College Station, Texas – The Texas A&M Aggies made significant strides in their 2026 recruiting efforts during a high-stakes visit weekend that drew dozens of prospects to campus in early June. Among the attendees were some of the top talents in the 2026 class, both committed to and considering Texas A&M.
One of the standout moments of the weekend was the reaffirmation of commitment by four-star running back Jonathan Hatton Jr.. Having originally committed to Texas A&M in March, Hatton officially announced his decision to shut down his recruitment, declaring his unwavering dedication to the university. As a highly regarded player, he ranks as the No. 8 running back and the No. 17 overall player in Texas according to 247Sports. His commitment is part of a solid foundation for the Aggies’ 2026 class, now consisting of 12 commits including several notable recruits.
Another key figure, four-star wide receiver Aaron Gregory, also reaffirmed his commitment to the Aggies during the weekend visit. Gregory has been committed to Texas A&M since October 27 and addressed circulating rumors about his commitment being motivated by financial incentives, instead emphasizing the positive relationship he has with the coaching staff. He is currently recognized as the No. 9 wide receiver in the country, the No. 7 player in Georgia, and ranked No. 72 overall in the 2026 recruiting class. In his junior season, Gregory demonstrated his potential by catching 53 passes for 914 yards and scoring nine touchdowns.
As it stands, Texas A&M’s 2026 recruiting class is ranked No. 7 nationally by 247Sports. The Aggies hosted a total of 18 talented prospects during the visit weekend, with both committed athletes and newcomers participating. Six of Texas A&M’s current commits are considered “hard” commitments, indicating a strong likelihood that they will sign with the program this winter.
The coaching staff under head coach Mike Elko is keenly focused on establishing and nurturing relationships with both existing commits and potential recruits. This weekend served as a crucial platform for the Aggies to foster these connections, promoting a supportive environment as Texas A&M prepares for their future recruiting landscape.
Among the notable visitors was five-star wide receiver Tristen Keys, who is currently committed to LSU, as well as five-star safety Bralan Womack. Their presence further highlights the competitive nature of the recruiting process, as Texas A&M continues to target elite talent for future seasons.
Additionally, Camren Hamiel from Goodyear, Arizona, officially became the Aggies’ 12th commitment for the 2026 recruiting class during the visit. This growing number of commitments indicates Texas A&M’s proactive approach to solidify their roster ahead of the upcoming recruiting cycle.
The successful visit weekend not only strengthens the current recruitment class but also sets a positive tone for the future, as the Aggies aim to build a robust team foundation. The staff’s commitment to forming meaningful relationships with prospects and their families could prove critical in the competitive world of college football recruitment.
