in college football. With a solid track record at Lowndes High School and an extensive scouting history, Johnson is expected to contribute significantly to improving Texas A&M’s football program.
