2026 5-stars Texas A&M football fans should know: WR Tristen Keys (Composite no. 17, Hattiesburg MS)

Strangely enough, this is another Texas A&M and Tennessee battle for a five-star prospect out of Mississippi. Keys, the number 17 player in the 247 Sports composite, is a long and lanky pass-catcher at 6'2" and 175 LBs, but he's dynamic with the ball in his hands.

The Aggies have gotten Keys to campus several times, but as with any high-profile recruiting battle, you'll have to battle right up until the end for a guy like this. As I mentioned, it looks like Tennessee is the biggest competition for the Aggies at the moment.

In fact, that might be better phrased as the Aggies being the biggest competition that the Vols are facing. It looks like Big Orange has something of the inside track right now, but the Aggies are fighting hard here. Holmon Wiggins has shown that he can recruit with the best of them, but he's got a real battle on his hands.
