Texas A&M football capitalizes on five-star corner's visit to close the deal

The Aggies wasted absolutely no time in getting this one set in stone.

It looks like five-star corner Josh Dobson's visit to Texas A&M football is going swimmingly, based on how vocal he's being about it on social media. The Aggies came into this visit behind some other schools, but they are clearly intent on making sure they are in prime position by the time he leaves.

They are apparently doing quite a good job of that. Dobson came to Aggieland on an unofficial visit, but as of only a few minutes ago, he tweeted out a link to an image that showed he is set to return for an official visit this summer:

The Aggies by no means had the momentum here with Dobson when he arrived, but they have been a player in his recruitment for some time. There's been some LSU smoke going on for the Hough, NC corner— Kiffin has been making some moves in the Carolinas with his recent pickup of five-star DE Jaiden Bryant, and it looks like he had his sights set on adding Dobson as well.

That won't be an easy task if Mike Elko and company have anything to say about it, though. Their defensive back recruiting has hit a new level during this cycle, and they are not afraid to be greedy with how many top-ranked players they bring in. Dobson could join three other current five-star commits in the defensive backfield for the maroon and white— and with a position group that can collapse with just one weak link, having so many lockdown players is an attractive thing for a guy like this.

There's still miles to go here, of course. LSU will no doubt make their case once again when Dobson returns home, but the Aggies are not being shy about their intentions to get him on campus once more. That June 6-8 weekend will see a lot of top talent in College Station, which could give Dobson quite the look at his potential future with the Aggies if everything goes according to plan. Mike Elko and company are cooking right now, and this could be the latest domino to fall if momentum holds.
