Texas A&M football recruiting has suddenly caught fire after the pickup of five-star defensive end Zyron Forstall— the kind of player that can be a staple of your defense for years to come. He joins Kamarui Dorsey, Raylaun Henry, and JayQuan Snell as five-star commitment to the maroon and white in this class, and there are surely more to come soon.
The Aggies are building this 2027 class into something special thanks to the work that this staff has put in over the last few years on the trail. Mike Elko and company have targeted this cycle as the one where they want to make a massive push for the top-ranked class in the nation, and they are so far delivering on that hype.
So that raises the question: who exactly will be next to hop in the boat for the Aggies? Among many names, there is one that stands out, so it's time to call a shot.
Texas A&M's next five-star commitment will come from elite offensive lineman Albert Simien
Texas A&M has some major momentum with a lot of top prospects along the offensive front, but one where they've had a head of steam for a while is interior offensive lineman Albert Simien. The Aggies were predicted to land him quite some time ago, and he's had a soft spot for them for quite a while before that.
Simien recently commented on how the Aggies are pulling out all the stops to land his commitment, so this could be happening at any time now. It's high time for Adam Cushing to start reeling in the big names, given how many players at the position he's had taking a long look at the Aggies this cycle, and Simien could be the first domino to fall.
There are some other big time names that the Aggies are in good with right now, chief among them being Anthony Sweeney, another star edge player. Eric McFarland, Forstall's teammate, has also been predicted to land with the Aggies, and he'll make his way to town soon enough for his own official visit.
There are plenty of players that could make a decision for the Aggies sooner rather than later, which is a testament to the work this staff has done. Hopefully, we start to see things pick up pretty quickly here— there's a good feeling in the air right now about what this team is doing on the trail.
