Texas A&M officially has their quarterback of the future set, as the Aggies picked up that could very well end up being their biggest commitment of the 2028 cycle in Donald Tabron II. The passer out of Cass Technical high school in Michigan chose the Aggies over LSU and Oregon in a massive victory for Texas A&M over two offensive powers in college football.
BREAKING: Elite 2028 QB Donald Tabron II has Committed to Texas A&M, he tells me for @Rivals

Tabron is the composite no. 3 quarterback in the nation, and while very few 2028 prospects have officially been granted five-star status, he is in the position to get there if the rankings went final as of today as a top-30 player in the nation. In other words, this is the Aggies’ biggest win at the quarterback position since Conner Weigman back in 2022– and Tabron will be coming into a much better and more steady situation than did Weigman all those years ago.
This commitment is massive for the Aggies in a couple of ways. If there’s a place where A&M has had some questions going forward, it’s at signal-caller— not exactly the spot where you want to lack assuredness, but it’s the situation Texas A&M is in. Now, though, that they have Tabron in the boat, he’s the clear heir apparent.
Texas A&M picks up massive five-star commitment in QB Donald Tabron II
Tabron’s film is extremely impressive already, even as just a sophomore. He plays for one of the biggest high schools in the Midwest when it comes to producing elite talent, Cass Technical in Detroit, and so starting for them at such a young age shows just how prodigious his talent actually is.
The thing that immediately stands out about Tabron is his accuracy. He clearly has a knack for putting the ball where it’s supposed to be, even as a high school sophomore, and that’s obvious from his film— it’s something, too, that has not been a defining feature of most Aggie quarterbacks in the last few years (barring Weigman in certain games, but injuries and consistency ended up sinking his A&M career).
The other thing that is very appealing about Tabron is his measurables. He already stands at 6’4”, prototypical size for a signal-caller, and could add a lot more weight to his frame as he continues to age— he’s currently listed as 190 LBs, but it will be shocking if that number doesn’t see a significant increase over the next couple of seasons.
Tabron’s commitment will likely have a pied-piper-like effect in this class: adding elite quarterbacks early on is usually a solid bellwether for teams that they will be able to get some more big time talent in the boat as things progress. The Aggies are in good position for quite a few big time 2028 prospects right now, and Tabron will only help those chances.
It’s nothing short of a massive coup for the Aggies to get this highly-rated of a passer out of an area of the country so far away— and to do it over such offensive luminaries like Oregon and Lane Kiffin’s LSU only adds to the prominence of this win.
