Texas A&M has just landed a commitment from Prosper offensive guard Zaden Krempin, making him the third commitment in the class along the offensive line after Avery Morcho and Samuel Roseborough. Long thought to be a Texas lean, Krempin made the decision for the Aggies today after visits to both Austin and College Station apparently cleared up where his future lies.

This is the third straight head-to-head win by the Aggies over the Longhorns: Samuel Roseborough, who is himself an offensive lineman, KJ Edwards, and now Krempin. This is a simply massive addition in more ways than one, and it moves the Aggies even further up in the national rankings.

Krempin is the kind of guy who adds to an elite offensive line class, which is exactly what the Aggies are building in this cycle. Being a highly-regarded recruit for as long as he has, this is a major win for the Ags as they continue to ascend in the national spotlight.

This 2026 cycle is the one that the Aggies have been building towards for some time, ever since Elko stepped on campus. In that regard, he is showing how easily he's been able to outfox Sarkisian in Austin, which is especially impressive given the disparate results on the field this previous year.

If he's able to continue building on these results, it's going to spell trouble on the trail for Texas. Elko's program continues to bear the fruit you'd expect given the care and organizational skill he put into its construction.

Krempin is the latest example of that, but he certainly won't be the last. This win over Texas on the trail will only continue to build momentum for the Aggies moving forward, and I can't wait to see how this class ends up.

This is all contingent, of course, on a continued ability to deliver on the field. The Aggies need to show some steps have been taken this fall against an even tougher schedule— otherwise, things could go south on the trail, as I guarantee other programs are watching like vultures at the moment.
