2026 5-stars Texas A&M football fans should know: ATH Brandon Arrington (Composite no. 15, Spring Valley CA)

Arrington is a guy that we've heard a lot about in this upcoming cycle. The Aggies have positioned themselves well with the number 15 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite rankings, and he has visited College Station numerous times.

In fact, Arrington is the only one on this list so far to have received a prediction from Steve Wiltfong (now of On3) to land with the Aggies. That kind of prediction usually only comes in when there's some solid information one way or the other, so it seems like A&M is in a really solid position here.

Listed as an ATH by most services, Arrington, one of the top playmakers in California and the nation, can play either receiver or defensive back. His length would make him a really potent cover man, and that may be where the Aggies see him.

This is a recruitment where I feel good about the Aggies closing things out if things continue apace. Arrington is a rare athletic talent, so his addition would be huge for A&M.
