Texas A&M just keeps adding to their top-ranked 2027 class, but while there are some extremely big fish left that have yet to commit, the Aggies' latest pledges have come from more underrated targets. That's the story again with Texas A&M's latest commitment, Trey Haddad, a wide receiver from Cleveland, Ohio.
Haddad is a three-star receiver who stands at 6'1" and 175 LBs. The Aggies won out for his pledge over schools like Louisville and Michigan State— not exactly the schools that Texas A&M is used to battling for recruits, both due to geography and general stature of program, but the Aggies clearly see something big in Haddad to take his commitment.

This is another example of Mike Elko trusting his own evaluations over and against those of the recruiting site experts, as had he been going only off of ranking, the Aggies would not have taken Haddad's commitment. The Aggies' newest pledge ranks as the #1317 player nationally— the Aggies' next-lowest is #576, and nearly half of their commits rank within the top 100.
Texas A&M picks up unexpected wide receiver commitment from Trey Haddad
This is not to say that Haddad is a bad player, of course. Clearly, the Aggie coaches do not think so if they extended him a committable offer. What it is saying is that he was not a player that many Aggie fans had on their radar coming into the weekend.
There were a lot of eyes on a guy like Landen Williams-Callis, the top-ranked running back that the Aggies are in on. From the wide receiver ranks, there has been a lot of buzz about recent official visitor Eric McFarland as well.
However, Haddad did not fit that profile. Watching the tape shows a guy that can move pretty well, and he's related to several former NFL players: his father, uncle, and grandfather all played in the league at one point.
Despite a low ranking, the fact that he has offers from several other Power 4 schools should speak strongly to how he is actually perceived around the country. Again, Michigan State and Louisville are not schools that the Aggies are normally competing against for talent, but the point still stands.
Apart from that, Holmon Wiggins' resume as a developer and receiver coach helps guarantee some faith on the part of fans. He's done an amazing job in finding and developing receivers, and the Aggies have had some guys come through who were lower-rated out of high school but turned into big time players— think Mike Evans and KC Concepcion.
Haddad won't be either of those players, but the point remains that the staff is taking him for a reason. Fans are and should be excited to see how this pans out.
