Texas A&M football will achieve rarest of recruiting feats this Junior Day weekend

Texas A&M football will be hosting a star-studded cast of recruits for this upcoming Junior Day— and they could pull off something rarely seen.

Texas A&M football's recruiting class for the upcoming year is already an excellent group. The Aggies have put together a ten-man class thus far that ranks as the second-best class in the nation up to this point, and features many top-100 talents.

The most interesting piece of this is that the Aggies have done this without yet closing on any of their five-star targets. There are guys atop the national rankings who are very high on the Ags but have yet to commit to any school— and if the Aggies can close on those players, the rest of the nation should watch out.

Two of those players have set visits for this spring to College Station in OL Jackson Cantwell— the number one player in the composite rankings— and OL/DL Lamar Brown. Both of these players are top 10 in the nation, and the Aggies have a real shot with them both— with Brown especially being high on Texas A&M football.

Highly-ranked prospect's visit to Texas A&M football means rare feat for Aggie recruiting team

But another visit announcement today has Aggie fans wide-eyed with the possibilities. Immanuel Iheanacho, the second-ranked player in the nation by the composite rankings, will be in College Station this weekend.

This would put the composite number one and number two players in the nation in Aggieland on the same weekend. Even in the 2022 class, where it seemed like the Ags could cherry-pick any and every prospect they wanted to, this was never accomplished.

Getting them on campus is one thing, of course— closing is another. Adam Cushing has shown that he can bring in top-tier talent with the best of them, though, bringing in a rock-solid OL class in the previous cycle. If the Aggies are able to bring in both Cantwell and Iheanacho, though, that would be one of the best offensive line hauls ever seen.
