Only hours after receiving an earth-shattering prediction to flip five-star Auburn commitment Bralan Womack away from the Tigers, Texas A&M is looking like they're about to pull off yet another big time flip from an SEC rival. With Auburn already hurting from the Aggies' moves on the trail, Texas A&M is now looking down to Gainesville to snag their next commitment.
Texas A&M has long been involved in the recruitment of four-star edge rusher Kevin "KJ" Ford out of Duncanville, but he elected to commit to the Florida Gators earlier this year. Since then, though, things have been rocky (to put it lightly) down in Gainesville, and it's been clear since Billy Napier was fired that Ford has been looking around.
It looks like the Aggies are about to become the beneficiary of this eventuality, as the no. 101-ranked player in the nation per 247Sports has been predicted to switch his commitment from the Gators to the Aggies.
Texas A&M predicted to flip four-star edge rusher Kevin "KJ" Ford from Florida Gators
Steve Wiltfong and Sam Spiegleman of Rivals both predicted Ford to defect to the Ags earlier today:

The Aggies previously were full up on edge rusher players, but when Jordan Carter decommitted last month, a spot suddenly opened up. This matched up well with Ford's timeline, and him being an in-state prospect with whom the Aggies were quite familiar, this one seemed like it was only a matter of time.
Ford is a highly productive rusher for the Duncanville Panthers, and he comes from a program with championship pedigree. He's not a sack artist like Tristian Givens, for example, but the role he would play in Mike Elko's defense is a quite important one.
Hopefully Elko, Sean Spencer, Tony Jerod-Eddie, and the rest of this recruiting staff can close things out in a strong way here. Landing Ford to go along with Womack in closing out this recruiting class would only further show just how elite of a group this is, and the foundation that Elko is laying in College Station would be further vindicated as that of a true championship-level program.
